Shrimp processing line for coastal fishing
The shrimp line includes bycatch separator, RS 24 sorting machine, Connie 800, pre-cooling and Connie cooling, and a load system for weighing and packing of shrimp. The shrimp line is customized from re-used equipment from the Norwegian trawler Havfluna and the old Monsun together with various stock items.
In addition, the delivery includes the KM Mark 7 fish gutting machine as part of the fish processing line. The machine is characterized by its high capacity and strong design that ensures a better working environment.
Exciting future ahead
The delivery to Monsun marks an exciting future to Carsoe. Earlier this year, the Seafood Division from Intech was integrated into Carsoe after an acquisition, and this delivery is unique as the order for the shrimp factory initially went to Intech, where also the equipment was manufactured, whereas the delivery and installation were carried out from Carsoe after finalizing the integration process.
This delivery is very special to us, as it represents our new future. We maintain our position as market leader within shrimp processing lines for coastal fishing, and it looks very positive for our future projects in this segment as our competences and experience are now cemented in the new organization. Senior Sales Manager, Leif Andersen, who has sold and managed this project.
