Looking for a batching solution

for its plant in northern France,ElaboPack was intrigued with

Marels TargetBatcher TB 3000 at

the Brussels exhibition. It suitedthe companys requirements to a

tee. The machine was bought and

installed in October 2011 and usedprimarily for fixed-weight batching

whole fish and fillets, which are then

packed into trays.

The Marel TargetBatcher is the

easiest way to reduce giveaway byrapidly identifying and combining

products to fill up trays with an

absolute minimum of overweight.It can combine numerous configu-

rations, delivering various fixed-weight packages of fresh or frozen

products.

Six months later, the company ispleased with its decision to go with

Marel. The Target Batcher is run-ning smoothly, and has improved

production by increasing yield andreducing giveaway. Marel has a

reputation for providing advanced

equipment, and after installing theTargetBatcher, we can see why.

We are very satisfied with our new

batching solution,says DidierLequertier, Group Director.

Marels optional Innova production softwaremonitors real-time information from the

TargetBatcher during processing, providing

a complete overview of all aspects of thebatching process and its results.

The graphical user interface allows the user tosee and easily adjust both the program and

the products currently running on the batcher.

The software also generates reports on criticalfactors such as giveaway, throughput and

efficiency.

The world seafood industrys future is bright as it

continues to build on strong foundations and a long

legacy of real-value creation. Today, the industry has a

unique opportunity: studies show that it is sustainable

both from an economic as well as an environmental

standpoint. However, all predictions indicate that

demand will be more than what can be produced.

What will define the future?

One important aspect of the industrys bright future is that steps are still being

taken to improve efficiency and processing productivity in fish processing.

Marel has played a major role in the steps already implemented, and intends

to continue developing in strong partnerships within the industry. Numerous

companies are already very much driven by ongoing improvements to their

efficiency, yield and value creation, which are exactly the companies that we at

Marel are eager to work with, for they are the future stars of the industry.

What Marel brings to the table

Marels role in the seafood industrys bright future is to facilitate innovation in

our customersprocessing operations. We have extensive knowledge of fish

processing, and aim to assist you as a customer to focus on your processing,

leaving us to focus on defining the needs and providing advice on how wecan provide added value with machinery, innovations, and ongoing service.

To further build on this capability, we are heavily investing in product

development as well as research in the field of food science, a field that we

know will create innovative value for ourselves, as well as our customers.

Fish connections

With all this in mind, it is a great feeling to be working at Marel, as all our efforts

are ultimately aimed at serving the seafood industry. I am always looking to

strengthen my connections to the industry, and would therefore like to stay in

touch with our customers via Twitter @jonbg or on linkedin.com/in/jonbirgir

where I frequently post industry or Marel related items of interest.

The future is bright

Information onthe moveInnova software and the iPad

have added an entirely new

dimension to packing and

quality control at Icelands

largest pelagic processor.

Based in Neskaupstaur on Icelands

East Fjords, Sildarvinnslan hf. is

Icelands largest catcher andprocessor of pelagic species, and

the largest producer of fish meal and

oil. Its ultra-modern production plantfor processing whitefish and pelagic

species has operated a wide range of

Marel solutions and equipment sincegoing online in 1997.

Real-time control

Since 2008, the packing lines and

quality control system at the planthave been controlled by Marels

Innova Production Management

software. This integration hasboosted efficiency to new levels by

generating an uninterrupted stream

of real-time information onimportant facets of the production

process.

Since installing Innova, controlling

operations has become a whole lot

easier, and more reliable,saysquality and R&D manager Sindri

Sigursson. We have much better

real-time performance information,and this helps us to make the right

decisions.

Innova automatically stores all

information digitally, and easily gen-

erates and prints a wide range ofreports. Moreover, it can produce

key-information labels for attaching

to boxes and pallets, ensuring, forexample that all products leaving

the factory are traceable.

iPad friendly

Sldarvinnslan recently becameIcelands first processor whose

production system utilized an iPad

to run an Innova QC terminal.

In the case of quality control, fish

selected for inspection are checkedfor features such as temperature,

size, weight, appearance and

texture. This data is entered into

we can nowpick up an iPadand access andact on informationrom anywhere inhe factor y.

Innova using an iPad and the resultscan be viewed and assessed

immediately.

Theres no doubt in my mind that

this represents a major stepforward,say Sigursson. Instead ofbeing tied to fixed terminals, we can

now pick up an iPad and access andact on information from anywhere

in the factory.

Another Innova benefit is a much

improved flow of information within

the plant. Its much easier to seewhat everyone is doing, which has

led to better communications and

teamwork. In the future, we plan toadd several of the other features the

system offers, such as monitoring

and recording performance andproductivity.

Its much easier to see

what everyone is doing,which has led to bettercommunications andteamwork.

