Iceland’s Eskja ramps up its impressive production capacity with the addition of two new automatic non-pressure non-pressure plate freezers from Skaginn 3X
Smart processing plant
In 2016, Skaginn 3X and Eskja built a state-of-the-art pelagic fish processing plant in Eskifjörður on the east coast of Iceland. The plant marked a significant move for Eskja from processing at sea to land-based operations. By making use of cutting-edge technologies and advanced automation, Eskja has been able to significantly increase its production capacity and product quality to further differentiate itself in the marketplace. The plant has proven to be an overwhelming success and has served as a showcase on how companies can upgrade their facilities with robotics and automation to achieve the data-driven smart processing of the future.
Full production capacity
Building on the companies’ successful collaboration, Eskja has now opted to add two more non-pressure plate freezers to their extensive range of equipment from Skaginn 3X. This move allows the plant to finally reach its intended production capacity. Skaginn 3X originally designed the plant with future expansions and improvements in mind, thereby ensuring that additions like these are not only possible but effortless and trouble-free.
The freezers will be installed and implemented into Eskja’s processing plant this December, increasing the total production capacity by over 100 tons every 24 hours before next year’s capelin season. The automatic non-pressure plate freezers use up to 40% less energy than conventional blast freezers and allow for automatic operation, infeed and outfeed. As an integral part of Skaginn 3X’s turnkey solutions, these highly efficient freezers contribute to increased yield, better handling of raw materials and reduced drip loss.
Skaginn 3X and Eskja march onwards
Always looking for opportunities to do better, shorten processing times and increase yield and product quality, the two companies have collaborated for years, fine-tuning machinery and processes with a data-driven and innovative mindset. This recent purchase by Eskja is only a stepping stone on the companies’ path towards a more efficient and profitable processing plant.
