Trimming Line
The Trimming Line is Mikra’s ergonomic and hygienic trimming solution for onboard processing operations on fishing trawlers, designed to support any number of employees at a fully customizable workstation setup. Featuring lid-up cutting tables and an integrated byproduct dispenser, it delivers a clean, efficient, and well-organized trimming environment that meets the highest hygiene standards, all within a compact footprint that makes it well suited to the confined spaces found onboard fishing vessels.
Efficient and hygienic trimming is a critical step in onboard fish processing, where workspace organization, operator comfort, and sanitary standards are equally important to maintaining product quality and production flow throughout long shifts at sea. The Trimming Line addresses all of these requirements directly, combining a practical and hygienic cutting table design with adjustable standing and sitting platforms that can be raised or lowered to suit each individual operator, reducing physical strain and supporting consistent performance throughout the production day.
Although built on a proven platform, each Trimming Line is fully customizable to suit the specific number of employees, layout requirements, and throughput demands of the vessel it is installed on, ensuring the right configuration is in place for every onboard processing operation.
