 Ilivileq GR 2-201 Kick-started the year by fishing 2200 tons of whitefish in the Greenland Waters on the first tour in 2021. About 100-110 tons, mainly cod, were processed on the vessel each day with Vélfag machinery, including; two computer-controlled M505 heading machines, M700 filleting machine, and the advanced M725 big fish filleting machine. Both filleting machines are combined with Vélfag's skinning equipment to maximize throughput and uptime.
The majority of the catch was large fish, and 60-70% ran smoothly through the M725 filleting machine. "The machines were terrific, and get a straight A's ! " -said one of the technicians onboard. We look forward to joining the technicians and, believe it or not, make the machines to be even more efficient!

The working range is 500g-10 kg and maximum throughput approx 40 fish per minute. Our clients have been exceptionally pleased with their brand new M521 yield percentages and running specs. The fish is loaded vertically for maximum yield. Interested? Don’t hesitate to contact our sales team for more information [email protected].  Picture: FISK Seafood FISK Seafood, one of the biggest fish processors in Iceland, chose the M500 heading machine from Vélfag for the freezer trawler Arnar HU-1.
Vélfag heading machines are designed to increase speed and productivity, which, in turn, leads to higher profits. The throughput is up to 140 fish per minute or as fast as the operator can feed it. Moreover, the belt design and variable knife angle produce an optimal cut and higher yield both for the actual heading as well as the subsequent filleting. The machines are equipped with a Sure-Grip conveyor system to provide better handling of live fish and fish in rigor mortis. The simple and space-saving machine is easy to clean, which leads to less bacterial growth and better quality of the product. M500 easily handles different fish species, for example flatfish, white fish, and redfish. Onboard Arnar HU-1 all species are processed for markets in Europe, the USA, UK, and Asia. The annual catch is 10.000 tons of live weight, which is around 5.000 tons of products. Their new heading machine can offer long term rewards that will support Fisk Seafood to continue to boom in the fast-paced, ever-evolving market. The Vélfag team would like to congratulate FISK Seafood with their new M500 and wish them good fishing in the future. |
