When it comes to preserving quality and freshness of the catch, it is a known fact that proper handling, rapid and efficient cooling is essential.
The consumer demands for both quality and freshness are ever increasing. Producers must meet the demands of the market with any legitimate means available to them.

“…Then there is an enormous work savings involved by the fact that we have liquid ice system on board. - …then it is clear that we are getting much higher prices for the fish than we were getting before, that I thank better quality….”
Jónas S. Jóhannsson,  captain Geir ÞH -150


“…The result is amazingly good. The system uses first and foremost little energy, and the system is directly saving me 36,000 dollars per year in ice purchases and handling. The system makes all work on board easier, it is good storage for the fish that insures first and foremost top quality…”
Þórður Rafn Sigurðson , owner Dala-Rafn VE-508

He has now just purchased his second machine for his new "Dala Rafn".
It is important to cool the cache rapidly in the first hours after it is caught, as this can lengthen the shelf-life dramatically.

 
Continued downcooling
in the Processing Plant.

It is very important to keep fish downcooled through the whole processing procedure.


You will get a better yield and better quality raw material.

Rapid cooling of Whitefish.
Optim-Ice® has been used extensively in cooling and storing whitefish for many years. These methods have given very good results and


have given fresh fish that has prolonged storage compared to flake ice.

Rapid cooling of Pelagic.
Optim-Ice® has given good results in rapid cooling of herring at sea and in pro-cessing mackrel on shore. This has been done by using Optim-Ice™ alone or together with RSW systems.

Rapid cooling of Shrimps.
One of the most important benefits of using Optim-Ice® while catching lobster is the distinctivedifference in color.
Lobster caught and chilled in Optim-Ice® preserve their



red color dramatically better than using con-ventional ice or chilled water.

Rapid cooling of Salmon.
Optim-Ice® has been used for rapid cooling of salmon in Norway, Scotland and the Faroe Islands. The applications differ, but have all the same benefits of cooling the salmon quickly and economically down to the right temperature for processing.
