Description
For sale: a fully overhauled Kronborg Mark 5 Fish gutting machine – a proven and reliable gutting machine designed for continuous, high-throughput processing of whitefish, both onboard trawlers and in land-based processing facilities. Compact in size and straightforward to operate, it is an ideal solution for coastal fleet vessels and shore plants looking for dependable gutting performance without the footprint of larger industrial equipment.
The Mark 5 stands out for its exceptional species versatility – it handles a wide range of whitefish including cod, saithe, haddock, whiting, hake, red cod, blue cod, southern hake, merluza, southern blue whiting, Alaska pollock, hoki, and similar species. For operations that process varied catches, this eliminates the need for multiple machines. The machine also benefits from a well-established support ecosystem: Kronborg (now Carsoe), the original manufacturer, provides dedicated video maintenance guides for the Mark 5, and original spare parts kits are readily available – making self-service straightforward even when far from port.
Functional Details, Key Features & Advantages:
Fish are fed continuously into the feeding chamber, where a conveyor belt with catches transports them through a positional system of guiding plates into the gutting chamber. A rotating knife performs the cut, after which the fish pass through a Turbo-jet nylon brush system combined with water sprays to remove remaining entrails. The gutted fish are then directed to the outlet for further transportation.
Key features of the Kronborg Mark 5 include:
1. Improved Turbo-jet brush system for thorough entrail removal.
2. Handle for adjusting the preset gutting length forward and back in the fish.
3. Central lubrication system for simplified maintenance.
4. Adjustable legs for flexible installation.
5. CE safety marking, reducing labor insurance liability.
6. Built from polished stainless steel and FDA-approved materials.
Compared to earlier Kronborg models, the Mark 5 introduced the Turbo-jet brush system and central lubrication – both representing meaningful improvements in cleaning quality and ease of upkeep. The Mark 5 technology was also used as the foundation for the Mark 7, confirming its role as the established platform in the Kronborg gutting machine lineup.
