The BAADER 208 is a specialized, industrial whitefish filleting machine widely used in the commercial seafood processing industry. Built by the German manufacturer BAADER—a global leader in fish processing technology—the 208 is highly regarded for its robust, stainless-steel construction, making it ideal for both land-based processing factories and on-board vessel installations at sea.
Here is a breakdown of its key specifications, features, and capabilities:
Core Applications & Target Species
The BAADER 208 is explicitly designed to process small, gutted, and headed whitefish and groundfish. Its target species include:
- Hake (such as Merluza Hubbsi, Merluza Capensis, and Merluza Gayi)
- Cod
- Haddock
- Saithe
- Whiting / Alaska Pollack
Key Features
- Self-Adjusting Circular Knives: The machine utilizes spring-loaded circular knives. The cuts are mechanically controlled by the bone thickness and structure of the fish itself, ensuring clean cuts, high-quality single fillets (with skin), and optimal meat yield.
- Belly Cavity Cleaning: It features high-efficiency removal of the black skin typically found inside the belly cavity of whitefish.
- Species Versatility: BAADER manufactures four distinct sub-versions of the Model 208 to perfectly accommodate the slightly varying bone structures of different hake and whitefish species.
