The world’s largest supplier of coldwater prawns Royal Greenland has signed a trial collaboration with KM Fish Machinery on the development of a patented prawn peeling technique that works by vacuum.
The pilot line has been installed in the former seafood salad factory in Glyngøre, Denmark, where the premises meet the requirements to configure a peeling line and produce ready to eat products.
Implementation of the project, together with KM Fish, will give Royal Greenland good insight into the potential use of this technology for prawns as well as crabs with a relatively short maturation time.
If the project becomes a success, the new technology will streamline the process machinery, increase the prawn quality and minimise the water consumption - for the benefit of both economists and environmentalists, said KM Fish.
