TRIO-FTC is marketing the Japanese Auto Water Scaler System within the EU. The product removes fish scales and slime very efficiently, using high pressure water jets. The first units were put into operation in the UK this year.
Various kinds of bacteria, including Listeria, are present in fish slime and under the scales of fish. By removing fish slime and scales, with the use of high pressure water jets, it is possible to both extend the shelf life of fish and to reduce the presence of undesirable bacteria by up to 95%.
The Auto Water Scaling System completely eliminates the manual scaling in fish processing. The operator’s job is simply to feed fish into the machine, then pick the fish up after scaling.
The machine automatically and efficiently scales fish using high pressure water jets. Line speed and water pressure can be adjusted very simply, as appropriate for the kind of fish being processed.
A scale chamber installed in the machine stores the scales automatically, thus keeping the factory in a clean and hygienic condition.
The machine is used by fish suppliers and processing companies.
