DEF

A safe and fast method of cutting fish into specific portions with a fine, high-pressure jet of water.

CONT

The use of waterjet cutting provides the fish processor with major advantages. There is minimal waste because of the highly accurate pin bone cut that can be achieved and the process also optimises the shape of the final fillet. Waterjet cutting also permits cutting of the fillet with its skin on, speeding up the process and increasing its labour efficiency with reduced manual input.

CONT

La découpe haute pression au jet d'eau. Le centre de découpe au jet d'eau haute pression comprime l'eau jusqu'à une pression de 4 000 bar. Ainsi l'énergie potentielle emmagasinée est transformée et libérée en énergie cinétique. Le fluide est éjecté à travers une buse à une vitesse de 800m/s pour une pression de 3 000 bar. À cette pression, divers matériaux et composites, de différente épaisseur et densité peuvent être aisément découpés et séparés.
