COMPLETE CRAB PROCESSING IN A CONTAINER
This system has everything you need to process crab, from butchering, cooking, boxing and weighing. Containers are easily lifted aboard ship and secured to the deck. After connection of the main power cable and hoses for fresh and salt water, the system is ready for processing… sometimes within hours of the ship arriving in port.
Containerized processing lines are an efficient way to maximize production for shore plants. When the season ends, the container can be sealed and moved, without removing utilities.
Containerization protects the expensive processing equipment from damage during removal, storage, and re-installation.