GO TO:www.svn.is

While Innova keeps a constant watch on the packing line at Sldarvinnslan, amore visible presence is to be found in the form of a recently installed Marel

Speedbatcher.

The Speedbatcher automatically weighs raw material into sub-weights athigh speed, which are then automatically combined to form the optimum

batch weight. Fully automatic from input to delivery, the unit outperforms allconventional hopper systems in both speed and accuracy.

Since its installation two months ago, the Speedbatcher has handled around 1,700tons of whole mackerel, most destined for customers in Eastern Europe or the Baltic

region,says Sigursson. It has enabled us to pack larger fish that would otherwise

have been very difficult to handle effectively,says Sindri Sigursson, quality andR&D manager at Sildarvinnslan processing plant in Iceland.

getting involved in how to make

our production line as efficientas possible. They come up with

innovative ideas on how to solvedaily problems, and train ouroperators in the maintenance and

daily operation of both new and

existing equipment,says NicolaTontini, Production & Quality

Manager of Excellent Seafood.

The first improvement using the

new DPL slicing line 125 involved

the handling of slices, now a mucheasier task as slices are spaced out

evenly on the conveyor belt. This

makes them very easy to pick up.

Moreover, being able to slice the

salmon at temperatures rangingbetween -4 and +4 C has made the

production flow more dynamic. The

optimum temperature is quicklyachieved in a refrigerated store, so

it is not necessary to separate the

production phases.

Keeping the same temperature

throughout the process also ensuresthat the final product is kept in

quality condition vis--vis bacteria.

A line offlexibility

When Italian manufacturer

Excellent Seafood in

Avezzano, Italy decided to

invest in a new slicing andpacking line for its salmon

processing plant, Marel was

the natural choice.

Excellent Seafood s.r.l. startedprocessing smoked salmon in

2010, and by 2011 production had

reached six tons per week of variousfinished products.

The company has been usingMarel processing equipment

since 1994, and the DPL Dynamic

Packing & Slicing Line 125 fulfillsits challenging requirements for

slicing and packing smoked salmon,as well as other products such as

swordfish portions and smoked

tuna.

Innovative solutions

Excellent Seafood sees Marel asa leader in delivering innovative

processing solutions. Marel doesnt

just sell processing equipment.It also provides support by

High performance

The new line has significantly

improved performance. The Geba

slicer SC 125 V cuts fixed-weightslices to a high degree of accuracy.

This precision dramatically increases

yield by avoiding weight loss on thefixed-weight packages.

Another advantage of the sliceris its ease of use. The multilingual

touchscreen easily creates and

stores processing programs for eachindividual product, which plays

an important role in standardizing

production.

It is also simple for operators to very

quickly change cutting parametersto fit the temperature and consis-

tency of products, as well as switch

between product groups.

In addition, all production data is

registered in the built-in CPU, mak-ing it easy to monitor daily produc-

tion and calculate yield.

On-line support

The DPL slicing line has remoteonline service & support capability.

Marel service engineers have helped

Excellent Seafood to identify andsolve problems, adjust parameter

settings that have been incorrectly

programmed, etc. Service engineerscan also spot-check machines dur-

ing processing to determine if they

are working at peak performance.

Excellent Seafood has achieved

a high level of performance andflexibility after installing the DPL

slicing line. Our expectations with

this investment have certainly been

fulfilled,says Nicola Tontini.

Marels dynamic packing line now has a powerful new ally: Innova Production

Management software that scrutinizes all key positions in the line, enablingprocessing control from your desk.

The standard slicing and packing lines for salmon retail packing have longbeen a highly successful solution for Marel customers. Since introducing the

Innova software option, however, this dynamic packing line has become a

whole lot smarter, and more efficient.

All data on fillets, pieces, weight, trim, etc. are registered and used for creat-

ing reports, or for traceability by logging historical data. Moreover, produc-tion line weaknesses and strengths can now be easily identified and fixed to

ensure an optimized processing line.

Higher-quality salmonfor customers worldwide

When Norwegian salmonprocessor Bremnes

Seashore embarked on amajor upgrade of itsBmlo plant, the projectincluded the installationof a Marel whole salmonpacking grader, followedshortly by a completegutting line powered byInnova productionmanagement software.

Bremnes was founded in 1937 onthe island of Bmlo just off Nor-

ways southwest coast as a seaweed

reception plant. Since 1958, thecompany has been producing

farmed salmon, and is a pioneer in

Norways aquaculture industry.

Today, Bremnes operates salmon

farms at 22 locations in the Stavan-ger-Hardanger region, processing

some 250 tons of live salmon daily

about 50,000 fish into 100 differ-

ent products sold worldwide, many

of them under the companys own

multi-award winning Salma and

Bmlo brands.

