Pisces FR9000 Filleting Machine

• Processing whole fish into fillets for retail or further processing.
• Preparing fish for smoking, curing, or canning operations.
• High-volume filleting in seafood processing plants.
• Reducing manual labour in fish preparation lines.

Typical capacity

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

Power supply

Commonly, units of this type require a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Suitable fish size

Pisces FR9000 machines are typically designed for medium to large fish, such as salmon, often in the 2-7 kg range.

Fillet yield

Modern filleting machines aim for high yield, typically achieving 60-70% fillet yield from whole fish, depending on species and operator settings.

Water consumption

Units often require a continuous water supply for cleaning and lubrication of cutting blades, typically consuming several litres per minute during operation.

Construction material

Machinery designed for food processing, especially seafood, is typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

• What type of fish is this machine suitable for?

  The Pisces FR9000 is specifically noted as suitable for salmon, indicating its design for medium to large, relatively firm-fleshed fish. Buyers should confirm suitability for other species with the seller.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used filleting machine?

• Can this machine produce skin-on and skin-off fillets?

• What are the typical space requirements for a machine of this size?

• Are spare parts readily available for Pisces FR9000 machines?

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.
