In offshore fishing operations, the preservation of squid is the core issue that determines its market value and economic benefits. If the squid caught cannot cool down quickly, it is prone to quality decline due to enzymatic reactions, microbial growth, and cellular metabolism, ultimately leading to spoilage and deterioration. Traditional preservation methods, such as relying solely on ice cover or frozen transportation, commonly suffer from defects such as short preservation time, high energy consumption, and complex operation, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern offshore fishing and supply chains.
To address this pain point, CBFI has launched an end-to-end pre freezing solution for aquatic products, which achieves full process preservation control from fishing to storage and transportation through integrated and precise equipment combinations (flake ice machine, tunnel freezer, hanging ice machine). The preservation period of squid has been extended from the traditional method of 3-5 days to 15-30 days, significantly improving product quality and market competitiveness.
Solution Core Equipment Detailed Explanation: Technical Parameters and Functional Advantages
1. Ice machine: the key to fast pre cooling
Technical Specifications:
• Production capacity: Daily ice production of 5 tons (can be customized for larger scale according to order requirements).
• Ice temperature: The lowest temperature for ice cubes can reach -8 ° C, much lower than conventional crushed ice (usually around 0 ° C).
• Ice particle morphology: Flake structure, large surface area, higher heat dissipation efficiency, can quickly absorb surface heat of squid.
Core advantages:
• Pre cooling efficiency: Sprinkle ice immediately after fishing, which can lower the surface temperature of squid to below 0 ° C within 30 minutes, effectively inhibiting bacterial growth.
• Energy saving design: 20% -30% more energy-efficient than traditional ice making equipment, with low maintenance costs, suitable for ocean going ships and land processing plants.
• Environmentally friendly material: Made of food grade stainless steel liner, free of chemical additives, in compliance with global food safety standards.
• Application scenario: Directly used in the pre-treatment process of fishing vessel decks or processing plants to ensure a low-temperature environment throughout the entire squid chain from fishing to subsequent processing.
2. Tunnel freezer: precise control of center temperature
Technical Specifications:
Cooling ability: Reduce the center temperature of squid from -8 ° C to below -18 ° C within 30 minutes, meeting international frozen food standards.
• Temperature range: adjustable to -25 ° C to -15 ° C, suitable for the needs of different aquatic products.
• Capacity: Single processing capacity of 500-2500 kilograms (depending on the model selection).
Core advantages:
• Quick freshness locking: By circulating cold air flow inside the tunnel, uniform freezing is achieved to avoid cell rupture and maintain the freshness and tenderness of squid texture.
• Intelligent control: supports remote monitoring of temperature curves, real-time adjustment of parameters, ensuring no dead corners during the freezing process.
• High space utilization: Modular design allows for flexible integration into existing production lines, saving on site costs.
• Application scenario: The core equipment in the processing stage, used for quick freezing and shaping of squid to prevent fat oxidation and nutrient loss.
3. Ice Hanging Machine: Long lasting Preservation "Cold Chain Armor"
Technical Specifications:
• Ice thickness: 2-5 millimeters controllable, forming a uniform ice layer to isolate oxygen and microorganisms.
• Efficiency: capable of processing 1-3 tons of products per hour, suitable for continuous operation.
• Energy consumption: lower than traditional spray type ice coating technology, water-saving and energy-saving.
Core advantages:
• Freshness locking effect: Ice jackets can block air, reduce oxidation and microbial contamination, and extend the shelf life to twice that of ordinary ice jackets.
• Easy to operate: Fully automatic feeding and discharging, reducing manual intervention and lowering the risk of cross contamination.
• Strong compatibility: Suitable for different aquatic products such as squid, shrimp, fish, etc., supporting diverse order requirements.
• Application scenario: The final process before packaging frozen products, forming an "ice jacket armor" to ensure stable quality during storage and transportation.
