Quick Answer: The CECLE FK-17 engineering & Manufacturing Highlights.

CECLE FK-17 vs. Traditional / Generic Alternative

Where the CECLE FK-17 stands out against manual or generic fish killing machines — measured on the dimensions buyers care about most.

Pressure Consistency

CECLE FK-17The CECLE Fish Killing Machine holds working pressure steady across batches, cutting weak-output rejects.

Inconsistent Contact PressureForce drifts part to part, causing weak seals or incomplete transfer.

Output Speed & Throughput

CECLE FK-17It is tuned for continuous commercial throughput with minimal idle time.

Slow Manual CyclingLoading and cycling depend on operator pace, capping real throughput and raising labor cost.

Operational Mechanism & Drive

CECLE FK-17Its drive removes operator-dependent variation, so output stays consistent.

Manual Lever OperationOutput depends on operator strength and drifts between shifts.

Chassis Rigidity & Vibration Resistance

CECLE FK-17The frame is built rigid to damp vibration and hold alignment under load.

Lightweight Sheet Metal ConstructionProne to chassis flex, frame warping over time, and seal leakage.

Engineering FAQ

What is the mechanical difference between the Open Back and Open Belly models? Can one machine do both?
A: The internal positioning clamps and blade entry travel paths are geometrically distinct: Open Back Model : The infeed guide contours specifically along the fish's dorsal arch to ensure deep slicing along the spine without penetrating the belly wall; Open Belly Model : The internal clamp centers the flanks to slice precisely along the ventral midline; Buying Advice : Spine bone resistance and belly membrane textures differ significantly. To ensure maximum cutting precision and zero burst gallbladders, the internal geometry is factory-locked. We recommend choosing either the dedicated Open Back or Open Belly model based on your menu before placing your order .

Will the blade rupture the gallbladder and leave the meat tasting bitter?
A: No. The standout feature of the FK-17 is its micrometer-calibrated guide rails. The rotary blade slices strictly along the spinal axis, while resilient internal deflectors gently nudge the viscera and gallbladder sac aside, maintaining a gallbladder rupture rate well below 0.1% .

How should I choose between the FK-17 (Vertical Cabinet) and FFK-18 (Conveyor Belt)?
A: Base your choice on kitchen footprint and required daily volume : Choose FK-17 (Vertical Cabinet) : Footprint is only 60 × 60 cm with an output of 7 fish/min. Ideal for compact restaurant kitchens, hotel culinary lines, and supermarket prep rooms needing heavy-duty, clean, enclosed operation; Choose FFK-18 (Conveyor Belt) : Measures 1.6 m in length with an output of up to 3 fish/second. Built for large-scale wholesale fish processing plants and centralized prep commissaries.

What routine maintenance keeps the FK-17 stable for long production runs?
A: Keep the working area clean, verify the rated power/air supply before each shift, and inspect wear parts per the technical manual. Stable input conditions are the main factor in consistent output and long service life.

Which product sizes and formats can the FK-17 handle?
A: The machine is configured for its rated specification range (see Technical Specifications). For formats outside the standard range, CECLE can advise on tooling or model selection.
