Mastering the Art of Filleting

We watched human hand filleting pros to see how finely and precisely they separate the fillet from the main bone by hand. Then the challenge was to do it as well - or better.

The BAADER 581 Pro is the latest innovation in the filleting section from BAADER. It represents probably the most powerful and advanced filleting machine in the world.

These in-depth studies resulted in the development of the BAADER 581 Pro’s most innovative optional feature: the dynamic back knife.

The optional dynamic back knife offers outstanding possibilities for increasing the yield of the fillet and makes BAADER 581 Pro a yield winner. Depending on the fish's anatomy, the knives are automatically adapting to the upper back area of every single salmonid leaving as little flesh on the frame as a hand filleter would. Very narrow in the tail section but opening up to the wider backbones in the neck area. The result changes the common understanding of yield expectations for machine filleting.

The new layout of the BAADER 581 Pro has a 20% smaller footprint compared to its predecessor by streamlining the housing. The recently designed housing also reduces processing noise for a quieter production atmosphere.

It features individual fish measurement, offering operational flexibility for a wide range of fish species and different kinds of conditions.

Optimizing Output: How the BAADER 581 Pro came into being

Then the challenge was to do it as well – or even better”, says Mirko Pagels, who led the R&D team for the BAADER 581 Pro. “Depending on the fish’s anatomy, the knife is automatically adapted to the backbone. Individually, for every single fish.”
