Description
The Marel I-Cut 11 is a single-lane intelligent portion cutter for cutting fresh, boneless salmon and whitefish into portions of fixed weight or fixed length. A servo-driven blade cuts the product at a 90° angle, while a laser vision system measures each piece in real time. So the machine places every cut for the target weight with minimal giveaway.
Two qualities set the I-Cut 11 apart from larger portioning machines and make it the model buyers choose for this role:
• The smallest footprint of any portion cutter in class.
At roughly 2700 × 1000 mm, it fits into compact plant layouts where dual-lane machines will not. And slots easily into an existing line or works as a dedicated unit for a single product stream.
• The most accessible entry point into Marel portioning.
As Marel’s entry-level, single-lane cutter, it is built for smaller processors with straightforward portioning needs. It delivers Marel’s laser-vision accuracy and software platform without the cost, throughput, and complexity of the larger dual-lane I-Cut models.
This particular machine was manufactured in 2015 and is offered in like-new condition. NorMar purchases, refurbishes, and resells fish and food processing equipment, so the unit is supplied inspected and ready for installation. Full technical specifications, additional photographs, and an inspection can be arranged on request.
How the Marel I-Cut 11 Works:
The Marel I-Cut 11 combines a high-power computer with proven servo-motor technology for precise cutting and a long service life. Product is carried on the infeed belt past a laser and camera unit that determines its volume and shape. The servo-driven knife then portions it to the programmed specification, and the cut pieces leave on the outfeed belt.
The laser vision system uses a 200 Hz camera, which is what allows the machine to hold tight portion accuracy and keep raw-material giveaway low. The processing software offers flexible programming and a range of cutting patterns. And it can run standalone or be integrated with other Marel equipment, with cutting programs stored and shared between machines.
Operation is handled through a new-generation touchscreen interface that simplifies day-to-day running and programming. The machine is designed for hygienic washdown: the Ropanyl belts are quick release and can be removed without tools for thorough cleaning. Remote service access over Ethernet is available as an option for added up time.
Compared with the earlier-generation I-Cut models it succeeds, the Marel I-Cut 11 introduced a redesigned, more powerful computer, the new-generation touchscreen interface, and the updated laser vision system – improvements aimed at easier operation and tighter cutting accuracy rather than at higher throughput, which remains the domain of the larger dual-lane machines.
