As it works to construct its new state-of-the-art salmon factory, vertically integrated salmon farming company Bakkafrost is enlisting some assistance from food machine processor BAADER.
Bakkafrost has decided to purchase eight BAADER 142 Gutting Machines to outfit its new facility, which is set to open its doors at some point in 2016. According to Bakkafrost CEO Regin Jacobsen, the BAADER 142 units will provide “a perfect and clean princess-cut,” the ideal start to a quality product.
“A perfect final product starts with a perfect gutting,” said Jacobsen in a prepared statement.
In keeping with its commitment to high standards, Bakkafrost has decided to pursue and invest in the latest innovative technology for its new factory, and has, in doing so, fortified its vow to sustainability as well, noted Jacobsen.
"We already worked with the BAADER 434 Heading Machine, the BAADER 581 Filleting Machine, the BAADER 518 Transfer Unit and the BAADER 988 Trimming Machine and the Baader 560 Final Inspection for several years, and we are very happy with the performance of these machines. That was the reason why we now will complete the existing line with the new 6-lane pinboner BAADER 867 together with a 2 to 6 Divider. With this complete system – together with the corresponding Software – we will definitely improve our efficiency and fulfill our commitment to sustainability,” Jacobsen explained.
BAADER itself is expected to release a second salmon processing line, which is slated to be delivered by 2016. This second line will help Bakkafrost reach its goal for high capacity, concluded Jacobsen.
