The SUB CHILLING technology, cools salmon down to -1.2 ℃.

Flakstadvåg Laks AS Invests in SUB CHILLING™ System from Skaginn 3X

Norwegian salmon farmer Flakstadvåg Laks, located in Senja, has chosen Skaginn 3X to supply a SUB-CHILLING™ system.

The patented SUB CHILLING ™ technology, cools the salmon down to -1.2 ℃ which guarantees a longer shelf life and stronger, firmer fillets (less rigor). This process eliminates the use of ice making it both an economically and environmentally sound choice when it comes to cooling product.

In addition to the new SUB-CHILLING™ system, Skaginn 3X has also been enlisted to update Flakstadvåg’s existing bleeding tank and install a manual gutting line and conveyors.

The concept of SUB-CHILLING™ is to chill the fish down below freezing point of water, where the core temperature of the fish gets close to -1.5°C/29.5°F in only one hour, depending on species.

This new addition will put Flakstadvåg Laks at the forefront when it comes to maintaining the superior quality of the salmon they deliver to market,

"We do this to ensure that our customers receive first-class quality salmon directly from our plant." says Roy Alapnes general manager, Flakstadvåg Laks AS.

Flakstadvåg has been farming salmon and trout since 1990. The company operates six licenses in several locations on the Senjak Coast.
