FISHTECS Flowline/Trimming line

• Used for the efficient processing and preparation of fish fillets in a continuous flow.
• Ideal for seafood processing plants requiring high throughput and ergonomic workstations.
• Suitable for operations focused on portioning, skinning, and quality control of fish products.
• Applicable in facilities aiming to optimise labour and improve product consistency.

Typical capacity

Varies significantly by configuration; typically designed for medium to high volume processing.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, for motors and controls.

Materials of construction

Predominantly stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance, with food-grade plastics for belts and contact parts.

Footprint

Highly modular; dimensions are specific to the line length and number of workstations, requiring a dedicated processing area.

Throughput

Dependent on operator efficiency and line speed, commonly measured in pieces or kilograms per hour.

Ergonomics

Units of this type typically feature adjustable heights and optimised work angles to reduce operator fatigue.

• What types of fish can be processed on this line?

  Flowline/Trimming lines are generally versatile and can be configured for various fish species, including salmon, cod, haddock, and other common commercial fish.

• Is this line suitable for automation integration?

• What are the typical maintenance requirements?

• Can the line be customised to specific processing needs?

• What are the hygiene standards for this equipment?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
