FLOTTWEG DECANTERS
for surimi production

Surimi production

Surimi has been produced for centuries to serve as raw material for traditional Japanese fish products such as Kamabuco and Chicowa. In Western countries, it is also used as the base for crab legs or fish sticks. Surimi is processed from deboned and washed white flesh fish mince. After heading, gutting, filleting, and deboning, the fish mince is subject to a 2 or 3 stage wash to remove impurities like blood and fat. The wash water is

usually strained off through large rotary screens. The washed mince is pumped to refiners where impurities like bones and black tissue are removed. In the conventional process, dehydration of the fish mince takes place in screw presses before it is mixed with cryoprotectants and then deep frozen. High losses of fish fibres in the washing stages and in the screw presses, the huge demand of wash water, large installation footprint, and the very sensitive

reaction of the raw material to bacterial infection are more than enough reasons to look for new technologies in this industry.

FLOTTWEG DECANTERS are a solution to all of these problems. Decanters can be used for either recovery of fish fibres from wash water and/or for replacement of the screw presses, therefore, significantly increasing the overall yield of the surimi plant.
