Hake heading gutting machines PN-700

The PN-700 produces a head and tail off belly closed product. The PN-700 uses vacuum to remove the viscera. The machine operates between 100 and 180 fish per minute with two or three operators. The machine can process fish up to 700 mm long. The PN-700 measures each fish individually and adjusts the position of the fish before the head cut. The machine has been used to process Pacific Hake, large Mackerel and other large pelagics. The Pisces PN-700 nobbing machine is suitable for Hake and other species up to a maximum length of 700mm (28"). Incorporating an ultra-sonic fish measuring system and vacuum ports synchronized to the travel of the fish, the PN-700 removes the head and viscera of the fish with maximum efficiency and minimum yield loss. An optional tail removal device with tail cut location is also available. Speeds up to 170 fish per minute are achievable via a programmable logic controller which also collates such production data as: Total fish count, runtime, tray fill percentage (operating efficiency) and fish size in four categories. The PLC has network interface capabilities for transference of data to production control systems. The PN-700 is manufactured entirely from stainless steel and USDA approved construction materials. This includes stainless steel motors, bearings and gearboxes. All electrical controls are in wash down enclosures and electrical circuits are to CE safety standards with lock-out boxes and 24-volt control interface.
