FISH AND SEAFOOD ICING Use: Fresh caught, processed fish and shellfish products requiring
preservation of quality with ice. Ice is used at all points-
vessels, central processing areas and transporting of seafood.
Reduced bacteria or enzyme activity in seafood products slows decay and yields a higher quality grade. Ice provides a sanitary means for this preservation.
Solutions: To fully retard or inhibit bacterial growth after catching, the ice used for seafood must be clean. Using potable water in the production of the ice and sanitary handling of the ice after production is the only way to assure ice cleanliness. Ice made in a central ice plant is conveyed either mechanically or pneumatically on to the fishing vessels or other points of use. The amount of ice needed is dictated by the cooling rate required by the fish product being caught. Different species require varying cooling times to maintain quality.
 
Ice makers
(C series / Tig / TIGAR) provide a sanitary way (USDA approved) to manufacturer a fragmented product. The density advantages are important to vessel crews given the limited amount of space. Additional ice means longer trips and more product. More fragmented ice can be put in transport containers as well increasing the effectiveness of this means of storage.
 
Rake storage bins
(CB and Automatic Rakes) allow a convenient way of handling large amounts of ice. The rake stores the capacity of ice making machinery and delivers it at high demand times. The USDA approved construction keeps the ice sanitary prior to delivery to the end used point. Capacities up to 400 tons can be obtained.
 
Pneumatic delivery systems
Blower, rotary valve and control systems) for delivering ice to vessels and icing points in the processing line. This USDA approved equipment will deliver ice at necessary rates to the various locations. This equipment is easily interfaces with ice machines and ice rakes to complete the system.
 
Features:
Turbo fragmented ice benefits:
 
Densest product made- more ice in the same volume. Critical in ship icing.
Large amount of surface area for quick cooling of product.
Sanitary equipment construction.
Variable ice thickness control for desired ice type.
Storage and delivery systems to integrate in to any plant process.
Variable delivery rates control options.

 

Typical applications:

 

Coastal ice plants for vessel icing.
Pneumatic conveyors for handling ice to vessels and processing lines.
Packing of fresh seafood for transport.
