Our wide range of solutions
We are involved in varios steps of the fish handling process - under you can see some of our offerings for your fish farm, vessel or slaughter house.


Slaughterhouse for land and sea
Optimar delivers turnkey production factories for slaughterhouses. With our experience, we can take on the larger projects from the initial plan to the final factory of any capacity and size.

We deliver for all types of species and make sure animal welfare is in focus as well as a high level of automation to reduce cost.

Team Optimar delivers large factories on land, and our well know stun and bleed vessels can slaughter the fish right at the net pen to secure minimum loss and high qualiy. Additionally, we offer excellent vessels equipped with complete primary processing factories.

OptiBlast™

OptiBlast is capable of freezing up to 1000 tons per day of any product, and is our largest freezing system in size and capacity. Energy savings are significant because no large doors are repeatedly opened and closed. Freezing racks remain inside the refrigerated area throughout the process, so no energy is wasted warming up or cooling down the steel frames.

OptiBlast Hotel Freezer™

By using advanced automation, the Optiblast Hotel is able to provide advanced logistic solutions for storing and freezing fish in trays and boxes. Optiblast Hotel is an automatic freezer hotel that can freeze and log the time each product needs to be in the freezer, for correct core temperature. Automatic logistics system in/out of freezer is included.

Stun and bleed solutions

Fish processing needs to be done in the most efficient and humane way possible. The Stun & Bleed system is taking care of the fish from the moment of entering alive and all the way until a humane killing is completed. The system is designed to increase the welfare of the animal, to allow for full automation, easy cleaning and to give access for easy surveillance of the process. Several options for handling different species and maximizing the profit can be provided.

OptiTube Bleed and Chill™

With OptiTube Bleed and Chill the fish is kept cold and in motion with water while it is bled out. We consider this to be the absolute best way to bleed out the fish. The continuous motion and circulation is controlled to create different zones within the tube, providing first in first out transportation, simultaneous as it helps the fish bleed out more efficiently and more gently. Our OptiTube can be used on land and at sea.

Mobile factory solutions

To maximize your capacity, our container solutions can support your onsite factory. We deliver factory solutions in mobile containers to support your processes, for both land and sea. Some examples are Stun and Bleed factories, stand-alone Ensilage factories, and Slaughter lines with manual gutting. Our container solutions have been used on decks of large trawlers, well boats, slaughter vessels, on land with land-based farming, and on trucks to reach farming sites in emergencies.

Complete grinder and ensilage solutions

Optimar has delivered grinders and ensilage units for decades and our focus is and always has been high quality, hygienic safety, and complete solutions connected to the total production site. Our systems can handle everything from smolt to full-grown fish, for wild catch factories, and pelagic and aquaculture fish farming. We see a high demand for veterinary container solutions with a focus on infection prevention, safe zones, and hygienic cleaning. These container solutions can be delivered directly onsite.

When connecting our grinders and ensilage units to our Optimar Commander Software the factory manager has full control of the whole process.

OptiLice™ and OptiFlush Treatment Unit™ - delicing

Remove sea lice without using chemicals or medicals is the best way to maintain animal welfare and sustainable fish farming.

OptiLice™

OptiLice is a thermic, non-medical, and sustainable treatment for removing sea lice in Salmon, Trout and Lumpfish. This gentle method requires no use of chemicals or medicals and is documented to remove 98% of all sea lice.

The fish is pumped from the cage for the Optilice -treatment. The fish is counted, and then bathed in temperature-controlled water (-1C – 36 °C seawater or fresh water) in a controlled and time-adjustable time treatment. The underwater circulation of 1000 ltr/sec per line secures a continuous supply of fresh seawater (10 m3/hour per line).

OptiFlush Treatment Unit™

The provision of low-pressure waterjets surrounding the complete circumference of the fish body represents a gentle impact on the fish and its welfare of it. Combined with other thermal treatment systems, it reduces the temperature needed for efficient de-licing with approximately 2° C, and consequently, it also increases the efficiency of lice removal if leaving the water temperature unchanged.
