“Conserve and cool” – An automatic preserving and cooling machine on board of the UK124 ‘LUUT SENIOR’ and MDV-2 ‘METANOIA’.
In this project, a preserving and cooling system for langoustines (Norwegian lobster) was developed for the UK-124 and MDV-2.
Manual sorting and packing of langoustines aboard fishing vessels is a tremendously labour-intensive process. All operations were performed manually. By automating the rinsing and preservation process, the labour intensity on board has been reduced. The langoustines are first sorted at the infeed conveyor, then go into the preservation unit for a certain time, after which they are transported to the cooling unit for cooling.
