ITM2 Trimming Robot

Overview

The ITM2 Trimming Robot is the redesigned, second generation of Marels automatic trimming machines.

Designed to trim salmon fillets automatically, the ITM2 Trimming Robot is the ideal solution for high-value trimming of fillets into pre-defined trim categories. With it‘s advanced color vision technology it automatically evaluates each fillet before trimming and calculates the most economic cut configuration based on weight, shape, and/or colour grade. This ensures a high precision cut and makes the entire process efficient and productive, from measuring to trimming.

The main benefit of an ITM2 Trimming Robot compared to conventional manual trimming, is that the ITM2 will do what the master trimmer does when working at peak performance – but it does it at all times. Further the ITM2 Trimming Robot will deliver uniform and consistent trimming, also during longer processing periods. At the end of the day this will have positive impact on the yield, as the machine delivers uniform and consistent utilization.

The main payback factors when using an ITM2 Trimming Robot compared to manual trimming are:

  • Consistent quality and yield
  • Reduced labor cost
  • High reliability

The ITM2 Trimming Robot is designed as a part of an integrated Marel salmon fillet processing solution that includes a filleting machine, pre- and post trim, followed by a packing grader. Combined with Marels INNOVA yield monitoring software, the integrated salmon processing system is extremely powerful. It offers a new dimension of managing yields and production value. By carefully monitoring the raw material utilization in each processing step, the processor is able to optimise yields, taking both utilisation and quality in to account, as well as it gives real-time overview of productivity and „uptime“ of the system.
