Professional manufacturer and factory of commercial squid scoring machines. Custom cutting depth, pattern, and belt width for squid, fish fillet, abalone, gizzard. Food-grade stainless steel, high efficiency, stable performance for industrial seafood processing lines.
In modern seafood and meat processing industries, product appearance and consistency play a critical role in market competitiveness. The Commercial Squid Flower Cutting Machine is a specialized industrial food processing solution designed to create uniform decorative cutting patterns—commonly known as “flower cuts”—on squid, fish fillets, and selected meat products.
By precisely cutting decorative patterns on the surface of squid and fish fillets, this machine significantly improves seasoning absorption, cooking performance, and visual appeal. As a result, it is widely used in seafood processing factories, commercial kitchens, central kitchens, and prepared food manufacturers.
Developed by a professional food processing equipment manufacturer factory, this machine replaces labor-intensive manual cutting with automated, standardized, and high-efficiency processing, helping customers reduce labor costs while improving product quality and consistency.

This squid flower cutting machine is designed specifically for commercial and industrial use, ensuring stable performance under long working hours and wet processing environments.
The entire machine is constructed using SUS304 stainless steel, including the frame, blades, and food-contact components. This guarantees:
Excellent corrosion resistance
Easy cleaning and sanitation
Compliance with international food safety standards such as HACCP and GMP
The compact footprint and low power consumption make it suitable for both large-scale factories and medium-sized processing plants.
The machine consists of three main sections:
Feeding Conveyor Belt
High-Speed Cutting Blade Assembly
Discharge Conveyor System
The feeding belt is made from food-grade materials, with customizable widths such as 400 mm, 600 mm, or larger to accommodate different product sizes including squid, fish fillets, and offal.
The working principle follows a continuous and automated process:
Pre-processed squid or fillets are placed onto the feeding conveyor
The product is stabilized during transport to prevent shifting
The cutting blade group performs high-speed decorative cutting
Finished products exit via the discharge conveyor, maintaining shape and appearance
The blade assembly can perform straight cuts, cross cuts, and intersecting cuts, creating diamond or flower-style patterns depending on customer requirements.
One of the key advantages of this machine is its high degree of customization.
Operators can easily adjust:
Cutting depth: 1–10 mm
Pattern spacing: 5–30 mm
Cutting speed
All adjustments are made via stainless steel hand wheels, allowing quick parameter changes for different products.
The machine supports various cutting styles, including:
Straight line pattern
Cross pattern
Diamond pattern
“Wood-grain” decorative cuts
This flexibility enables processors to produce diversified product lines tailored to different markets and cuisines.
Compared with manual cutting, the machine offers outstanding consistency:
Cutting depth deviation controlled within ±0.1 mm
Uniform patterns across all products
Stable cutting quality regardless of operator experience
This ensures standardized output, which is especially important for export-oriented seafood factories and branded prepared food manufacturers.
The squid flower cutting machine dramatically improves processing efficiency:
2,000–3,000 pcs/hour
Productivity equivalent to 15–20 skilled workers
Significant reduction in labor dependency
By automating decorative cutting, factories can maintain stable output even during labor shortages or peak seasons.
The feeding system adopts a soft conveying design, with optional silicone cushioning layers at contact points. This prevents:
Surface bruising
Deformation of soft squid or fish fillets
Excessive compression during processing
As a result, product integrity and yield are maximized.
Food safety is a critical requirement in seafood processing. This machine is designed with hygiene in mind:
Full stainless steel construction
Smooth surfaces with no dead corners
Direct water wash-down cleaning supported
The cutting area is equipped with a spray lubrication and rinsing system, which helps:
Reduce blade friction during operation
Prevent residue buildup
Minimize bacterial growth
All food-contact parts can be easily accessed for routine cleaning and sanitation.
The machine includes comprehensive safety features:
Emergency stop button
Protective blade covers
Stable machine frame to prevent vibration
Operation is simple and intuitive. After brief training, operators can manage cutting parameters and daily maintenance efficiently.
Although designed primarily as a squid flower cutting machine, this equipment is suitable for a wide range of products:
Squid
Fish fillets
Abalone
Chicken gizzard
Duck gizzard
Pork kidney
Other soft meat products
It supports fresh, thawed, and semi-thawed materials, making it highly versatile for commercial food processing lines.
For large-scale factories, this machine can be integrated into complete production lines, connecting with:
Cleaning machines
Conveyors
Weighing systems
Packaging machines
Advanced versions can be equipped with visual recognition systems to automatically detect product size and adjust cutting parameters, enabling intelligent processing.
