Description
Baader 988 Fish Trimming Machine
A fully refurbished Baader 988 manufactured in 2010 offers processors a dependable automated trimming solution for salmon and trout fillets. This restored unit includes renewed mechanical assemblies, serviced electronics, recalibrated vision components and verified cutting accuracy, making it suitable for plants that require stable performance without the cost and waiting period of a new machine.
BAADER 988 was originally designed to reduce manual trimming stages, stabilize yield variation and introduce controlled, repeatable trimming parameters across multiple shifts. A refurbished machine preserves these advantages while providing a practical upgrade path for facilities currently relying on manual stations or older-generation trimmers.
The trimming process is based on a camera-driven decision system that scan fillet dimensions, thickness profile, orientation and colour characteristics, then selects the appropriate trim pattern for belly, back and surface corrections. This allows the machine to maintain consistent cut geometry and reduces dependence on operator judgment.
Baader 988 supports on-line recipe adjustments, predefined trimming profiles, melanin-spot detection and automatic signal output to downstream graders or conveyors. The open chassis design simplifies access for cleaning, blade replacement and routine maintenance, and the CIP-ready preparation ensures compatibility with industrial sanitation procedures.
Compared to earlier solutions without integrated vision control, Baader 988 provides more predictable trim weight, narrower tolerance ranges and fewer manual interventions during peak load periods.
