Our Fish Food Processing Line is a turnkey, fully automated production system designed for large-scale seafood processing companies. It enables efficient, hygienic, and traceable processing of various fish species — including cod, salmon, tilapia, pangasius (basa), mackerel, and more — into high-value products such as:
Frozen fish fillets
Skinless & boneless portions
IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) fish chunks
Marinated & breaded ready-to-cook fish
Vacuum-packed fish steaks
Surimi and fish paste
Ideal for export-oriented processors, integrated aquaculture groups, ready-meal factories, and government-backed modernization projects, this line delivers consistent quality, regulatory compliance, and rapid ROI.
Backed by 10+ years of engineering expertise and 200+ global installations, we offer end-to-end turnkey fish processing plants — from process design and equipment supply to installation, training, and after-sales support.

✅ Core Advantages for B2B Customers
1. High Automation, Low Labor Dependency
Achieve up to 85% automation, reducing labor costs by 50–65%. A 3-ton/hour line requires only 8–12 operators vs. 30+ in traditional plants.
2. Global Compliance & Export Readiness
Designed to meet HACCP, BRCGS, FDA, EU, and HALAL standards. Full documentation, CCP monitoring, and traceability systems ensure smooth audits and export certification.
3. Flexible & Scalable Production
Modular design supports quick product changeover between fillets, portions, breaded items, or surimi — ideal for OEM/ODM manufacturers serving diverse markets.
4. Energy & Resource Efficiency
IQF freezers with 30% energy savings (variable frequency + optimized evaporation)
Water recycling systems reduce consumption by up to 50%
CIP (Clean-in-Place) minimizes downtime and hygiene risks
5. Turnkey Project Delivery
We deliver complete fish processing plants — from concept to commissioning:
Process flow design
Factory layout & utility planning
Equipment manufacturing & installation
Operator training & SOP development
Remote support & spare parts network
Clients go from “groundbreaking” to “first shipment” in as little as 6–9 months.
