Cooke Aquaculture has invested in a state-of-the-art ice system to boost product quality and reduce energy consumption at it salmon farm operation.
Cooke’s True North Salmon Co. division has contracted with Young’s Industrial Refrigeration to supply a slurry ice system from IceSynergy in early 2012. The system will be one of the largest ever installed for fish chilling, providing ice slurry to three different processes, value-added totes, holding tanks and harvest vessels.
The company expects product quality will improve as a result of reduced core temperatures from the slurry used throughout the harvest, holding and processing supply chain.
