Automatic Fish Filleting Machine​

1️⃣ Overview

🐟The Automatic Fish Filleting Machine is designed for high-efficiency processing of various fish species, including salmon, tilapia, cod, pangasius, and mackerel. It automates scaling, gutting, filleting, and trimming, producing uniform fish fillets with minimal waste.

Key Advantages:

• High automation and consistent output

• Reduces manual labor and processing time

• Produces uniform, boneless fillets suitable for freezing, packaging, or further processing

• Hygienic design compliant with international food safety standards

2️⃣ Main Features

• High Automation ⚡

  • PLC or touch-screen control for easy operation

  • Automated feeding, scaling, gutting, filleting, and trimming

• Versatile Application 🌈

  • Suitable for salmon, tilapia, cod, pangasius, mackerel, and other medium to large fish

  • Adjustable fillet thickness and trimming length

• Hygienic Construction 🛡

  • Stainless steel SS304/316 contact parts

  • CIP (Cleaning-in-Place) compatible

  • Smooth surfaces reduce bacterial growth

• Efficient Production 🚀

  • High processing speed: 300–1200 fish/hour depending on model

  • Minimal fillet loss, ensuring higher yield

• Safety & User-Friendly 👨‍🍳

  • Safety guards and emergency stop functions

  • Simple blade replacement and maintenance

3️⃣ Working Principle

1. Fish Feeding & Alignment 🐟

   • Fish are loaded automatically or manually into the machine.

   • Positioning system ensures proper orientation for consistent filleting.

2. Scaling & Gutting 🔪

   • Mechanical scalers remove fish scales efficiently.

   • Automatic gutting module removes intestines and internal organs.

3. Filleting 🐠

   • Dual- or single-blade filleting system separates fillets from bones precisely.

   • Adjustable blade settings allow different fillet thickness.

4. Trimming & Collection 📤

   • Trim excess edges for uniform fillet shape.

   • Fillets collected in trays, conveyor belts, or directly fed into freezing lines.

✅ Advantages of this workflow:

• Continuous, automated filleting

• Uniform fillet size and thickness

• Reduced manual labor and risk of injury

• High throughput and minimal product loss

4️⃣ Technical Parameters

✅ Optional Modules:

• Automatic fish feeding conveyor

• Skinning module for skin-on fillets

• Adjustable trimming system

• Sorting and grading module

• Inline washing or chilling system

5️⃣ Applications

• Fish processing factories

• Frozen fish production lines

• Seafood central kitchens and catering

• Ready-to-cook fish fillet producers

• Export-oriented fish filleting plants

Suitable Products:
🐟 Salmon Fillets | 🐟 Tilapia Fillets | 🐟 Cod Fillets | 🐟 Pangasius Fillets | 🐟 Mackerel Fillets

6️⃣ Operational Benefits & ROI

• Labor Saving: Reduces manual filleting and trimming significantly

• Consistent Quality: Uniform fillets, reduced bone remnants

• Food Safety: Stainless steel construction, easy cleaning, and hygiene compliance

• High ROI: Increased throughput and minimized product loss, payback period typically 1–2 years

7️⃣ Future Trends

• Smart fish processing lines with IoT monitoring for throughput, blade wear, and motor load

• Integration with automatic washing, chilling, and packaging systems

• Energy-efficient motors and low-noise operation

• Modular design for multi-size fish and mixed species processing

✅ Conclusion

The Automatic Fish Filleting Machine offers a fast, hygienic, and precise solution for industrial-scale fish processing. Its high automation, modular design, and compliance with international food safety standards make it ideal for manufacturers aiming to maximize production efficiency, maintain fillet quality, and reduce labor costs.
