Icefish is a great opportunity to hear about the latest technology developments and see new equipment in action. ALVAR – formerly known as D-Tech ehf – has always been closely connected with Iceland and, more specifically, with the country’s fisheries and their pelagic, whitefish, seafood, and salmon factories.

Watch the ALVAR team take us through their “flagship solution” - the Mist Core system, which deploys a high-density disinfectant mist in each of the processing rooms chosen within a factory.

The mist density guarantees thorough disinfection, including the small gaps between equipment units.

The automation of the disinfection process allows fish and seafood businesses to preserve resources and keep a tight rein on costs, including using up to 90% less water and 70% less chemicals, resulting in a dramatic decrease in bacteria count.
