• What is the difference between an RST520P and a CLO model?

  The 'P' in RST520P typically denotes a standard derinding machine, while 'CLO' often refers to a version optimised for specific cuts or with particular blade configurations, such as for removing connective tissue or fat.

• Is this machine suitable for both fresh and frozen products?

• What kind of maintenance does a Grasselli RST520P / CLO require?

• Can the blade gap be adjusted?

• Are spare parts readily available for Grasselli machines?

Skinning equipment for meat and poultry processing is valued for reliability and consistent performance in high-volume operations. Buyers typically prioritise machines with robust construction, efficient blade systems, and straightforward maintenance access. Key considerations when purchasing used units include blade condition, operational wear on critical components, and compatibility with existing line speeds. Industry sentiment favours equipment from established manufacturers known for durability. Proper servicing history and functionality verification remain essential factors before purchase.
