Transforming tuna processing

Marel brings automation to tuna deheading and filleting

Are you ready to transform your tuna processing operations and stay ahead in the market? Traditional tuna processing involves cooking the fish and manually disassembling it to extract the meat for canned tuna. This method relies heavily on scarce labor, fails to maximize the potential value of by-product raw materials, and keeps operating costs high.

This innovative approach revolutionizes tuna processing, enhancing profitability by offering a wide range of finished and by-products. From whole white loin sold raw or cooked for canning to shelf-stable products, frozen raw portions, and minced meat, each product maximizes the value of the fish. Valuable by-products like fish oils, collagen, pet food, and fish meal further contribute to this value. Moreover, this method conserves energy by reducing the cooking time required for processed tuna, ensuring operational efficiency alongside profitability.

Elevating production efficiency

With precision and ease, this advanced machines effortlessly handle skipjack and yellowfin tuna weighing up to 9 kg, extracting maximum value from your raw materials. Automating the tuna filleting and deheading process reduces labor reliance to just one operator and eliminates human error, ensuring unmatched reliability and consistency. This not only increases productivity and throughput but also reduces costly mistakes, ultimately enhancing profitability and operational success.

The revolution is here
