New TRIO FDS 3000 For Whitefish & Salmon
Trio FDS skinning machines have generally been recognised as the best skinning machines for soft fillets and previous frozen fillets. Many thousand machines
are in use skinning hake, merluza, hoki, pollack and previously frozen fish
fillets.
On the new FDS 3000 skinning machine, the fillets are fed with skin side down, on top of the drum. The skin, even on fillets with uneven thickness, are flattened against the cold drum by gravity and mechanical pressure. The skinning result is better than other Trio FDS skinning machines in terms of less skin spots and higher yield.
The new FDS 3000 machine for whitefish is a result of the development of FDS 2000 skinning machine for salmon and the FDS 3000 slicing machine for poultry. These machines have been in operation at major processing plants in Norway, UK, France, Spain and USA for several years.
Many chefs
suggest preparing the fish portions with skin on. Trio FDS skinning machines
can skin individual portions without loss of yield. Mechanical skinning
machines will always take a bit of meat in order to get a grip for pulling the
skin off the fillet. That is lost yield.
The fillets or portions are placed on the conveyor with skin side down. The
fillets are transferred on to a rotating refrigerated drum where the skin of
the fillet “freezes” to the drum. The freezing is very superficial and not
deeper than 1/10mm. A rotating band knife cuts the fillet from the skin and the
skin is scraped off the drum. The band knife separates the skin from the fillet
in a very gentle manner. No strain is put on either the skin or the flesh. The
thickness of the cut or the depth of the skinning, is infinitely adjustable
between 0 - 10 mm.
The machine has an integrated cooling system. The machine can also be supplied
for connection to the main freezing plant, either based on freon or ammonia.
The FDS 3000 is designed on a substantial steel frame made from 18/8 stainless
steel.
All parts that come into contact with the fish fillet are made from stainless
steel
or plastic.
