Seac will be promoting its FPM-200 Nobbing Machine, which is tailor-made for each type and size of fish, with its own special Head and Fish pocket to obtain maximum yield from each fish. According to Ulf Groenqvist, president of Seac AB, the individual head-measuring-device secures the best cut just behind the gill fin and compared to a “standard two-knives-vacuum-cutting-machine” yield is up to 15% higher using this machine.
The machine has become very popular in areas where fish tend to be smaller - such as the Mediterranean Sea and the Baltic Sea – where today filleting machines can be found for sprats/sardines/anchovy down to approximately 60/80 fish/kilo and nobbing machines down to 80/100 fish/kilo.
Seac’s FPM-400 is an FPM-200 but with a filleting machine added for smaller fish, but with a capacity of up to 450 pockets/min during H&G+T and 250 pockets/min during filleting.
Co-exhibitor EasyCan has designed and installed over 80 sardine packing lines in Africa and South America. The latest line was installed in Morocco some weeks ago, and two lines have also been installed in Thailand.
