Excellent results in tests conducted at a fish processing plant in Mallorca with fresh Mediterranean fish.
Cruells Talleres SL expands its range of equipment for the fishing sector with the launch of a new manual pneumatic scaler, specifically designed to work with firm-fleshed species such as sea bream, sea bass, and other Mediterranean fish.
The equipment has been designed for processing fresh, non-frozen fish, offering excellent performance in scale removal without damaging the skin or altering the product’s texture. Thanks to its ergonomic and lightweight design, it allows for comfortable and safe handling in intensive work environments.

Following these trials, the Mallorcan company has acquired an initial batch of units to incorporate into its production line.
The pneumatic system ensures smooth and constant operation, reducing operator effort and increasing productivity. Manufactured entirely in stainless steel, the scaler complies with international hygiene and food safety standards, making it ideal for both processing plants and artisanal workshops.
