How does a deheader optimize salmon filleting?

The Deheader MS 3028 was developed to help processors increase product yield, reduce labor dependency, and streamline operations.

At the heart of this solution is high-accuracy, clean cutting. A key element in minimizing waste and improving overall filleting results. Two precision knives perform a V-cut and a third knife makes a straight cut across the spine optimizing the cut quality. Processing up to 22 fish per minute, the deheader optimizes fillet values and increases throughput and uptime. A single operator places each fish onto the eye pin, ensuring cuts are measured from the eye. This automated measurement and adjustment provides accurate deheading for salmon between 1.5 - 10 kg in size.

As salmon processor Hofseth recently discovered when they replaced their old deheader with the MS 3028, the accurate, clean cuts of the new machine made an instant difference in yield, throughput and quality.

Designed with practicality in mind, the compact footprint allows the MS 3028 to integrate easily into any processing line to ensure even processors with minimal space can add value to their production. While its robust design ensures reliability and low maintenance even in the tough environment of salmon processing.

In addition to improving yield, the deheader helps optimize production flow and uptime. For processors looking to scale efficiency even further, when integrated with the Filleting Machines MS 2730 or MS 2750, each deheaded fish is seamlessly transferred to the infeed with no need for manual handling.

By reducing labor dependency and boosting throughput, the Deheader MS 3028 is not just another machine, it’s an investment in a sustainable and profitable salmon filleting line.
