Successful FAT of semi-automatic plate freezer line

A few hours of testing and discussing the last few adjustments of the new semi-automatic plate freezer line was concluded successfully at Carsoe’s plant, and the crew of Royal Greenland’s vessel Akamalik were satisfied to see their equipment running smoothly.

"The freezer line plays a critical role in our onboard processing plant, so it is vital for us to see that everything functions flawlessly," notes Frederik Voetmann Nielsen, Chief Engineer at Royal Greenland.

Frederik and fellow crew members paid a visit to Carsoe for the factory acceptance test (FAT) of the Semi-Automatic Japan Line with Automatic Plate Freezers for their vessel. The freezer line is a central and vital part of the full shrimp processing plant that Carsoe is delivering to the boat.

A partnership shaped by the sea

At Carsoe, our close partnership with our customers and the deep understanding of their daily routines are fundamental in crafting efficient processing solutions that help our customers make the most of their catch.

“Our customers literally live with our plants onboard and know every nut and bolt of the equipment almost as well as we do,” Project Manager at Carsoe Jonas Aagaard states, “so it is important for us to take the input and reflections of our customers into consideration.”

Frederik Voetmann Nielsen: "For the past four years, I've worked with Carsoe's systems. It's evident they've continued to evolve, and most importantly, they've transformed a substantial portion of our feedback into reality. This is very positive for us."
