Royal Greenland and KM Fish Machinery have signed a trial collaboration on the development of a patented, more environmentally sound prawn peeling technique that works by vacuum. The press release of Royal Greenland says that the pilot line has been installed in the former seafood salad factory in Glyngøre, Denmark, where the premises meet the requirements to configure a peeling line and produce “ready to eat” products.
With the implementation of the project Royal Greenland will come to know more about the potential for use if this technology for prawns – and also crabs with a relatively short maturation time. Experts believe that the success of the project will allow the new technology to streamline the process machinery, increase the prawn quality and minimize the water consumption – for the benefit of both economists and environmentalists.
As per the information the project receives public funding support at 3.5 million from the Danish “Renewal Fund”, which has seen a potential in developing a technology that has not changed significantly over the past 60 years.
