1. Check the skinner tooth roll regularly to ensure its pulling power
As the diameter of a tooth roll diminishes due to normal wear, it affects the tooth roll-to-blade clearance. A regular check with a tooth role gauge will tell you how sharp the tooth roll is and if the diameter is giving the correct clearance.
A tooth roll gauge is only a small tool but has an enormous effect on skinning yields. It detects wear and tear on a skinner tooth roll so that it can be replaced before yield begins to decline. It’s simple to use and can be obtained from your friendly Marel service technician.
