Baader 142 Salmon Gutting Machine

• Processing plants handling large volumes of salmon and similar fish species.
• Facilities requiring automated gutting to increase throughput and reduce manual labour.
• Operations focused on consistent product quality and hygiene in fish processing.
• Seafood processors aiming to optimise their production lines for efficiency.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 25 to 35 fish per minute, depending on fish size and operator efficiency.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption in the range of 3-5 kW.

Suitable fish sizes

The Baader 142 is designed for salmon, typically handling fish weights from 2 kg to 7 kg, or lengths commonly between 50 cm and 90 cm.

Water consumption

Automated gutting machines commonly use water for cleaning and lubrication, with consumption typically varying based on operation intensity.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the footprint typically requires a dedicated area, with dimensions commonly around 3m long x 1.5m wide x 2m high.

Construction material

Components in contact with product are typically made from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

• What maintenance is typically required for a Baader 142?

  Routine maintenance commonly involves daily cleaning, regular lubrication of moving parts, and periodic inspection and replacement of wear parts such as belts, blades, and seals. A recently serviced unit, as described, suggests these immediate requirements may have been addressed.

• Can this machine be used for other fish species?

• What are the typical installation requirements?

• How does the 'hours from new' affect the machine's lifespan?

• Are spare parts readily available for the Baader 142?

Fish equipment in food processing is generally well-regarded for durability and reliability when maintained properly. Buyers typically value robust construction and ease of cleaning. When purchasing used fish processing equipment, buyers should inspect for corrosion, verify mechanical functionality, and confirm hygiene compliance standards. Common strengths include longevity with proper maintenance, straightforward operation, and cost effectiveness compared to new alternatives. Stainless steel components and established brand reliability are frequently prioritized considerations in the secondhand market.
