The fishing industry plays a vital economic and cultural role across Europe. However, ensuring high-quality and hygienic fish products depends not only on fishing methods but also on the effective use of ice and cooling technologies. At this point, Tamutom flake ice machines and automatic ice storage systems offer high-value solutions for fishing operations in both Southern and Northern Europe.
Fishing in Mediterranean Countries and the Use of Flake Ice
In countries bordering the Mediterranean ( Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal ) fishing typically involves small to medium scale coastal operations. High temperatures in these regions require freshly caught fish to be cooled quickly and efficiently. This is where flake ice machines come into play.
Why Flake Ice?
⦁ Provides uniform and gentle cooling on the fish surface
⦁ Maintains freshness without damaging delicate fish texture
⦁ Easy to handle and highly hygienic
Tamutom Advantage
⦁ Flake ice machines with daily capacities from 1 to 20 tons
⦁ Stainless steel body, low energy consumption
⦁ Tailor-made solutions for the fishing industry
Northern Europe Fisheries: Industrial-Scale Ice Requirements
Countries like Norway, Finland, and Ireland are known for industrial-scale offshore fishing. While the cold climate offers some advantages, controlled ice production is still essential for hygiene and product quality.
Industrial Flake Ice Solutions
⦁ Produces dry, low-temperature flake ice
⦁ Up to 80 tons/day capacity for large processing facilities
⦁ Extends shelf life and ensures freshness of species like salmon and cod
Tamutom high-capacity flake ice machines are well-suited for these demanding environments.
Automatic Ice Storage: Hygienic and Efficient Distribution
Beyond production, the storage and distribution of ice are equally important in fish processing operations. Manual handling methods may lead to hygiene risks and time loss. Tamutom automatic ice storage systems offer next-generation solutions.
Key Benefits
⦁ Contact-free ice storage for maximum hygiene
⦁ Direct automatic delivery to boats or production lines
⦁ Saves labor, speeds up operations
Installations in Portugal and Norway have shown great success, especially in meeting HACCP and EU hygiene standards.
