Status: USED
The Baader 201 is a heavy-duty, industrial fish processing machine specifically designed for filleting large whitefish and red fish (like large cod, saithe, salmon, and tuna). Manufactured by Baader, a global leader in seafood processing automation, it is highly regarded for its precision cuts, high yield, and rugged build suitable for both land-based factories and on-board vessel installations.
Here is a breakdown of its core applications, capabilities, and specifications:
Target Species and Size Range
The Baader 201 is engineered to handle exceptionally large fish that smaller, high-speed lines cannot accommodate. Its typical working ranges include:
- Atlantic Cod: 50 to 120 cm (up to 13 kg)
- Pacific Cod: 54 to 108 cm (up to 13 kg)
- Saithe (Pollock): 60 to 120 cm (up to 12 kg)
- Salmon: Up to 9 kg
- Tuna: ~4.5 to 9 kg
Key Operational Features
- Collar Bone Elimination: The machine excels at producing high-quality standard fillets from headed and gutted fish, specifically removing the collar bone seamlessly.
- Ergonomic Feeding: It features an operator-friendly loading assembly and advanced fish guidance systems that ensure accurate centering before the blades make contact.
- Maximize Yield: It uses large-surface scraping and specialized bone cutters to trim as close to the skeleton as possible, delivering an optimal yield (e.g., up to 45% of skinned fillet from a Pacific cod).
- Processing Speeds: Depending on the setup and product size, it operates in timed cycles at throughput rates of 10, 18, or 20 fish per minute.
