Project Overview
Longreat successfully delivered a customized seafood weight sorting machine system for a major seafood processing facility in Vietnam. This project aims to enhance product grading precision, optimize production throughput, and reduce manual labor dependency during seafood classification.
The installed equipment features two high-capacity rotary tray seafood weight sorting machines integrated with food-grade stainless steel sorting platforms. Designed specifically for processing wet, high-volume seafood products, this solution enables seamless automated weighing combined with ergonomic manual collection.
Customer Challenge in Seafood Processing
Prior to implementing our automatic seafood weight sorting machine, the client faced several operational bottlenecks common in traditional seafood processing plants:
- Inaccurate Manual Grading: Relying on manual weight estimation resulted in inconsistent product grading and higher giveaway margins.
- High Labor Dependency: Manual weighing required a large workforce, driving up operational labor costs.
- Low Processing Throughput: Traditional grading methods limited overall factory efficiency, making it difficult to keep pace with peak raw material arrivals.
- Hygienic and Environmental Demands: Processing fresh seafood requires equipment that complies with strict FDA Food Safety Guidelines and withstands continuous exposure to moisture and salt.
Our Tailored Solution & Technical Highlights
To resolve these challenges, Longreat engineered a comprehensive seafood weight sorting machine system customized for the client’s plant layout and production workflow.
Key Equipment Specifications:
- Rotary Tray Seafood Weight Sorting Machine: Dual-unit setup equipped with high-precision load cells for rapid and accurate multi-stage weight classification.
- SUS304 Stainless Steel Platform: Built with heavy-duty SUS304 Stainless Steel above the sorting trays to facilitate manual feeding, sorting, and easy daily washdown.
- Application: Fresh and frozen seafood weight sorting, grading, and batching.
- Location: Vietnam Seafood Processing Industrial Zone.
