Along the Value Chain –
Fish Processing Functions

Find the right fish processing machine for each function in your value chain

There are several factors that influence the choice of equipment for each processing step in the value chain. These include raw material treatment, production quality and yield maintenance as well as speed, efficiency and operational integrity. Our approach is to make sure that each machine and system that we produce delivers the quality, yield and throughput you require. We offer innovative, reliable equipment for the processing of wild caught and farmed fish, shellfish and seafood. From harvesting or receiving to inventory and dispatch, our solutions are designed to support our customers in achieving and maintaining long-term economic, social and environmental sustainability.

Keep Your Quality Great

Primary Processing

We offer game-changing applications that support animal welfare and increase automation in the reception, harvesting, slaughtering and gutting process. Our automatic salmon and pelagic gutting and nobbing applications are one of a kind. Each eliminates manual handling, minimizes stress on the fish, maximizes yield and quality and delivers far better fish in a more hygienic manner than conventional methods.

Gentle stunning, nobbing and gutting with quality bleeding tanks

The range of applications for primary processing include efficient, hygienic conveyors, humane stunning and slaughtering applications, innovative gutting and nobbing machines and hygienic, efficient bleeding tanks for maximum product quality. These deliver firm, quality fish ready for further processing or packing.

Value-Added Processing

Maintaining and increasing the value of raw material is integral to successful production. Our portioning, slicing and splitting machines are at the heart of our value-added proposition where precision, gentle product handling and production speed deliver the desired outcome. Whether you are processing a large number of small fish or a steady flow of high-value salmon or seafood, our splitting, slicing and portioning machines ensure quality treatment of your raw material.

BAADERING – A unique refining and mincing application

Our refining technique is so unique that it has claimed its own name: Baadering. It has become an internationally recognized process of separating soft and solid components that elevates the value of the product. Our technology provides reliable, reproducible results by extracting fish mince in a gentle manner that leaves solid components outside the perforated separator drum that is at the heart of our application. The result is a consistent and safe product that supports further utilization of previously untapped or discarded resources.

Temperature Control

We offer groundbreaking cooling systems that include add-on-chilling as well as brine, plate and IQF tunnel freezers and thawing and equalizing applications designed to deliver  in class temperature control in chilling, freezing and thawing. From freezing to refreshing, our systems increase efficiency, quality and throughput on any fish production line, be it pelagic, groundfish, salmon or shellfish.


Game-changing add-on chilling, freezig and thawing equipment.

Our add-on chilling method for preservation of fresh fish helped to improve the CO2 footprint of food production.  You can keep products fresh and unfrozen in a sub-zero state without using any ice far longer than  traditional methods. It keeps the fish firmer, extends shelf life and supports sustainability  fewer cargo costs and more flexible transportation.
Our freezing systems are innovative, efficient and cost-effective. Whether you need IQF or crust freezing, brine or block freezing, we have the system for you. Easily integrated with new or existing processing flow, our freezers use the fastest and most efficient methods available. With our thawing equipment you can match the quality of fresh fish with superior refreshed product. Continuous in-line production flow delivers higher production yield and better shelf life on the refresh market.

We are operating one of the most sophisticated pelagic processing plants in the industry. It is outfitted with several automated systems from you, including the Non-Pressure Plate Freezers. The freezers are very efficient and handle the product really well. We opted for these plate freezers to make sure that the quality of the product was kept intact and to maintain a fully automated process. Our yield is up, the quality is maintained and processing time is far less than before. It now takes only a day to freeze up to 800 tons of herring, something that could take up to a week before.
