The thawing system is the automatic thawing of single frozen fish before filleting. The system can also be used for fish cooling and, if necessary, bleeding, if it is used for fresh fish. The thawing process takes up to eight hours depending on the size of the fish.

Automatic thawing of fish
The system thaws the fish until it reaches a core temperature of -1 °C. Then it starts cooling to keep the fish cold until it is further processed, ensuring a fresh fish from the start.
Each tank can contain 6000 kg of fish.
The system can be made in accordance with customer needs, depending on the chosen cooling and heating system.
