If you’re seeking ways to elevate your fish processing business, keep reading to discover how a fish portioning machine can revolutionize your operations.

Flexible Belt Customization

The belt of VERFOODSOLUTIONS fish portioning machine offers customizable widths, with standard options of 41cm and 60cm to meet specific customer needs. The 41cm belt is ideal for cutting a single row of fish up to 35cm in length, while the 60cm variant accommodates either two rows of fish within 35cm or one row up to 55cm. For those looking to perform double-row cutting with the 41cm belt, the fish can be prepared by removing the head and positioning the tail to overlap the opposite side, allowing for efficient processing. This flexibility in belt width enhances the machine’s operational versatility and adaptability, catering to various portioning requirements in commercial fish processing.

Customization Cutting Direction Option

The fish portioning machine offers customizable cutting directions to meet varying processing needs. While it can cut fish segments directly at a 90-degree angle, it can also create diamond-shaped segments by utilizing different belts for 45 degree diagonal cuts. This method of cutting is performed similarly to straight cuts and can be further enhanced by adjusting the belt to a 45-degree angle. By positioning two fish heads together in the different direction, you can effectively achieve double the output, maximizing efficiency in your fish portioning operations.

Customized Fish Groove Dimensions

The fish portioning machine features a customizable fish groove width and depth to accommodate various sizes and types of fish. For most fish, a groove width of 10 cm is sufficient, allowing for easy placement and manual operation. With a depth of 2 cm, the groove effectively keeps the fish securely in place, preventing slippage and ensuring accurate cutting. For larger fish, we can increase both the width and depth of the groove to ensure that the fish is held tightly on the belt, eliminating any risk of slipping during processing.

Tailored Cutting Blade Sets

The cutting blade set of VERFOODSOLUTIONS fish portioning machine is crafted from durable 400 stainless steel, ensuring sturdiness and longevity. The precision-linked blades and customized  belt work together to guarantee accurate cutting. The distance between blades can be tailored to meet specific cutting widths, with common options including 2cm, 3cm, and 4cm. Additionally, the blade diameter can be customized to accommodate varying fish heights, with larger diameters suitable for taller fish. This versatility enables the creation of uniform fish segments, perfect for dishes like macaroni stewed fish or grilled fish, which are highly sought after in restaurants.

Variable Frequency Options

Fish portioning machines are categorized into variable frequency and non-variable frequency models. Incorporating a frequency converter allows for adjustable cutting speeds, optimizing operations like cutting fish heads, tails, and bodies while ensuring precise, clean cuts that maintain product quality. This technology effectively manages variable cutting loads based on fish size and density, minimizes waste, and enhances safety by regulating speeds and automatically adjusting for obstructions. Features like soft start and stop reduce mechanical wear and prevent product splatter, ultimately boosting energy efficiency and productivity. This advanced control system delivers high-quality output, lowers operational costs, and benefits businesses by increasing yield, reducing waste, and improving product consistency.

Personalized Discharging Mechanism

VERFOODSOLUTIONS fish portioning machine‘s discharging device can be tailored to customer specifications. Each device is tightly welded at the discharge point, with a stainless steel sheet ensuring precise separation of fish cuts. Customers often request separation of the fish head, body, and tail, and we can create three channels based on the size of these parts. For customers needing to cut fish heads off first and then cut the fish into segments, we can customize it to separate only the body and tail. If two rows of fish are processed simultaneously, the channel width will be adjusted accordingly. When inquiring, please provide the dimensions of the fish parts and specify if you need a single or double row setup, as well as the desired cutting width for customization.

Effortless Fish Portioning

The fish portioning machine is designed for simplicity, requiring just a single button to start, making it accessible for beginners. Its enlarged feeding port allows for convenient loading of fish, while the customized discharging device ensures faster output and minimizes residue. Additionally, the tailored discharging table provides space for maintenance and production tools, streamlining the entire fish cutting process for enhanced efficiency.

Durable and Hygienic Design

The fish portioning machine features a sturdy build made from high-quality 304 stainless steel, making it easy to clean and resistant to corrosion. Its IP45 waterproof rating ensures protection against moisture and water, providing peace of mind in food processing environments. For added safety and hygiene, all external controls are centralized, with a single power switch accessible from outside the machine. The removable knife group and easy-access design allow for efficient cleaning and maintenance. Rotating universal wheels facilitate effortless movement of the machine to any desired location, making cleaning and maintenance a breeze. The entire machine can be thoroughly cleaned using a high-pressure water gun, with minimal effort required to wipe it down and let it air-dry afterward.The fish portioning machine features a sturdy build made from high-quality 304 stainless steel, making it easy to clean and resistant to corrosion.
