What is the primary benefit of the U-cut?

The U-cut is designed to leave the maximum amount of neck flesh on the fish trunk, significantly increasing the overall yield compared to other heading methods.

How does the machine handle different fish sizes?

The Baader 434 typically features automatic measurement and positioning of each fish, allowing it to adjust the cut according to individual fish dimensions, reducing reliance on operator skill.

Is the tail cutting device included?

The tail cutting device is commonly available as optional equipment. Buyers should confirm with the seller if it is included with this specific refurbished unit.

What kind of maintenance is typically required?

Routine maintenance for this class of equipment generally involves daily cleaning, regular inspection of cutting blades and moving parts, and periodic lubrication and replacement of wear parts.

Can this machine process other types of fish?

While specifically designed and optimised for salmon and sea trout, its suitability for other species would depend on their size, shape, and bone structure. Buyers should consult the seller for specific applications.

The BAADER 434 is a unique heading machine for salmon and sea trout. Its result is a perfect U-cut which leaves the neck flesh on the trunk, increasing yield to the maximum. The cutting result is fairly independent from the skill of the operator as the fish is automatically positioned in the proper position, and because the fish is transported in fish trays through the machine. Each fish is measured before cutting. The tail cutting device which is available as optional equipment eliminates the need for manual tail cutting. The use of the tail cutter can also help to improve the result of the subsequent filleting machine. Improves production stability, performs a perfect U-cut, maximum yield, result is independent from operator's skill, automatic adjustment to fish size, careful handling of the fish body, tail cutter optional available.

Automated heading for improved production stability and consistency.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity: For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 25 to 40 fish 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 a power consumption in the range of 2-5 kW.
Suitable feed sizes: This model is designed for salmon and sea trout, typically handling fish weights from 2 kg to 7 kg, with automatic adjustment for varying fish sizes.
Cutting method: Performs a 'U-cut' to maximise yield by leaving neck flesh on the trunk.
Material construction: Commonly constructed from stainless steel and food-grade plastics for hygiene and durability in wet processing environments.
Footprint: A unit of this type typically requires a floor space of approximately 3 to 4 metres in length and 1.5 to 2 metres in width.
Water consumption: Water is typically used for cleaning and lubrication, with consumption varying based on operational hours and cleaning cycles.
