Product Information
The HAVFRONT Loppa 100 is the world’s most compact machine specifically designed for heading and gutting fish onboard vessels. This innovative and user-friendly machine enhances the efficiency of fish processing, making it an ideal solution for coastal fishing vessels from 9 meters, as well as larger sea-going vessels. Designed to handle mixed whitefish, the Loppa 100 is a reliable, efficient alternative to manual gutting and heading.
Capable of processing fish weighing between 1 and 12 kilograms the Loppa 100 offers a simple yet robust design, perfect for vessels looking to improve workflow and reduce labor-intensive tasks. The machine allows for quick and precise fish positioning, belly down between centering plates, with the bleed cut aligned over the transverse shaft. The cycle is activated by the user, during which the fish is headed and gutted. There is stepless adjustment for the heading angle and the length of the gut cut.
The HAVFRONT Loppa 100 is highly efficient, low-maintenance, and designed for long-lasting use, making it a cost-effective investment for vessels focused on improving productivity while minimizing manual labor.

Product Information
Advanced, digital automation of fish heading and gutting
HAVFRONT FOLLA is a fully electric, digital machine designed for precise, gentle, and efficient gutting and heading of whitefish. With advanced technology and high precision, FOLLA ensures optimal raw material utilization, preserving roe and liver intact – adding value to the final product.
The machine reduces the need for heavy manual labor and increases productivity in the production line while delivering consistent, high-quality results. With HAVFRONT FOLLA, you get a reliable, modern solution that optimizes the process and ensures the best possible utilization of raw materials.
Pre-treatment
The fish is pre-treated with a deep throat cut, and the bleeding cut is part of the machine’s reference system. For the best results, the fish should be bled out in cold, running water for at least 20 minutes before further processing.
Adapts to the size of each fish
Advanced sensor-based measuring automatically adjusts to each fish’s size, guaranteeing optimal precision for every cut.
Precise and uniform cuts
Delivers consistently accurate cuts that improve product quality and minimize raw material loss.
Preserves roe and liver intact (optional)
Gentle handling preserves valuable roe and liver, enabling optimal raw material utilization and adding value to the final product.
Greatly reduces manual workload
The machine reduces manual workload with a streamlined infeed system for smooth fish handling and continuous flow. Its ergonomic design and precise tray positioning enhance comfort and efficiency, while cutting repetitive tasks to increase productivity and reduce strain.
Symmetric belly cut
Produces a clean, symmetric belly cut that enhances product presentation and quality.
Head-on gutting is possible
Offers the option of head-on gutting to suit different processing requirements and product specifications.
For land-based or onboard-based processing of fish
Built for flexibility, the machine performs reliably in both land-based facilities and onboard processing environments.
Easy to operate
Designed with intuitive controls for fast setup, minimal training, and smooth daily operation.
Caring for the environment
By using electric-driven motors instead of hydraulic systems, we reduce oil usage and eliminate the risk of contamination, helping protect the marine environment. At the same time, the absence of hydraulic vibrations lowers noise pollution, creating a quieter, safer workspace for the crew also minimizing disturbances to surrounding ecosystems.
FOLLA is configured for the specified fish size and production speed, but proportions and quality (season, catch area, etc.) may affect these figures.
The placement and adaptation of the machine to the production line is carried out by the buyer or personnel chosen by the buyer. We can assist in assessing its placement in the line together with the customer and, if necessary, the line supplier. Our personnel will handle the startup and training of employees as soon as the machine is correctly placed in the gutting line and ready for operation.
