As fish market prices are under pressure, the Icelandic fleet is upgrading to RoteX bleeding and chilling on-board systems – and it’s paying off says 3X Technology.
The Patented RoteX side injection system increases the quality, ensuring higher value per kilo.
Bleeding and chilling with RoteX on-board means that every single fish is bled for 15 minutes and chilled for 30 minutes before it is stored in the fish hold, resulting in significantly whiter flesh and lower bacterial counts, as blood and iron are reduced to a minimum level.
Extended shelf-life is only one of the benefits of taking control of the rigor process - yield and logistics savings are considerable too.
By-product value is optimised as the onboard solutions are designed to handle guts gently and to separate roe, liver, and other valuables. The head quality is improved with 3X’s bleeding method.
FilterX
FilterX, the newest addition to 3X’s RoteX thawing solution, has been described as a breakthrough by customers. The water filtering system makes it possible to use the same water for two days, staying within recommended hygiene standards. Water usage and recycling costs are reduced significantly.
The On-Track computer interface provides the user with touch-screen controls and traceability of the product. The thawing process can be monitored by a remote connection from anywhere, at any time, through a secured internet connection.
RoteX Aquaculture
3X’s patented side injection system is claimed to result in a 30% superior volume compared to conventional tanks with the same footprint.
FilterX, the latest addition to the Patented RoteX aquaculture solution, evacuates suspended solids. Water usage and recycling costs are reduced significantly.
The 3X On-Track computer control system optimises the water flow and temperature in the ROTEX aquaculture system with remarkable accuracy. All measured temperatures, water, energy usage, process and control values are recorded and stored in the system for quality assurance purposes.
