Fish & Seafood
For more than half a century, we have helped fish and seafood processors increase throughput and profit while simultaneously improving presentation, processing hygiene and flexibility in production.
What are the biggest challenges at your seafood processing facility?
- Waste? Do you see dollars going out the door to the trash? Get more out of what your processing.
- Yield? The ability to get more out of your product translates to major bottom-line boosts. JBT machines are the only ones available that can match hand yield.
- Profit? The secret of success and profitability lies in treating each product individually. To ensure your profitability we back our offering with focused processing know-how.
- Labor? Converting easily and affordably to automation can reallocate insufficient labor.
- Safety? Not only safety inside your facility, but safety for the consumer. At JBT safety starts at the drawing table.
- Temperature? Fish processing creates fluctuations in degrees. Even cooking and freezing fish can be troublesome if proper temperatures aren’t reached.
- Handling? Are you supplying to retail and require superior frozen quality? No problem, JBT have you covered.
- Premium pricing? ‘Fresh’ is the key word in premium pricing of raw seafood at retail. By super chilling fish and seafood in JBT freezers you achieve the lowest temperatures possible without internal cell crystallization. Super chilling minimizes enzymatic reactions and virtually eliminates microbial activity.
