Packaging of Fresh Fish in Germany

Starting situation:

Our customer is an expert in fish processing and fish products. Their many years of expertise in the fish trade are an excellent prerequisite for meeting the high requirements of customers. The salt-water and freshwater fish to be processed come from recognized aquacultures in the Atlantic, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea as well as from European inland waters. Our customer operates in one shift and packages 4 to 6 tons of fresh fish daily.

Challenges:

Whole fish are to be packaged in mid-sized batch sizes but are not supposed to run over the main packaging line. The main line is set to standard size and large quantities and has long set-up times. A solution was sought that allows for fast, flexible and visually appealing packaging.

Our solution:

An all-rounder from SUPERVAC has been deployed here. The GK402 offers an optimal ratio of working surface, bar length and bar spacing. Ideal for packaging changing product sizes without the need for pre-sorting. Products can be put on the belt of the machine while the chamber is already drawing vacuum, so mid-sized batches are also processed quickly.
