Baader is working to start up a new filleting line for salmon processor Nova Sea, by end of the year.
Nova Sea invested in a complete Baader Autofeed System, including four BA142’s Gutting Machines for salmon, in 2011, and a manual gutting table and a manual fed BA142 has since been integrated into this processing line.
Nova Sea extended its Autofeed System at the beginning of 2013 by upgrading the gutting line with an intelligent k-factor system. Implementing the k-factor system makes it possible to obtain certain attributes of each individual fish that is fed into the Autofeed System. All k-factor information, including fish size and weight, is collected in Baader’s new software system B'Logic - delivered by Baader Logistix.
Baader was chosen to deliver a full filleting line to Nova Sea and the contract was signed during SPE 2013.
This new filleting line will be capable to run with up to 24 fish/min, ensuring a very high yield on raw material, high quality on the end product, as well as a continuous throughput. The ordered filleting line includes the entire process chain, including a heading machine, filleting machine, transfer unit, trimming machine, inspection unit, and various weighing units.
The complete production and live yield monitoring is controlled by the Baader Logistix software B'Logic. Furthermore, the whole process is controlled by an advanced and user friendly B'Logic software system where all customer orders are handled directly from the whole fish gutting area to the filleting line into the packing area.
"We are very happy with the performance of the full automatic gutting line from Baader and we are sure that we will get the best solution for further processing and the best service, too", said Odd Strøm, managing director of Nova Sea.