Upgrading value-added mix

Bremnes Seashore recently em-

barked on a major upgrade of itsBmlo plant, including the installa-

tion in July 2011 of a Marel whole

salmon packing grader. A fewmonths later a complete gutting

line was added, with Marel graders

ensuring the correct distribution offish into the gutting machines.

This equipment, as well as all of theplants logistics, operates on Marels

Innova production management

software. Much more advancedthan the plants previous system, In-

nova provides a complete overview

and control of every stage of theproduction process, including qual-

ity control, order processing and

packing.

At the same time, Innova provides

Bremnescustomers with completetraceability for every fish from the

time they are hatched until they

leave the factory as a processed

product.

The main reasons behind the

upgrade are to boost productioncapacity of gutted salmon, and

expand production of value-added

products, such as fillets, while main-taining our focus on high-quality

whole-fish products,says process-

ing manager Vidar Helvik.

Our ultimate aim is to supply high-

er-quality products for customersworldwide, with a much stronger

value-added mix. We believe that

Marel equipment and software willplay a key role in these efforts.

Achieving optimum quality

For salmon processors, speed

and temperature are essential toachieving optimum product quality

and consistency. To ensure this,

Bremnes fish are kept at a constantyear-round temperature before

being slaughtered, and high-speed

processing keeps them at a quality-retaining low temperature.

After slaughtering, the salmon are

fed onto a Marel grader, whichweighs them to high accuracy

before sending them to the gutting

machines. They are then cleanedand stored in a buffer tank, where

they are cooled to 2C before being

cleaned once again.

The salmon then pass through qual-

ity control where they are examinedfor any defects in appearance,

before entering a Marel whole-fish

packing grader. They can then be

channeled to freezing, value-addingfilleting, or direct to a box filling sta-

tion for whole gutted salmon.

Onward journey

After being labeled, boxed and

strapped, the processed salmonend their processing journey at the

packing station, where a pair ofrobots transfer them onto pallets at

a rate of 20 boxes per/min, for trans-

fer to trucks which carry them off ontheir journey to customers.

Our ultimate aim

s to supply high-

quality products for

customers worldwide,

with a much stronger

value-added mix.

Although were still getting to

know the new system, it has already

proved easier to handle than itspredecessor, and has many more

features and enhanced flexibility.

Were very pleased,s ays BremnesSeashore processing manager Vidar

Helvik.

The foodof the future

The upgrade of our Bremnes plant,and the introduction of Marels

packing grader and Innova produc-

tion management software, are keyelements in our goal of continuing

to produce high-quality fish, while

increasing our mix of value-addedproducts such as fillets,says Bjrn

Willy Sverud.

The new system gives us the op-

tion of processing several different

types of products at the same time,resulting in an uninterrupted flow

of product on-line, while Innova

provides us with logistics relating toproduction planning, packing, label-

ing and registration for a variety of

purposes, among them traceability.

For Bremnes SeashoreCOO Bj rn WillySverud, farmed salmoncan go a long way tosolving global foodshortages, with Marel

technology playing a keyrole in his companysdrive for continuedquality, increasedefficiency, and value-added products.

Each fish that leaves our factory

can be traced back to the egg from

which it was hatched, and the label-ing on our boxes has bar-coded

data on a host of details, for exam-

ple size, quality, tracking number,packing date/plant and shelf life.

Farmed salmon is a healthy, nutri-tious food produced in a sustainable

way in terms of breeding environ-

ment, processing and stock. For me,it is the food of the future, and a

means of feeding large populations

in an economic and sustainableway.

When it comes to conversion rates,no other form of food comes close:

it takes only 100kg of feed to pro-

duce 55kg of salmon fillets, which ismuch better than poultry and pork,

and far healthier.

Despite higher production costs

in Norway as opposed to other

European processors, we have adistinct advantage in that we have

ready access to a constant supply of

high-quality fresh fish, which doesnot have to be transported long

distances for processing, as is the

case, for example in Russia, Polandand China.

Aquaculture is a young industry,

and in some cases much maligned.In my opinion, this criticism is unfair,

and most often based on misun-

derstandings and lack of publicknowledge. I sometimes think that

if agriculture, the basis of human ex-

istence for the past 5,000 years, hadbeen discovered today, it wouldnt

be allowed in many countries.

As long as the salmon industry

works together with nature as we

should, and the worlds fishing na-tions approach their fisheries in a

sustainable way, farmed salmon for

me can be a sustainable and effec-tive way of solving the worlds food

shortages,says Bjrn Willy Sverud.

Although weve only been using Innova production management software for about two months,

we already know that its a very good system. Its easy to understand, gives us excellent all-round

production control, and provides us with an uninterrupted stream of key information,says BremnesSeashore production manager, Ronny Meling.

