FTC Twin Lane Pinbone Remover

• Used in fish processing plants for the automated removal of pinbones from fillets.
• Applicable for processing various fish species, commonly salmon, trout, and cod.
• Integrated into production lines to improve fillet quality and reduce manual labour.
• Suitable for operations requiring high throughput and consistent bone removal.

Typical capacity

For this class of twin-lane equipment, throughput can typically range from 20 to 40 fillets per minute per lane, depending on fish size and type.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption that varies by model but is generally in the 2-5 kW range.

Water consumption

Units of this type typically use water for cleaning and lubrication, with consumption varying based on operational hours and cleaning cycles.

Construction material

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance in wet environments.

Footprint

A twin-lane pinbone remover commonly has a footprint of approximately 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 1m to 1.5m in width.

Suitable fillet size

Designed to process a range of fillet sizes; buyers should confirm the specific dimensions this unit can handle with the seller.
