Keeping fish fresh with slurry ice

For the fishing industry, rapid and efficient cooling of the catch is essential. The Icelandic producer KAPP builds and delivers slurry ice machines to the entire world – for this application, with BITZER ECOLINE tandem compressors. Slurry ice is a mixture of seawater and ice, which is fluid enough to completely enwrap the fish and cool it down within an hour. The quick cooling process increases the shelf life of the fish and minimises the formation of microbacteria. In this way, the fish keeps its shape and is fresh when it reaches the end consumer.
