Scanvaegt''s new online trimming line is an integrated system for improving yield, performance, product quality, hygiene and traceability throughout the trimming and filleting process. It is a Turnkey fish process line with online trimming table for fish filleting

System description

The online trimming table is made to batch feed whole fish directly from the filleting machine to the trimming operator. After manual filleting of the whole fish, the fish fillets are sent further on to individual weighing and quality control. The system has total online control of all quantities and yield, as well as collection of data in all parts of the processing, from filleting machine through trimming function to packed and shipped product.

The batch feeding of products to the ergonomically-designed operator station is regulated by the system. The fillets pass a hopper scale and are§ automatically taken to a magazine plate in front of the operator. After trimming the fillet is moved for further processing via a conveyor belt.

Quality control and documentation

The individual operators are registered in the system ID-number. and operator station number. The system calculates the running number of weight, yield and percentage distribution on each cut for each operator on the trimming line.

All data from the trimming meter line are online Scanvaegt's automation system, which makes it possible to see all necessary reports and do online remote monitoring.

Quality control-system automatically takes out tests from each operator. The values from the quality control are written into the system after different analysis, depending on the individual trimming job. This makes it possible to give individual wages based on the kg, yield and quality.
