​Brim‘s new and modern freezer trawler Ilivileq arrived in Iceland last week. The production capacity is approximately 150 tonnes per day, and to ensure the best yield, quality, and profit for its catch, Brim chose exclusively Vélfag machinery that will return their investment quickly and continually.
The 81,8-meter vessel is tailor-made with two fully integrated processing lines. The system includes two computer-controlled M505 heading machines that scans and measures the fish for arc cut to get the most valuable meat on the neck without compromising the filleting process. The filleting machines are M700 for small to medium fish and the advanced M725 big fish filleting machine. Both filleting machines are combined with Vélfag‘s skinning equipment to maximize throughput and uptime.
With the new high tech operating system Take Control, Vélfag offers constant service and support as our technicians can connect to the machine anywhere in the world with remote access VPN connection. The system is designed to make the fish flow through the process with minimal impact and ensures a precise cut of the delicate and raw material. The operating system offers our clients simplified maintenance, fewer cleaning hours, better yield, and excellent overall quality. Vélfag machinery will help ensure that Ilivileq will be among the most efficient and modern fishing vessels. The fact that Brim, which is the biggest fishing company in Iceland, has once again selected Vélfag solutions confirms our sustained competitiveness leads for 25 years in a tough global market. Vélfag congratulates Brim and the crew with their new vessel. We wish them the best of luck and good fishing in the future.
