HSYL-FC500 Automatic Fresh Fish Cutting & Portioning Machine

Executive Summary

The HSYL-FC500 Automatic Fresh Fish Cutting Machine provides a continuous mechanical portioning solution designed for high-volume aquatic processing facilities. By replacing manual cleaver operations with a synchronized conveyor and rotary blade system, this equipment eliminates irregular steak dimensions, mitigates physical cellular tearing, and enforces strict HACCP sanitary protocols. It serves as a primary processing node for facilities requiring exact weight and length standardization before canning, freezing, or retail packaging.

• Throughput Capacity: Processes between 800 and 1200 kg per hour, maintaining consistent output yields regardless of operator fatigue.
• Dimensional Precision: Utilizes a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to configure exact cutting lengths ranging from 15 mm to 100 mm with a ±1 mm tolerance margin.
• Sanitary Compliance: Constructed entirely from SUS304 food-grade stainless steel with IP65-rated electrical enclosures to withstand aggressive daily chemical washdowns.

Technical Specifications

Core Features & Advantages

• Kinematic Blade Synchronization (Yield Optimization): Features a high-tensile rotary circular blade that synchronizes precisely with the conveyor advance rate. This prevents the dragging or tearing of the dermal layer and underlying connective tissue, ensuring a clean, perpendicular cut through both flesh and bone.
• Dynamic Hold-Down Mechanism (Operational Stability): Engineered with an overhead pneumatic compression belt that automatically adjusts to the variable contours of whole fish. This mechanism secures the raw material firmly against the primary conveyor during the cutting stroke, preventing lateral shift and ensuring consistent steak thickness.
• Hygienic Washdown Architecture (Sanitation & OSHA Compliance): The 320 kg open-frame chassis is devoid of blind structural corners. Designed with sloped drainage planes and isolated, hermetically sealed mechanical housings, the unit accelerates sanitation shifts and prevents organic matter accumulation.
• Modular Line Integration (Seamless Material Flow): With standardized 850 mm discharge heights, the HSYL-FC500 eliminates intermediate manual handling. It feeds cut segments directly onto automated grading belts or connects fluidly into broader fish & seafood processing machinery layouts for subsequent battering, breading, or IQF processing.

Working Principle & Structural Design

The operational framework of the HSYL-FC500 relies on precise electromechanical coordination between the feeding matrix and the active cutting zone. Raw or chilled fish (typically held between -2°C and 4°C to maintain muscle firmness) are manually placed laterally across the infeed conveyor. A secondary overhead belt engages the product, applying targeted downward pneumatic pressure to stabilize the fish against the primary drive belt.

As the secured material passes into the cutting chamber, a heavy-duty rotary blade driven by a 2.2 kW 3-phase induction motor strikes the fish at micro-calculated intervals. The strike frequency is managed by an integrated Omron PLC and VFD system, which dictates the final portion length. An internal water manifold continuously flushes the blade assembly during rotation to dissipate kinetic friction heat, prevent protein coagulation on the steel, and wash bone particulate into the lower collection trough.

Industry Use Cases & Integrated Solutions

In mid-to-large scale canning operations dealing with species such as mackerel, salmon, or tilapia, the HSYL-FC500 delivers immediate geometric uniformity. When set to a continuous 30 mm cut length on slightly chilled raw material, a single unit can sustain a processing volume of 1000 kg per hour. This output easily replaces the manual labor of 5 to 7 personnel while reducing end-piece waste by approximately 8%.

Because the unit severs bone-in sections without structural fracturing, it is exceptionally suited for high-end retail steak production. In a Turnkey operational environment, the equipment interfaces directly with downstream dynamic checkweighers to automatically divert off-weight tail segments, ensuring only perfectly portioned center-cuts proceed to vacuum packaging lines.
