Filleting Machine
A Filleting Machine is specialized equipment used in the seafood industry to automatically remove bones and cut fish into fillets. Think of it as an advanced food processing tool that helps workers process fish much faster than doing it by hand. These machines can handle different types of fish and significantly speed up production in seafood processing facilities. Some people might also call it a "fish processing machine" or "automated filleting equipment." The use of these machines shows that a worker has experience in modern seafood processing methods and understands how to operate industrial food processing equipment.
