MISCELLANEOUS - 20 station trimming line

• Processing lines for various fish species in medium to large-scale operations.
• Preparation of fish fillets, portions, or other value-added products.
• Integration into larger fish processing factories for enhanced throughput.
• Use in facilities requiring high hygiene standards for food production.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment is highly dependent on fish species, operator efficiency, and specific processing tasks, commonly ranging from several hundred kilograms to over a tonne per hour.

Number of stations

This unit features 20 individual workstations, allowing for significant parallel processing or sequential task allocation.

Construction material

Units of this type are typically constructed from stainless steel, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and compliance with food hygiene standards.

Power supply

Commonly, such lines would require a 3-phase electrical supply, with voltage specifications varying but often 400V, 50Hz for UK operations, plus a consistent water supply.

Footprint

A 20-station line will require a substantial operational footprint, typically several metres in length and width, plus space for access and maintenance.

Integrated features

Units of this type commonly include raw material, box, and waste transporters, along with waste takeaway conveyors and individual water supplies at each station.
