Carnitech 1635.20 Fillet Washer

• Washing fish fillets to remove scales, blood, and other debris before further processing.
• Rinsing seafood portions to improve hygiene and product presentation.
• Cleaning various protein products post-filleting or portioning in a continuous flow.
• Preparing fish fillets for brining, smoking, or packaging operations.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly, but units commonly process hundreds of kilograms of fillets per hour, depending on product size and contamination level.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate motor protection.

Water supply

A continuous supply of potable water is essential for the spray bars, with typical pressures ranging from 2-4 bar.

Construction material

Equipment for food processing, including fillet washers, is invariably constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Dimensions

While specific dimensions vary, fillet washers commonly have a footprint of 1.5 to 3 metres in length and approximately 1 metre in width, with a height suitable for integration into processing lines.

Spray system

Units typically feature multiple spray bars with adjustable nozzles, positioned for comprehensive top and bottom washing of fillets.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning of spray nozzles and internal surfaces is required to maintain hygiene and operational efficiency. Bearings and seals may require periodic inspection and replacement.

• What kind of water pressure is needed for effective washing?

  Effective washing typically requires a consistent water pressure of 2-4 bar at the inlet to ensure adequate spray force from the nozzles. Higher or lower pressures may affect cleaning performance.

• Can this machine be used for products other than fish fillets?

• How easy is it to clean and sanitise?

• What are the typical wear parts on a fillet washer?

• Does this unit come with a warranty?

Fish equipment in food processing is generally well-regarded for durability and reliability when maintained properly. Buyers typically value robust construction and ease of cleaning. When purchasing used fish processing equipment, buyers should inspect for corrosion, verify mechanical functionality, and confirm hygiene compliance standards. Common strengths include longevity with proper maintenance, straightforward operation, and cost effectiveness compared to new alternatives. Stainless steel components and established brand reliability are frequently prioritized considerations in the secondhand market.
