Keep your catch cool and fresh with Optimar Optitube Bleed and Chill™
As a decision-maker aboard a fishing vessel, your priority is ensuring that the catch remains fresh, efficiently processed, and that it has the very best quality for the market. With Optimar Optitube Bleed and Chill™, we have revolutionized the way fish handling is done at sea, offering a solution tailored to your specific needs and challenges.
Get the very best efficiency and freshness
Optitube Bleed and Chill™ operates on a simple yet ingenious principle. The main tube, crafted from durable AISI304 Stainless Steel, is filled with water, creating a controlled circulation system. Fish, filled up to 65% of the tube's volume, are gently conveyed by this flow, ensuring a first-in-first-out transportation method that optimizes bleeding efficiency.
Customized cooling solutions
Whether you operate in rough seas or calmer waters, Optitube adapts to your vessel's layout and workflow. Its flexible design allows for both indoor and outdoor placement, with dimensions ranging from 10 to 100 cubic meters per pipe. With up to three pipes per outfeed unit, each capable of independent operation modes (chilling, storing, bleeding, washing), you have unmatched versatility at your disposal.
Important key benefits for your production process
- Efficient bleeding: by keeping the fish in motion and cooled before and after gill cutting, Optitube ensures a thorough and gentle bleeding process, enhancing product quality.
- Storage and buffering: Optitube facilitates storing and buffering during slaughtering, allowing for smoother operations and increased productivity.
- Flexible bleeding time: tailor the bleeding process to your specific requirements, ensuring optimal results every time.
