The prototype of Baader’s new filleting machine, the BAADER 582, was shown at SPE 2012 in Brussels.
The company reports that many customers were interested and amazed by the quality of the fillet in this early stage of development.
The design of the machine follows the successful BAADER 581, a salmon filleting machine. Baader says it is also designed in a completely new manner with respect to hygiene, food safety, maintenance, performance, fillet quality and production control.
Due to computer controlled tools and self adapting fish guides, fewer mis-cuts and stops occur, reducing necessary trimming effort in conjunction with best fillet quality.
A wide working range can be processed without adjustments and the customer can switch between different species (e.g. cod, saithe or haddock) by easy settings via a Touchpanel.
Baader claims that the quality of the fillet is probably the best ever in the world, especially in the high value loin area, as the membrane in this area stays intact.
Due to the new cutting process, without stickle and scraper knives, there is no stress on the fillet, which is extremely important with soft fish. The black belly skin is perfectly removed.
A newly designed collarbone cutter will be integrated into the machine at a later stage. This additional tool will save yield, quality and labour, and will make the filleting machine even more effective. The collarbone is cut in a yield-saving way by measuring each fish.
