Carnitech 2615.20 Pinbone Remover

• Removing pinbones from various fish species, particularly salmon and trout fillets.
• Processing fish fillets in medium to large-scale seafood processing plants.
• Preparing fish for further processing steps such as portioning, smoking, or packaging.
• Improving product quality and yield by efficiently extracting bones without damaging the fillet.

Typical capacity

For this class of twin-lane, four-head pinbone remover, throughput can typically range from 20 to 40 fillets per minute, depending on fish size and operator efficiency.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption in the range of 2-5 kW.

Water consumption

Pinbone removers typically use a continuous water supply for cleaning and lubrication, often requiring 5-10 litres per minute.

Air consumption

Pneumatic components, if present, commonly require a compressed air supply at 6-8 bar, with consumption varying based on operation.

Dimensions (approximate)

A twin-lane machine of this type typically has a footprint of approximately 1500-2000 mm in length, 800-1200 mm in width, and 1200-1600 mm in height.

Construction material

Machinery for food processing, including pinbone removers, is typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Suitable fish species

These machines are commonly optimised for species such as salmon, trout, and other fish with similar bone structures.

Operating principle

Units of this type typically use rotating heads with vacuum assistance to gently pull pinbones from the fillet.

• What maintenance is typically required for a pinbone remover?

  Routine maintenance commonly involves daily cleaning, inspection of belts and rotating parts, and periodic replacement of wear parts such as brushes, rollers, and seals. Lubrication of moving components is also essential.

• Can this machine process different sizes of fish fillets?

• Is a vacuum pump and tank essential for operation?

• What are the typical safety features on such equipment?

• What is the expected lifespan of a used pinbone remover?

• Are spare parts readily available for Carnitech equipment?

Deboning machines are valued for improving processing efficiency and reducing labour costs in meat and poultry operations. Buyers typically prioritise machines with robust construction, reliable cutting mechanisms, and ease of cleaning for food safety compliance. When purchasing used equipment, inspectors should examine blade condition, motor performance, and overall structural integrity. Industry sentiment favours models with straightforward maintenance requirements and good spare parts availability. Consistent performance and durability make these machines a worthwhile investment for facilities seeking to streamline production workflows.
