Modular, automated delivery system:
The system is designed to allow for behaviour based, in water, delivery of fish, to the stun machine in a stress-free, natural state and then immediately into the bleed chamber. The system comes in a range of sizes and configurations from 2 to 12 or more channels.
Seafood Innovations International Group Pty Ltd. use a basic average capacity specification of 15 fish per minute per channel. This equates to 3600+ fish per hour with a 4 channel system and approximately 180+ fish per minute with 12 channels.
The modules have been designed for ease of cleaning and low stress continuous delivery without physical damage to fish. |

SI Inverters:
As the fish exits the stun machine the inverter rotates the fish such that its ventral surface is presented for automatic bleeding. |

operational control gates. |
SI Control gates:
The control gates provide seperation of the fish as they enter the stunning machine. This helps to prevent fish from tailgating and getting through the system without stunning. |

about the SI-5stun machines. |
SI Stun Machines:
The stun machines irreversibly stun the fish before bleeding. The pneumatically operated process of stunning is operator safe and approved as a humane harvest process.
The SI-5 is the most popular machine in this range offering fast and efficient flow-through operation in either automated or manually fed operations. A range of other stunners are also available including the SI-2 and SI-4.

SI Bleed Machines
The bleed machines use specifically designed multi-faced blades combined with a top down bleed action to bleed fish in the inverted position. The blade cuts through major blood vessels and/or the gills of the fish without entering the heart. Rapid bleeding prior to regulation improves flesh quality.

SI Bleed Table:
The bleed table is designed to allow time for the fish to 'bleed out' and to enable the collection of the blood. The water entering the system with the fish is drained prior to reaching the bleed table. Thus the blood collected from the bleed table is undiluted enabling a more concentrated source of blood that can be easily collected from the bleed table for treatment and/or disposal. |

SI 6 Combination Backup Machcine:
The new SI~6 machine combines stunning and bleeding in one machine on a manual feed basis. This machine compliments the Seafood Innovations International Group Pty Ltd. complete system and will replace the seperate back up stun and bleed machines.
The advantages of the SI~6 are ease of operation, ease of cleaning and spaced effiently for use on the bleed table. |

SI Work Station:
An SI self contained work station can house a complete 4 channel system. This specially modified 40ft sea
container provides a safe and hygienic work environment.
In addition to providing workers comfort in extreme weather conditions, the containers allow for portability of the complete system as one unit. |
|
Count Manager:
The Stun Count Manager provides a convenient way to control and monitor a stunner harvest. The manager provides the ability to track average flow and real time flow rates through the system. The master units display the count data on a large LED screen, in a range of selected formats from individual machines to totals allowing the supervisor to display either the total rate to monitor minute by minute flow or simply the total count, or even automatically scroll through the performance of each stunner.
Through the use of the computer software the transmitted count data may also be recieved and monitored up to 120 metres away to check the progress of the harvest and allow the complete harvest to be logged, including the date and time, for later analysis.
For a harvest or production manager familiar with the stun harvesting system the Stun Count Manager system allows the harvest result to be monitored or reviewed in its entirety whether he or she is present or not. |
SERVICES
Seafood Innovations International Group Pty Ltd. offers Aquaculture Industry Operators practical and
innovative solutions to fish harvest stun and bleed situations.
TRAINING and CONSULTANCY
Seafood Innovations International Group Pty Ltd. can provide specialised training and consultancy in a number of fish harvest and post harvest related areas including the following:
- Harvest and humane slaughter technology
- The importance of pre rigor to further processing
- Dead haul harvesting
- Quality monitoring
- Chilling and freezing
Fish Harvest Management Training Programme
The programme outlined below provides in-depth training in management of the entire salmon harvest process right up to the stage of gutting. The programme focusses on management and maintenance of SI~5 automated fish harvest systems including automated flow-through (SI~B) bleeding systems. While the main focus of the training courses are centered on farmed salmon, the same principles apply equally to other species - and wild fisheries - such as yellowtail (Seriola spp.), cod (Gadus morhua), halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus), barramundi (Lates calcarifer), etc.
Contact
Seafood Innovations International Group Pty Ltd. if your organisation is interested in attending a training course- details below.
Note: The courses can be tailored to your organisation's specific needs, including timing and location, if required.
There will be two courses held in southern Tasmania each year, subject to demand.
The Tasmanian courses have a practical component and are held over 2 days. Certification of attendance is provided at the completion of the course.
There may also be one-day courses run in other countries at different times, and these will be posted on the website
Trainers have many years of first-hand experience in harvesting salmon and other fish species, as well as scientific and marketing backgrounds in
flesh quality and welfare aspects of the fish slaughter process.
