Dual Bin Fish Slicing Machine Delivery for Malaysia–Processing Techniques for Slicing Fresh Salmon

In today’s seafood processing landscape, precise salmon slicing is essential for premium products such as sashimi, smoked salmon and poke bowls, where clean cuts and intact marbling determine quality. However, salmon’s soft, oily flesh makes manual slicing tricky, often causing uneven pieces, broken meat and costly waste, plus labour shortages during peak seasons. For consistent, neat salmon slices with preserved texture, choose the VERFOODSOLUTIONS automatic fish slicing machine. It delivers accurate, customize cuts, raises efficiency and meets strict hygiene standards, a reliable tool for salmon processors and commercial kitchens.

For these processing needs, VERFOODSOLUTIONS recommends its fish slicing machine. Its angled blades use a sliding cut action to create smooth, clean slices while helping preserve the surface of the fish.

Recently, a client in Malaysia ordered a dual bin fish slicing machine to process salmon measuring 85*400 mm. The machine cuts the fish into 4.5 mm thick slices at a 45 degree angle.

Let’s take a closer look at this dual bin fish slicing machine:

1. Multiple Models Available

To suit different production requirements, the fish slicing machine is available in both single bin and dual bin configurations. Our Malaysian client selected the dual bin model, which has a processing capacity of up to 200 kg per hour. The single bin version offers a capacity of up to 100 kg per hour.

On the dual bin model, fish fillets are loaded into two separate compartments and processed by the same integrated blade assembly. This coordinated design helps deliver consistent slicing results across both bins while supporting higher throughput.

2. Customizable Slicing Angle

The ideal slicing angle depends on the product and its intended use. For this fish slicing machine, the Malaysian client requested salmon cut diagonally at a 45° angle. We configured the blade assembly to meet this specific requirement, producing the desired bias cut slices.

The slicing angle can also be customized to 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, or 45°, giving processors the flexibility to match the cut to different recipes and processing needs.

3. Customizable Slice Thickness

The client required salmon slices measuring 4.5 mm thick, so we supplied a blade assembly configured for that specification. The blade set is installed on the fish slicing machine before delivery, allowing the client to begin processing once the equipment is set up and ready for operation.

Depending on the product and application, the machine can produce slices from 1.5 to 10 mm thick. The blade assembly typically contains 50 to 100 blades, with the number selected to achieve the required slice thickness.

4. Simultaneous Multi Blade Slicing

To produce slices of consistent thickness while helping keep the fish intact, the fish slicing machine uses a multi blade cutting system. Once the machine is started, the blades move in a synchronized oscillating motion as the feed bin rises gradually. This coordinated action slices the fish fillets evenly and efficiently.

5. Control Panel

The fish slicing machine is equipped with an intuitive control panel featuring English labeled buttons, making it straightforward for operators to learn and use. The controls include Power, Emergency Stop, Start, Jog (manual advance), and Bin Raise/Lower functions.

With clearly labeled controls, operators can manage the machine’s basic functions with ease, including during their first use.

6. Fish Feeding Tray and Fillet Retrieval Tool

The fish slicing machine‘s feed inlet is positioned at the front, while the discharge outlet is located in the middle. Because the feed chute is relatively long, loading delicate fish fillets by hand may cause them to bend, scrape against the chute, or become damaged before slicing. To help protect the fillets during feeding, the machine comes with a dedicated feeding tray. Operators can arrange the fillets on the tray and slide it smoothly into the inlet, making loading more controlled and helping the fish retain its shape.

After slicing, the thin fillets rest across the blades. Removing them by hand can be unsafe because the blades are sharp, and the delicate slices may tear or break during handling. A specialized retrieval tool is included to make this step easier. Position the tool against the blades and slide it sideways to collect the sliced fillets in one movement. This helps reduce direct contact with the blades and makes it easier to remove a batch of slices while keeping them intact.

7. Food Grade Stainless Steel Material

The fish slicing machine is constructed from food grade 304 stainless steel, providing a sturdy frame suited to food processing environments. This material is resistant to rust and deformation under normal operating conditions, helping the machine remain reliable through regular use. Its smooth stainless steel surfaces are also practical for routine cleaning and maintenance.

Using food grade materials is important when processing fish and other foods, as it helps support hygienic production and reduce the risk of contamination from unsuitable materials. Combined with its durable construction, the stainless steel design makes the machine a practical choice for commercial fish processing operations.

8. Swivel Casters and Leveling Feet

The fish slicing machine is fitted with circular base supports that provide a broad contact area with the floor. This helps keep the equipment stable during operation, including on different types of flooring. A stable base is especially useful when the machine is running, as it helps keep the equipment securely positioned for consistent operation.

For added flexibility, the machine also features universal casters. Operators can move it when cleaning the production area, rearranging the workspace, or changing the processing layout. The combination of floor supports and casters offers both stability during use and convenient mobility when the machine needs to be relocated.

9. Accessories

Each fish slicing machine is supplied with a set of essential accessories to support operation and routine maintenance. The standard accessories include blades, screws, and a sharpening stone, giving operators key items needed to keep the machine ready for use and maintain the blades as required.

For this order, the Malaysian client also purchased 140 additional blades as spares. Keeping extra blades on hand can be useful for production sites that process fish regularly, as it provides replacements when needed and helps minimize interruptions associated with blade changes or maintenance.

10. Voltage and Plug Customization

Electrical requirements vary between countries and regions, so the fish slicing machine can be configured to suit the customer’s local power supply. For the Malaysian client, we customized the equipment for a 240 V, 50 Hz, single phase supply and fitted it with a plug suitable for local requirements. This configuration helps the machine connect to the customer’s electrical system once it has been correctly installed.

We can also customize voltage, frequency, and plug types for customers in other markets, subject to the machine’s specifications and local requirements. This allows buyers to select equipment that is better suited to their facility and regional electrical standards.

11. Test Before Delivery

Before the fish slicing machine leaves our factory, our technical team carries out a series of thorough inspections and operational tests. We check that the machine runs properly and performs reliably, and only approve it for shipment after confirming that it is functioning as expected.

12. Packing

The fish slicing machine is prepared for export using a protective, multi-step packing process. First, the entire unit is wrapped in waterproof stretch film to help keep out moisture and dust, protecting the stainless-steel surfaces and precision components. The machine is then placed in a sturdy wooden crate and secured with wire to help prevent movement and reduce the risk of damage from bumps or impacts during transit.

Fish is a versatile ingredient enjoyed in cuisines around the world, with countless ways to prepare and serve it. As food processing technology continues to advance, fish slicing machines have become valuable equipment for businesses that need to prepare fish efficiently and consistently. From restaurants and hotels to commercial seafood processors, these machines help operators produce uniform slices and portions while reducing the time and effort required for manual cutting.
