Challenge
- Fish and fishery products require preservation with ice or chilled water through each step of fish handling chain. To maintain optimum fish quality, a large amount of ice is needed for continuous temperature control to reduce bacteria or enzyme activity in seafood products, slow decay and yield a higher quality grade.
- The temperature control in fish processing center is critical to keep high quality of fishes, especially tuna. Fish processors often ignore the importance of the temperature control.
Solution
- Icesource offers ice manufacturing solution to meet customers' needs of various ice types, no matter whether it is flake ice used on fishing vessels or block ice used for live fish long-distance transportation.
- Icesource can provide solution of low-temperature clean and comfortable food processing plant (LCCP cold room), guaranteeing high quality of fish.
