Processing

The degutting systems from Makelis are made entirely of stainless steel and food-grade plastic materials. Depending on the demand and production requirements, each degutting system is designed and manufactured individually.

The fish are placed in a central basin with water and each side has work stations.
Upon receiving the fish, each worker places the fish in the special nozzle and by pressing a button at knee height, activates the vacuum system. In this way, the entrails are removed from the fish.
Each station has a tap with running water, a sink, a processing bench and a vacuum nozzle.

The system features a belt connected system suitable to receive the fish in a main area and forward them automatically in front of the working areas.
Each side consists of plastic tables with sinks, vacuum nozzles and water taps. The operators receive the fish, then they manually gut the fish with the vacuum nozzle, then washes the fish with the use of the water tap and the sink and in case that they remove pieces with a knife they put them inside the crates with the use of a hole. After the processing is done the operator manually positions the finished fish in the center of the conveying system to automatically forward it outside of the system.

The gutted fish washer is specially designed for the inner and outer cleaning of the gutted fish coming from automatic gutting lines. The machine immerses the products inside cold water and cleans them thoroughly inside and outside with the use of air bubbles inside the tank. The conveyor belt transporting the fish outside of the system has water spray nozzles in order to finally clean the fish before packing.
