Overview of automatic fish processing production lines that integrate descaling, belly opening, gutting, and fish body cleaning in one efficient workflow.

Automatic Fish Processing Line: Descaling, Gutting and Washing Integration

The fully automatic fish processing machine integrates the functions of descaling, belly opening, gutting, and fish body cleaning. It can process silver carp, bream, grass carp, black carp, carp, salmon, mandarin fish, tilapia, sea bass, mackerel, and many other fish species. Fish scales are removed cleanly without damaging the skin or fins, maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the fish without affecting its cooking quality.

Working Principle

The operator places fish from the work table into the feed inlet in an orderly manner. Internal rolling shafts automatically convey the fish forward. During conveyance, the lower cutting tool opens the fish belly and extracts the internal organs. The fish is then conveyed to the front roller-style rotating groove for scale removal. During the rolling process, a high-pressure spray system above the groove washes away the removed scales and organs. Finally, the fish is discharged via the conveyor belt. The processed fish is clean and scale-free, with all internal organs and black membrane removed, ready for the next processing step.
