The fish meat separator, also known as a fish meat deboner, surimi extractor, shrimp shell separator, fish bone remover, loach meat extractor, or fish spine remover, operates on the principle of extrusion to separate fish meat from bones and other parts. Before extracting the meat, live fish must be headed and gutted.

This machine mainly consists of an electric motor, scraper blade, tensioning device, transmission system, conveyor belt, fish bone discharge outlet, surimi discharge outlet, working drum, and fresh fish feed inlet. Small or medium-sized fish can be directly fed after gutting, while larger fish need to be headed, tailed, and cut into pieces before input. Through a low-speed, high-density stainless steel sieve drum and conveyor belt, the fish is pressed to separate bones, spines, skin, and scales, extracting clean surimi. Equipped with a gearbox or reducer, it ensures high torque, stable low-speed operation without temperature rise. The entire machine is made of stainless steel, meeting hygiene standards, easy to clean, and efficiently produces surimi, saving manual labor in meat extraction. It enhances the economic value of various low-value fish and reduces the tediousness of manual scraping, making it an ideal equipment for coastal areas processing fish products.

The meat extracted by the fish meat deboner can be processed into products such as fish balls, fish sausages, and ham. The aquatic products processed by the fish bone remover are well-received in the market by consumers. Meanwhile, the low-cost operation of the fish meat deboner brings substantial economic benefits to enterprises.

This fish meat deboner is suitable for various workshops and fish product processing factories producing fish balls, commonly used in regions like Guangxi, Hubei, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangsu, and Guangdong. In addition to extracting freshwater fish meat, it can also process sea fish, shrimp, crab, loach, etc. It offers higher efficiency, lower cost, and better hygiene compared to manual meat extraction, making it one of the essential preliminary processing equipment for surimi products.
