Marel ITM2 Trimming Robot for salmon trimming

Marel’s ITM2 Trimming Robot is suitable for high-value salmon trimming. The company claims the robot can work more quickly, reliably and consistently than a master trimmer working at peak performance, and can do so continuously.

Using advanced vision technology, the ITM2 calculates the most profitable cut configuration based on weight, shape and colour grade parameters before trimming loins, belly sides and fillet surfaces as high speed.

The robot can improve yield by delivering uniform trimming tailored to users’ specifications, with high reliability and throughput. The ITM2 is designed for seamless integration into pre- or post-rigor fillet processing lines.

Implementing Marel Innova yield monitoring software can further increase productivity. By integrating predefined weighing points along the processing line, the Innova software enables processors to monitor the raw material utilisation at each processing step. Furthermore, with an instantaneous overview of productivity and system uptime, the processor can react quickly and keep the line running at maximum efficiency, while also improving traceability.
