The press communiqué of Marel states that the company will give a live demonstration of superchilling, an innovative process that allows for the core of the fish to be cooled without freezing the surface. The press release also said that the process makes skin firmer and there is very little damage to the fillets when they pass through the skinning machines. The outcome is a much more attractive product with greatly increased primary product ratio and shelf-life extended by at least 2 days.
The company is also going to demonstrate its latest equipment for filleting and pin bone removal equipment, as well our concept for intelligent portioning and automatic loading of pre-defined fixed-weight batches into trays. At Marel’s stand there will be a wide range of proven applications to fulfill most seafood processors’ needs. For end of line processing, the company will demonstrate its latest weigh price labellers, including the new OCM 9500 for heavy products, which automatically weighs, prices and labels boxes or crates at speeds of up to 40/min.
For freezing Marel will display the Marel IQF spiral freezer, which operates on the vertical airflow principle. Its revolutionary RevoPortioner ensures consistent high quality portioning of fish products (whole muscle mass and dough mass) at low pressure. The structure and texture of the raw material is perfectly retained and the final products always have the same shape, weight and size, and uniform quality.
