Automated excellence in salmon slicing just got faster

The new Multi Angle Slicer MSC 255 from JBT Marel is here, bringing high-throughput, precision slicing to the salmon industry.

Salmon processors everywhere are wrestling with the same challenges: not enough skilled labor, rising operating costs, and customers demanding more product, faster, but without sacrificing quality. Processors need to ensure high throughputs are consistent even with open shifts. The next-generation slicing machine, the Multi Angle Slicer MSC 255, is a high-capacity, multi-angle slicer engineered for processors who need to close that gap.

What is the MSC 255?

The MSC 255 is an automated multi-angle salmon slicer designed to increase throughput on high-volume smoked salmon processing lines. It can cut angles ranging from 8 to 80 degrees, and when set in end-to-end mode and paired with a dynamic packing line, raise output by as much as 10%.

Throughput and flexibility to keep up with demand

Automated systems earn their keep when throughput is consistent. The stop and start of less automated slicers needed to prevent manual packing bottlenecks slows production; the MSC 255 was engineered to keep product moving with increased automation that ensures slicing precision and consistent speeds. When installed with a dynamic packing line, and set in end-to-end mode, stop-start is eliminated and product flows continuously. Because throughput can be kept consistently high, processors can see output climb by roughly 10%, compared to other solutions with manual packing lines.

Having the inbuilt flexibility and ease of control in a slicer is needed to explore new product ranges and keep up with the changing demands of a high-growth ready-to-eat market. The MSC 255 cutting knife adjusts between 8 to 80 degrees, so a single machine can slice thin, angled portions and broader, straighter cuts to meet given customer order requests. And slice angles can be easily changed via an intuitive user interface, with minimal training required for safe and efficient operation.

Precision that protects yield

Every cut of salmon risks yield loss. Uneven or oversized slices downgrade product quality and reduce profits. The MSC 255 uses a unique rotating cutting-block to hold the angle and knife steady increasing precision that keeps slices consistent and reduces giveaway. This level of reliable accuracy in every cut results in better yields, over every production run.

Stable production with higher uptime

Software is a critical tool in today's salmon industry. It connects processors to their operational data in real-time. This insight over production enables decision making that is based on data, rather than on gut feel. The MSC 255 is ready to connect to JBT Marel Software, and ensure your data is working for you. Machine health monitoring through AXIN Machine Solutions helps prevent unexpected downtimes, and makes sure your investment runs at its optimum.

Hygiene built into the design

Sanitation and high-hygiene standards are ingrained into salmon processing facilities. Having equipment that is hard to clean creates a contamination risk and slows down changeovers or end of shift handovers. The MSC 255 was designed with hygiene as a starting point:

  • Open, accessible surfaces
  • Full cleaning of turn plate possible
  • Roller designed with fewer parts
  • Hygienic belt design

Providing processors with a slicing machine that reduces cleaning time while supporting the highest standards of hygiene.

The pressure to produce more with less isn't going away. The latest addition to our salmon slicing portfolio, the MSC 255 is ready to provide salmon processors with a slicing solution that raises throughput, protects yield, and keeps lines flexible - helping your team produce more from the same raw material with greater efficiency.
