SI~B

The latest innovation from Seafood Innovations is a patented pneumatic bleeder, SI~B, which when installed with the SI~5 stunner and in-water harvest system gives a state-of-the-art flow-through stun and bleed process. Fish are stunned and bled within seconds of leaving the water, delivering low stress, welfare friendly and high quality end product.

The bleeder cuts are quite inconspicuous and are located around the isthmus at the base of the opercula (gill covers). There are several different blade options to suit the different methods of bleeding used in various parts of the world.

Blade design and manufacture are extremely important, and considerable research has gone into blade development and the use of special coatings to assist penetration, sharpness, hygiene and longevity. There are also also some clever design features such as automatic blade cleaning.

The SI~B is designed to have high bleed out efficiency, especially when combined with the SI~5 stunner and inverter. Seafood Innovations has also developed a dry bleed system for collecting blood, thereby reducing the load on waste management systems.

A four channel system of SI~5 and SI~B can handle between 60 and 90 fish per minute. Between one and three operators will be required, depending on uniformity of fish size and shape, and the pump system used.
