Creating quality and yield of every fish!

The TRIO FDS 55 is a high-capacity off-shore skinning machine. It works on the principle that the skin surface freezes on a cold drum. Fillets are skinned without putting any strain on the fish meat or skin, which is particularly advantageous when:

  • Deep skinning
  • Skinning fillets with no natural division between skin and meat, e.g. mackerel
  • Skinning soft fillets, or fillets with weak skin
  • Skinning flatfish with no tail splitting
  • Skinning butterfly fillets, e.g. sardines

The TRIO FDS 55 is designed in a new manner with respect to safety, yield and maintenance.

Benefits

  • High capacity – approx. 300 fillets/min. with conveyor speed up to 0.85 m/s
  • Can be used for different species (e.g. all kinds of white fish, salmon, trout)
  • Easy to adjust the cutting depth
  • Improved coverage and protection of band knife
  • Has a built-in sharpening device for the band knife

Technical Data

  • Fish species
    Salmon, sea trout, wild coho, rainbow trout, Alaska pollock, hake, hoki, cod, saithe/pollock, haddock, herring, mackerel, sardine, catfish, pangasius, tilapia, sea bream, sea bass, flatfish
  • Working range (approx.)
    Unlimited
  • Throughput
    Up to 300 fillets/min.

Features

  • Skinning of portions
  • Good-looking fillets
  • Greater capacity
  • Stable cut
  • Easier maintenance
  • Better result/yield
  • Skin-on/skin-off conveyor
  • Condenser for seawater cooling

High capacity – high throughput

  • Due to the ‘surface freezing’ ,the fillets are firmly positioned and do not shift during skinning – more stability
  • The new knife section ensures a longer life for the band knife and has a built-in sharpening device – fewer stops

High flexibility – maximizing yield

  • Better yield due to improved knife angle, improved knife support, sturdier frame
  • The skinning depth is infinitely adjustable between 0–12 mm
  • Conveyor length and design can be adapted to the customer's process and can be fitted for easy switching between skin-on and skin-off production

Easier maintenance – better safety

  • Easier maintenance due to open design, easier adjustment of knife, Pretension of knife and conveyor being separate from frame

Improved hygiene performance

  • Improved hygiene due to separation of processing area, stainless steel construction, improved enclosure of refrigeration area and better access for washing
