The HTR is a unique machine in respect of function and design. It was developed in collaboration with customers in order to avoid manual removal of the first and last piece of a portion-cut salmon. The machine is very small and compact, and it fits into any modern production line. It adds value in respect of automation and has a variety of interesting features.

The HTR uses acceleration to create a gap between each portion. Each portion is laser scanned and once the machine has determined which portion comes first and last, these two portions are removed from the conveyor in 2 different assortments. Further, this machine can switch into hibernation mode and function as an ordinary conveyor.
