For centuries, ice has been the universal coolant for fish and seafood. It offers many positive properties for marine products. However, the efficient production of ice requires a certain know-how, which you get with us and our solutions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Why is ice the best coolant for fish and seafood?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe use of ice as a coolant for fish and seafood brings many positive benefits. It is not for nothing that ice has been in use for hundreds of years and is still used as a cooling medium by the world’s leading fish processors and fishing fleets.

KTI ice systems are used in fishing ports as well as for processing and packaging. A solution for ice production can therefore consist of a variety of different components depending on customer requirements. We at KTI will be happy to advise you which of the different modules is the optimal solution for you and as your partner we will work with you to develop the\u00a0best system configuration.\u00a0Ice plants for fishing and fishing ports\u00a0For ice production requirements in ports and when the ice is used for fishing, the following factors are critical:<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

Ice Plant<\/b><\/span>:\u00a0In modern ports, flake ice plants or plate ice plants are used. Block ice is only used when the ice has to be transported long distances without cooling facilities.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Pre-cooling of fresh water<\/span><\/strong>:\u00a0\u00a0If the available fresh water is too warm, ice production becomes inefficient or limited. We therefore equip our ice plants with pre-cooling for fresh water if required.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ice Storage<\/strong><\/span>:\u00a0The freshly produced ice is temporarily stored in a special ice storage for flake ice or slab ice. The ice storage is equipped with an automatic rake system and thus reduces manual work to a minimum.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ice transport<\/span><\/strong>:\u00a0There are two basic options for transporting ice. Either the ice is transported mechanically via screw conveyors or the ice is introduced into an air stream and transported pneumatically.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ice weighing<\/span><\/strong>:\u00a0Before ice discharge, the ice can be weighed in various ways. This gives the producer of the ice an overview of the discharge quantities.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ice vending<\/span><\/strong>:\u00a0If the ice is to be sold to fishermen, fish processors, etc., a system designed for this purpose is a good choice. Automatic transport and weighing is a prerequisite.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ice plants for fish processing plants\u00a0In modern fish processing plants, the catch is often already partially processed on the ship and arrives on land already chilled with ice slurry or super-cooled seawater (RSW). It is crucial that the cold chain is maintained throughout processing – from gutting to packaging. KTI has the perfect solutions to meet the requirements of modern fish processing factories. In addition to these factors that play an important role in the fishing sector, fish processors should further consider the following:<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
