Fish Meal and

Fish Oil

Haarslev Industries history within the fish meal and oil industry goes back many decades in time.
Thus we have gained vast experience and extensive know-how in fish meal processing that enables us to
provide a unique equipment programme for turning raw materials into high grade products
while taking energy effiency and the environmental protection into account.
We have in-house engineering and manufacturing facilities in Europe, South America and Asia.
We are the preferred supplier in major fish meal producing countries and represented
world-wide through our own locally operating staff and agent network.

Haarslev Industries evaporators increase the plant
yields and reduce the overall energy consumption
while minimising the environmental impact.
Proteins in the liquid from the strainer system
and the twin screw press account for up to 30% of
the total fish meal yield. After separation of the
oil, the evaporator concentrates the stick water
making it possible to exploit the suspended and
dissolved proteins. By adding the evaporator concentrate to the fish meal you get an end product
containing all the nutrients available in the raw
fish. This maximises the plant yield and solves an
environmental challenge as well. The Haarslev
evaporators can utilise waste heat from the steam
dryers and thereby make the overall fish meal
processing highly energy efficient.
