Description
The Filleting Machines FR-150 & 200 are reliable, versatile, high speed filleting units specially designed for the production of single fillets free of back bone and ribs.
Only minor adjustments are required to process a wide variety of species and sizes due to the machines' unique location method that utilizes the internal bone structure of the fish.
METHOD OF OPERATION
An operator places the head-off fish onto the feed system between the feed rollers which carry the fish into the drive belts. In-feed systems for either eviscerated or non eviscerated fish are available.
The drive belts then transport the fish over the belly cutting blades and belly cleaning wheel and past the back bone removal blades.
The back bone and offal are ejected into the waste chute and the two separate halves of the fish are located onto rib guides for transportation past the rib removal blades.
The rib is then removed and ejected into the waste chute, and the two fillets are placed skin-down onto a discharge conveyor.
The FR-150 is specially designed to accommodate fish in the size of 85-450 g, such as lake perch, bass, trout, bream and garfish.
The FR-200 is suitable for a variety of fish in the size range of 340-1800 g, including trout, ocean perch, lake perch, redfish, whitefish, walleye, tilapia, mullet, salmon, mackerel, bass, sea bass and sea bream.
