Marel relaunches QC Scanner MS 2920 for salmon processing

Marel announces the relaunch of their upgraded QC Scanner MS 2920 with advanced features that bring greater precision, efficiency, and automation to salmon fillet processing. With this advanced solution, your salmon processing can be optimized by automating key inspection tasks and ensuring top-quality fillets with minimal manual handling.

Real-time quality scanning and data collection
The new QC Scanner MS 2920 is designed to provide real-time quality scanning of salmon fillets. It meticulously inspects the surface of each fillet for defects, such as dark spots, cartilage, and gaping. The scanner measures color and calculates weight, offering comprehensive insights into fillet quality. By doing so, it ensures that only fillets meeting exact standards move forward in the process.

The upgraded QC Scanner also replaces traditional operator monitoring with automated real-time scanning. This not only minimizes manual handling but also reduces human error, ensuring consistent and reliable results.

Optimized trimming efficiency
When placed before the trimming line, the QC Scanner MS 2920 plays a crucial role in optimizing trimming processes. It identifies fillets that require additional trimming and directs them accordingly, while allowing fillets that are already up to standard to pass through untouched. This approach minimizes unnecessary trimming, reducing yield loss and enhancing overall efficiency.



Enhanced sorting capabilities
After the trimming line, the QC Scanner MS 2920 excels in sorting fillets by quality, color, or weight. It directs fillets to specific outfeed channels where drop-down gates sort them based on predefined parameters. This feature allows for precise sorting and ensures that your final product meets the desired specifications.

Data-driven insights
With the QC Scanner MS 2920, you gain valuable data collection capabilities for both upstream and downstream reporting. This data can be used to refine processes, enhance product quality, and make informed decisions based on comprehensive quality metrics.




Streamlined manitenance and cleaning
The QC Scanner MS 2920 features an improved hygienic design developed in close collaboration with customers to enhance cleaning and maintenance. Additionally, its hygienic, easy-to-clean design supports operational efficiency. It incorporates homogeneous belts and a drum motor with an enclosed gear and encoder, ensuring durability and reliability. The detachable and slidable belt ends, along with removable and adjustable infeed guides, make it easier to maintain optimal hygiene standards. Additionally, new sealings further enhance cleanliness, while a redesign has led to an approximate 50% reduction in the number of parts in critical sections, simplifying maintenance and improving overall efficiency.

Transform your salmon processing
We are proud to offer a solution that brings unparalleled precision and efficiency to fillet processing operations. The QC Scanner MS 2920 is designed to meet the evolving needs of the industry, helping to achieve higher quality standards, optimize processing, and maximize yield.
