Cabinplant Seafood Processing Lines

Cabinplant A/S is a Danish supplier of tailor-made food processing solutions based in Haarby, Denmark, serving the global food industry since 1969. It became a subsidiary of CTB, Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway company, after CTB took the majority of shares in 2016.

For fish and seafood, the company offers turn-key lines combining equipment for grading, weighing, cooking, cooling and freezing. Listed products include a patented Multihead Weigher with Screw Feeding, a Seafood Roller Grader, an MTS Batch Cooker for shrimp, a Seafood Cooker with five belts and a Brine Immersion Freezer for shell-on shrimp.

• Multihead Weigher with Screw Feeding: patented weigher for efficient portioning of sticky or delicate products.
• Seafood Roller Grader: gentle and efficient size grading.
• MTS Batch Cooker: cooks and cools shrimp in tray form in one process.
• Seafood Cooker: five separate belts for flexible production planning.
• Brine Immersion Freezer: freezes shell-on shrimp with chilled salt brine.
• Turn-key projects: design, layout, construction and handover of multi-line plants.

Shrimp plants can cook, cool and freeze product in an integrated line before export. Pangasius or mackerel processors can portion IQF product accurately into packs. Mussel and crab processors can grade and cook with gentler handling.

Gentle handling of raw material aims to minimize waste and support higher yields. Tailor-made lines cover layout, equipment, electrical, hardware and software from one supplier. Cooking and cooling shrimp in tray form in one process can simplify the line. The vendor states the Multibatcher can reduce giveaway by up to 75 percent.

Seafood processors face pressure to raise yield and reduce giveaway while labor costs grow, which drives interest in automated grading, weighing and cooking lines. Vietnam's shrimp processors targeting cooked and frozen export products are a natural audience for such equipment.
