Marel IPM3 X400 Portion Cutter

• Precision portioning of fish fillets and other seafood products in processing plants.
• Standardisation of product weight for retail packaging and catering.
• Optimising yield and reducing giveaway in high-volume production environments.
• Processing various fish species, including salmon, cod, haddock, and pollock.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 100 to 250 portions per minute, depending on product size and complexity of cut.

Portion accuracy

Units of this type commonly offer high portion accuracy, often within +/- 1-2 grams, utilising advanced weighing and cutting technologies.

Product dimensions

Suitable for processing products with typical widths up to 400mm, as indicated by the 'X400' in the model name.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with an appropriate power rating for industrial use.

Construction material

Control system

Units like this feature integrated control systems, often with touchscreen interfaces, for programming cutting patterns and monitoring performance.

• What is a laser eye weigher?

  A laser eye weigher uses laser technology to accurately measure the dimensions and weight of a product before it is cut. This data is then used by the portion cutter to achieve precise weight targets and optimise yield.

• What kind of maintenance is typically required for a portion cutter?

• Can this machine handle different types of fish?

• What are the benefits of using an automated portion cutter?

• Is training required to operate this equipment?

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.
