Teknotherm has for years been a leading supplier of refrigeration systems to the world’s fishing fleet. Our wide range of products covers any kind of refrigeration installation onboard a fishing vessel, both for freezing or cooling the catch at sea. A typical unit for installation onboard a fishing vessel includes one – or several – of the following options:
For those who need the product to be delivered in a frozen state, Teknotherm refrigeration units for plate-freezing can be delivered in any size required. Freezing the fish into blocks is an effective and economical method of preserving the product and our plate-freezers can be supplied as vertical or horizontal models, with a variable number of freezing stations and station sizes.
Teknotherm air blast freezing units can be supplied either for «Batch» or «IQF» freezing of the catch. Common for both systems is that they can be supplied for a number of different capacities; tailor-made to suit each vessel’s specifications.
In a Batch-freezer, the product to be frozen is placed on pallets or shelves, hung on hooks or similar in the freezing room, in which cooled air is being circulated.
In an IQF-freezer, meanwhile, product entities are frozen individually and rapidly on a conveyor system, with low temperature air being forced upon it, thus giving a naturally shaped product of the highest quality. Teknotherm IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) freezers are manufactured both as single-belt and twin-belt models.
Every fishing vessel that freezes it’s catch, needs low temperature cargo hold(s) for storage of frozen products, although their specific needs tend to vary. Teknotherms aircoolers for cargo holds can therefore be supplied either for natural/gravity air-circulation, or for forced air-circulation.
