Schroeder - Schroder IMAX 430F Needle Injector

• Injecting brine or marinades into fish fillets or whole fish to enhance flavour, moisture, and shelf life.
• Processing various types of fish, including salmon, cod, and mackerel, for smoked, cured, or fresh markets.
• Preparing fish products for further processing such as smoking, freezing, or packaging.
• Used in medium to large-scale fish processing plants and aquaculture operations.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 500 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour, depending on product size and injection level.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, is required.

Injection system

Units typically feature multiple needles (e.g., 80-200 needles) with adjustable injection pressure and pattern.

Brine system

Includes an integrated brine tank, often with a filtration system, for continuous and hygienic operation.

Material construction

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

Product dimensions

Can typically accommodate fish fillets or whole fish up to a certain width and thickness, depending on the conveyor and needle bed design.

Control system

Often features a PLC-based control system with a touchscreen interface for setting parameters like injection pressure, speed, and brine circulation.

• What maintenance is typically required for a needle injector?

  Regular cleaning and sanitisation are crucial. Maintenance typically involves checking needle integrity, pump seals, and filter elements, along with periodic lubrication of moving parts.

• Can this machine be used for products other than fish?

• What kind of brine filtration is typically included?

• Is specialist training required to operate a Schroder IMAX 430F?

• What are the typical safety features on such equipment?

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.
