Smart crustacean processing built for rough conditions

Species

Crustaceans like shrimp, crab, and langoustines need careful handling. Fast, but gentle. Optimar has extensive experience in developing systems for efficient and safe processing of crustaceans.

For people who know what they’re doing

If you work with shrimp or other crustaceans, you know how quickly things can go from top quality to lost value. That’s why everything needs to run smoothly. Our shrimp processing machines cover the entire processing line, from live intake and transport to sorting, chilling, and packing.

Our solutions are tailored to your operations, whether you're handling small batches or high volumes.

Developed together with the industry

We don’t sit in an office and guess. We talk to people who are hands-on with crustacean processing every day. Who know what works and what doesn’t. That’s how we build shrimp processing solutions that actually solve problems.

We focus on what matters: high product quality, smooth production flow, and reliable crustacean processing equipment that lasts.
