Baader 140 Trout Gutting Machine

• Used in fish processing plants for efficient removal of internal organs from trout.
• Suitable for aquaculture operations looking to streamline post-harvest processing.
• Utilised by seafood distributors and wholesalers requiring consistent product preparation.
• Applicable in facilities processing fresh or farmed trout for retail or catering markets.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 30 to 50 fish per minute, depending on fish size and operator efficiency.

Suitable fish size range

Units of this type are typically designed to process trout from approximately 180g up to 650g, though specific tray sizes determine the exact range.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption of around 2-5 kW, including the vacuum system.

Materials of construction

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in wet environments.

Footprint

A Baader 140 typically requires a floor space of approximately 2.5m x 1.5m, plus space for operator access and ancillary equipment like the vacuum tank.

Water consumption

Units of this type require a continuous supply of clean water for rinsing and cleaning, with consumption varying based on operational settings.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, and inspection of wear components are typically required to maintain optimal performance.

• What kind of maintenance does a Baader 140 typically require?

  Routine maintenance typically involves daily cleaning, checking and replacing wear parts like belts and blades, and ensuring the vacuum system is functioning correctly. A servicing schedule, often every 500-1000 operating hours, is common for thorough inspections.
