Marel FleXicut fish processor

Marel FleXicut removes pinbones in whitefish and can also divide the loin, cut the belly flap or tail and portion the fish to user specifications. The uniform, precision-cut products it produces are then distributed into up to eight product streams using the FleXisort product distribution system.

A pre-trim line further automates this previously manual labour-intensive process and Marel is now trialling a virtually hands-free line — from pre-trim all the way through to end-of-line, including final packing — which will raise product quality yet again.

Innova Food Processing Software brings all the vital data directly to managers in real time so that they can better control the flow to avoid any buffer problems. With FleXicut at the heart of the system, this means that the whole production process can be managed and optimised: controlling the distribution of raw material coming in and controlling production based on product orders.