We use Innova to program all equipment on the line. This includes the gutting machines andMarels whole-fish packing grader, which has parameters such as number of fish, size, and the flow

and rate of production we want to achieve.

Given the range of features it offers some of which were still discovering its a very easy system

to use. Plus, it gives us a much higher level of automation and control than any other production

software Ive ever seen,says Ronny Meling.

Controlling salmonlogistics

The Bremnes Seashorelogistics team work

together to make timework for them helped byInnova software.

Take 250 tons of salmon processed

into any one of up to 100 different

products. Now take each order andmake sure that every one of the

50,000 fish is dispatched to its

correct destination on any one offour continents on time, to exact

customer specifications, and with all

the correct paperwork in place.

This is the task faced by the

Bremnes Seashore logistics teamevery day.

Logistics is pressure

Logistics is the place in the Bmlo

plant where production ends, theroad begins, and pressure is a fact of

life for logistics manager Bjarne

Sortland and his close-knit logisticsteam of Anne Meling Brthen, Jihad

Salih and Linn Hege E. Ekonster.

Inside the plant, the team continu-

ally monitors and evaluates activity

on the production floor, and loadingbays, as salmon make their way

through the processing line and

emerge as completed orders readyfor delivery.

Externally, they must liaise withcustomers, customs, haulage

companies, and the many other

agencies that are a fact of conduct-ing an export business, while

ensuring that all necessary docu-mentation is completed on time

and in perfect order.

And all the while the clock ticks

relentlessly. This is a place for cool

heads and split-second timing.

Innova eases pressure

Like the rest of the Bremnes plant,

the logistics department harnesses

the power of Innova productionmanagement software to bring all

these different and often

competing threads together.

Control,says Linn Hege, when

asked what the introduction ofInnova has meant to the team.

Total control,she adds. Its also

much easier to use, and has a lotmore features than our previous

production management system.

Sitting here at my screen, I can

monitor fish as it passes through the

factory, including the Marel wholefish packing grader, and see exactly

whats going on at any given time.

If there are any unexpected hitches

or delays likely to affect delivery

schedules, I can react to themimmediately, or even see them

coming before they actually occur.

Its a very flexible system.

Innova has also made prioritizing

orders for dispatching much simplerand effective,adds Anne Meling.

We know exactly when the trucks

are coming, and can have every-thing ready for loading.

User-friendly interface

All the team agrees that the system

has a short learning curve and iseasy to use.

Anyone familiar with a Windows-

based environment should have no

problems learning to use Innova,says Jihad Salih. Its much more

user-friendly and offers a lot more

features than our previous produc-

tion management system. It took

me only about three weeks tobecome very comfortable with it.

As highly skilled at their jobs asBjarne and his team may be, one

thing they cannot do is make time

stand still.

There are two things we know we

definitely cant do,he smiles. One isstop production, the other, stop the

clock. Anything else well definitely

have a go at.

Unlike the Rolling Stones, the

Bremnes team would never claim

that time is on their side. However,by utilizing their skills, experience

and the power of Innova, they forma vital link in a chain that begins in

the breeding cages and ends with

the dispatch of products that makeBremnes Seashore a by-word for

quality and customer satisfaction on

four continents.

The automaticedge

Based in Zeebrugge, Belgium,Zeevisgroothandel Andr was

founded in 1979 as a traditional

seafood wholesaler. It initiallyestablished itself as a supplier of fish

and fish products to street traders

and speciality shops. That haschanged.

Today, the company specializesin supplying the food-service

sector professional kitchens and

catering companies with fresh,frozen, smoked and marinated fish.

This focus has led to ever-growing

demand, and the need for increasedautomation.

We chose Marels I-Cut 10 because

both the machine and the companyinspired confidence,says Geert

Vlietinck, ZeevisgroothandelAndr co-owner and foreign sales

and purchasing manager. Their

knowledge, experience and servicerecord were decisive. We never got

the feeling we were pushed to buy.

Small size big performance

Small in size but big in performance,the I-Cut 10 performs a 3D scan

of each fillet for length, width and

height, before cutting each to

precise specifications. This provenscanning system makes the I-Cut

10 both highly flexible and cost-effective.

Operating on Marels M3000platform, it can be programmed

to cut to multiple patterns, for

example three 200gr piecesfrom a single fillet and as many

125gr pieces as possible from the

remainder.

Improved product quality and

extended shelf-life are also majorbenefits, as increased automation

means less manual handling and

better quality end-products.

This machine saves a lot of manual

labour. Our people can nowconcentrate on really skilled work

such as filleting,says Vlietinck.

Yield is also much higher becausethe I-Cut 10 calculates the best

cutting patterns automatically, so

there is less waste. We get the mostout of each fillet.
