Cutting and trimming

Cutting and trimming cover a number of processes to cut up various food products into smaller pieces, or to selectively remove unwanted product parts. These processes include cutting, debyssing, declustering, gilling, manual, skinning, snipping and strigging.

Cutting

Cutting comprises the cutting of food products into different sizes or shapes, as well as nobbing, i.e. removing of head and gut from fatty fish such as sardines. This is made by partially severing the head from the fish body and pulling it away together with the attached gut; the roe or milt is left in.

Debyssing

Byssus are the threads by which mussels attach themselves to the sea bed. The debyssing process using a debyssing machine is the removal of these threads from the mussel meat, once the mussel has been removed from its shell.

Declustering

Declustering is the automatic removal of the clusters of mechanically harvested beans, using a bean cluster cutter.

De-stalking

De-stalking is the removal of stalks and calyx from berries and fruits. Cabinplant can provide different solutions for this process.

Gilling

Gilling is part of the cleaning process of fish, where the gills are removed. Matjes herring, a speciality of Holland and Germany, are gilled herring, which are matured in salt, vinegar, sugar and spices. The gilling improves the flavouring process and prevents the fish from decaying whilst maturing. Cabinplant can provide a unique gilling machine, which eliminates manual work and increases production speed.    

Skinning

Skinning is the removal of skin as preparation for consumption of the meat beneath. Cabinplant provides a lye peeling system for removal of skin from mackerel prior to cooking and canning.  

Snipping

Snipping is the automatic removal of both ends of mechanically harvested beans, using a bean snipper.
