Fish Processing:
Fish Oil Extraction and
Fish Meal Production

The worldwide demand for fish products such as salmon filet is continuously increasing and so is the number of fish farms and fish processing plants. In the same way waste which has to be disposed of as well as the quantity of fish by-products are all the time increasing.

Due to the high costs for waste disposal the idea was born to recover high quality oil from these by-products instead of disposing of them. In order to achieve high market prizes for fish or fish oil, highest quality standards on raw material and processing equipment is requested. It is obvious that only fresh by-products right after slaughtering can be used as raw material in order to obtain high final product quality.
