Carnitech - Carnitech CT 2612 Pin-boning and Packing line

Applications & Use Cases

• Automated removal of pin bones from various fish species, primarily salmon and trout.
• Integration into fish processing lines for enhanced throughput and product quality.
• Preparation of fish fillets for further processing, such as smoking, portioning, or packaging.
• Use in large-scale fish processing plants requiring high-volume pin-boning operations.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 20 to 40 fillets per minute, depending on fish size and operator efficiency.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate power consumption for motors and controls.

Construction material

Machinery for fish processing is typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Water consumption

Pin-boning machines often require a continuous supply of clean water for cleaning and lubrication of the boning heads during operation.

Footprint

A complete pin-boning and packing line, such as the CT 2612, would typically require a significant floor space, often several metres in length, to accommodate the boning unit, conveyors, and packing stations.

Suitable fish types

This model is primarily designed for processing Atlantic salmon and similar species, though it may be adaptable for other fish with suitable bone structures.
