Compact Salmon Trimming

Features

Unloading and Desliming

At the beginning of the process, with the introduction of the raw material, the Carnitech (CT) L50 box loader provides ergonomic unloading of salmon boxes. The CT Deslimer is then used to rinse off slime, blood and bacteria from the whole salmon in order to avoid potential bacterial risk during processing. Using high water pressure, the fillets are thoroughly rinsed on both sides, including the inside.  

Deheading and Filleting

The new CT 2620 deheader feeds the CT 2630 filleting machine automatically. This not only reduces labour costs but also ensures uniform infeed, which in turn increases yield and filleting quality.

Trimming

The Marel Intelligent Trimming Machine (ITM) then trims the salmon fillets using 10 robot controlled tools. At its highest capacity, it replaces 8 skilled operators in manual trimming, with up to 2% higher yield and improved uniform trimming.

Pinboning and Skinning

After passing through a Pinbone Remover, the fillets are skinned on a CBF 495 Dual Lane Skinner. The ‘active skin grip’ system ensures reliable and complete skinning, which enhances performance and helps increase yield.    

Washing

The fillets are cleaned by the CT Fillet Washer, which is designed to prepare fillets prior to packing, salting or freezing.  The washer eliminates any impurities or unwanted remains from the filleting, trimming and pinboning processes. Surplus water is removed by adjustable air blowers. 

Portioning, Batching and Packing

Finally, the fillets are automatically fed to a dual-lane IPM III Intelligent Portioning Machine. Equipped with the Cut ‘n’ Batch algorithm, it automatically processes fixed-weight batches that are automatically delivered into trays by Marel’s QuickLoader.
