With the help of MachineStruxure architecture, the Greek sardine packing industry is producing higher yields at lower costs.
New modular technology helps bolster fish processing industry yields
MachineStruxure architecture enables improvements in process efficiency
Despite a difficult economic climate, human ingenuity continues to offer easier ways to accomplish difficult tasks. In this particular case, Cabinplant A/S, a Denmark-based provider of machinery, processing, and weighing/packing solutions for the food industry, is utilizing its expertise in machinery construction and assembly lines to vastly improve sardine processing in Greece.
According to Henning Ingemann Hansen, Technical Director at Cabinplant A/S, “We partnered with Schneider Electric™
each added step. The Cabinplant solution is enabling the Greek packing industry to produce higher yields at lower costs.
“The solution saves manpower, and ensures greater utilization of each sardine. It achieves a utilization rate of up to 25%,” says Hansen. “As a result, Greek producers will benefit from much higher utilization of raw materials which increases the yield production percentage.”
