The dream of a “black box” salmon processing solution - where the whole fish goes in on one end and comes out as finished product on the other, with full traceability and all key performance indicators registered along the way - has now become reality with Marel's integrated intelligent further processing line for salmon.

“The solution spans the entire production process, from raw material all the way through to finished product,” says Rúnar Birgisson, Manager of Marel’s Fish Division. “Full traceability of every single tray of finished product is ensured, all the way back to the farm that the fish came from.” 
 
With the Intelligent Further Processing system, Marel can now provide a one-stop-shop for state of the art salmon processing.

All the way, from fish to plate

The Intelligent Further Processing solution spans the entire production process, from raw material all the way through to finished product.
While Innova provides the brains of the system, tried and tested equipment from Marel's top quality brands provides the brawn.
“The real beauty of the concept lies in the seamless flow, all the way from whole fish to finished product in fixed-weight trays,” concludes Mr. Birgisson, Manager of Marel’s Fish Division.

Payback in less than one year

The benefits of Marel's salmon processing line are clear :

• dramatic reduction in labour (10-14 operators)
• up to 2% improvement in yield
• shortened processing time and ultimately a higher quality product.

All the benefits contribute to an attractively short payback time. In some cases complete payback can be expected within one year.
