Feeding system “Autofeeder” with conveyors

Description and application:

The fish auto feeder is specifically designed for fish cutting machines with pocket conveyors. The auto feeder makes the HGT process faster and easier and considerably reduces or even completely removes the need for manual work on food processing factories. Reduced labor costs come from the innovative automatization of work, as one auto feeder’s operator replaces four to five manual workers.

The machine is suitable for processing various kinds of pelagic fish such as sardines, herrings, mackerels and others. The fish auto feeder, attached to a pocket type fish cutting machine, produces up to 220-250 fish per minute depending on fish size and species.

Exceptions may only be made if there is any specific reason to believe that the Tenderer may suffer damage if the information is disclosed.

If you have information that you feel is of such nature, your tender shall include precise details of which information should remain confidential, and how you would suffer damage in case of the public disclosure of this information. Chalmers will evaluate your request and determine whether confidentiality in accordance with Swedish law may be deemed to apply.
