Camera-operated fish sorting system for filleting machines
Streamline your fish processing line with a system that optimizes filleting efficiency through advanced image recognition, ensuring precise sorting and quality control for herring and mackerel fillets.

Optimizes and Sorts Fish for Filleting
The Cabinplant Vision System is an innovative camera-operated solution designed for enhancing the filleting process in fish and seafood production lines. By integrating seamlessly with existing Baader or VMK filleting machines, it ensures precise sorting and surveillance of fish infeed, optimizing the conveyor’s pocket distribution to prevent bottlenecks. This system deftly identifies fish species, size, and positioning, using a self-teaching method that allows for continuous operation without the need for manual intervention, reducing the number of operators from one to zero. It is capable of processing herring and mackerel fillets with a throughput of up to 320 trays per minute. Optional features include a dry feeding conveyor for enhanced feeding efficiency. The vision system’s PC-based control supports software upgrades, allowing for flexible adaptability and detailed statistical monitoring of each fish processed. Built for demanding fish processing environments, it offers robust operational reliability and can be customized to fit various production needs, ensuring optimal yield and quality in fish filleting operations.
