Jonsson Peeling Systems

Jonsson peeling systems consists of 2 different products: the Model 60, and the Model 64. While there are many similarities, the main differences are speed and cutting styles. Specific information is described below: Capabilities, Configurations, and Labor Savings.

Capabilities

The Model 60 can operate at two speeds: 4000 shrimp/hour and 5000 shrimp/hour. We recommend the slower speed during the initial training of your operators, and within a week or two the speed can be increased to 5000 shrimp an hour.

Our Jonsson Model 60 systems can peel several different styles: tail-on round, completely peeled and deveined, tail-on butterfly, tail-on western, and EZ-peel.

The Model 64 is a faster, more specialized machine. Capable of peeling either 6000 or 5000 shrimp every hour, it is the least expensive method of peeling high volumes of completely peeled and deveined and EZ-peel shrimp styles.

Configurations

These systems have a modular design which allows processors to add units with ease when their needs increase. Our engineers have designed all aspects of these systems to work together, resulting in maximum productivity and optimum peeling efficiency. We can provide systems in multiple configurations to fit into any space available. Contact us with your needs and we'll engineer a solution.

Labor Savings

Labor expenses tend to increase every year. The unpredictability in wages, benefits, administration costs, training, and even the availability of labor remains an issue for many processors. Managing labor relations from one year to the next is an ever increasing burden on today's managers. Our systems remove a significant portion of this burden, and it also helps you realize a decrease in your fixed costs.

Each peeling station of a Jonsson system should be staffed by an operator and a final inspection analyst. Ask yourself how many hand-peelers are required to peel 5000 pieces in an hour? Eight? Nine? Ten? And these machines do not require breaks or vacations. They are designed to operate all day long!
