Introduction

A Haarslev Fish Draining and Weighing System are specially configured for draining and weighing fish catch as an onshore part of unloading systems.

Water is used to pump from the catch from the hold with minimum damage, but this water needs to be drained off effectively so that the landed catch can be weighed accurately as an acceptable basis for payment.

Nothing goes to waste, and all component systems are engineered for reliability and energy efficiency.

Standardized features and equipment

  • Perforated pre-drainer drum fitted with internal flights for moving the fish and draining off water
  • Rotating stainless steel strainer, with cleaning system
  • Double-chamber weigher – appropriately calibrated and certificated
  • Flotation tank for collecting and separating fat and foam
  • Strainer drum that separates out any solid particles
  • Lamella pumps that move the fish on to appropriate storage facilities, and transfer the water waste for other uses
  • Control and automation systems that integrate processes effectively and ensure efficient operation
