Stably supplies safe products with a complete and hygienic system
Stably supplies safe products with a complete and hygienic system In the export of seafood products, the number of countries demanding hygiene management via HACCP is increasing. Additionally, hygiene management is essential in processing facilities to ensure safe seafood for consumers. With its extensive engineering experience, Mayekawa ensures that the freezers and conveyors incorporated into the line have a simple structure that emphasizes washing and cleanability in the design concept. Our easy-to-wash and hygienic systems contribute to food safety.Additionally, the overall design, including hygienic aspects such as air shutters that are highly effective at preventing insects from entering facilities through entrances/exits, assists in creating an end-to-end environment where products can be safely and hygienically produced.
Simultaneous realization of energy saving and global environmental conservation
Ice and cooling are required in the distribution of seafood, which rapidly loses its freshness. However, many of the cooling systems used by ice-making, freezing, and cold storage facilities currently use fluorocarbon refrigerants that destruct the ozone layer and significantly contribute to global warming; and, accordingly, international regulations governing their use are deepening.In a time where the conversion to natural refrigerants is simultaneously being sought, systems developed by Mayekawa, such as an ultra-low temperature refrigeration system that uses air as a refrigerant, and high-efficiency refrigerators that use indirect cooling systems that cool CO2 with ammonia are starting to be adopted in the market.
In addition to protecting the global environment, the high energy efficiency of this equipment lowers power consumption across the entire cooling facility, leading to advantages such as reduced facility operational costs.
Build continuity of food freshness management, an essential element of distribution
In recent years, it is revealed that aquaculture is responsible for half of the output of global production for the fishing industry. However, as with fishing, the production of seafood products is unstable and highly affected by natural conditions. The quality of fresh fish rapidly declines due to spoilage and drops in the degree of freshness. As such, the application of cooling technology is essential for long-term storage and ensuring the stable provision of raw food materials for processing.Mayekawa supports distribution from production to the point of sale to consumers through a combination of technologies that prevent product value and quality degradation, including the following:
Technology related to making plate ice, which has excellent properties for keeping items cold and thus contributes to maintaining freshness during transport immediately after fish/marine animals have been caught
Storage technology that ensures product is kept under optimal conditions in cold storage facilities
Low-temperature, high-humidity defrosting technology that can help maintain quality during processing
