Baader 429 Heading Machine

• Processing whitefish and redfish in medium to large-scale operations.
• Preparing fish for further processing such as filleting or gutting.
• Use in fish processing plants, aquaculture facilities, and seafood factories.
• Integration into automated fish processing lines.

Typical throughput

Units of this class commonly process several thousand fish per hour, depending on fish size and operator efficiency.

Suitable fish size range

For this model, the stated range is 30cm-110cm, making it suitable for a variety of medium to large fish.

Heading type

This unit performs a straight cut heading, which is common for preparing fish for subsequent processing stages.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase industrial electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz for UK operations.

Construction material

Machinery of this type is predominantly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in wet environments.

Footprint

While specific dimensions vary, heading machines typically require a dedicated floor area of approximately 2-3 square metres, plus space for operator access and material handling.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, and inspection of blades and belts are standard for maintaining operational efficiency and hygiene.
