New Kroma Scalemaster 1500
The new Kroma Scalemaster 1500 was launched at SPE in Brussels and can descale fish at a speed of up to 80 fish per minute.
The machine is mounted on a solid frame with spring suspension so that it adjusts to the size of the fish.
The descaling is done by rotating brushes that are driven by hydraulic motors and the speed of the machine can be adjusted by pressing the control panel on the front.
The descaling process works better without water but taking the cleaning of the brushes into consideration, a limited amount of water may be used. The water consumption of the machine can be adjusted to suit the operator’s requirements.
During the descaling process the fish is held in place by strong ties – holding the fish in place is important to achieve a good descaling. The tightening of the ties is done pneumatically and the tightening process can be adjusted smoothly. The ties can be removed in a minute for easier cleaning of both the ties and the machine.
Scales and water run down and out of the machine, making it easy to collect and filter the scales from the water. The collection of the scales is done in a filter system that can be easily emptied and cleaned.
