“HB Grandi’s purchase of this new system is a step towards automating and implementing new technology in fillet processing, portioning and packaging of whitefish,” explains Óskar Óskarsson, sales director at Marel. “The new FleXicut system is designed to maximize yield and maintain the quality of the raw material.”
FleXicut is designed for processing various whitefish, like cod, saithe, pollock and haddock. It offers a variety of cutting patterns for individual fillets using a combination of cuts according to a range of cutting patterns.
The FleXicut is the centerpiece of the new system. It uses advanced technology to locate and remove the pinbones in whitefish fillets. The introduction of the high level of technology and automation in this process has transformed the very nature of fish processing.
