WHAT DRIVES THE INDUSTRY

What are the key challenges in fish & seafood processing?

The global fish and seafood industry faces increasing pressure to meet strict hygiene and safety standards, ensure full traceability, and improve sustainability, all while managing labor shortages and rising production complexity. On top of that, daily cleaning routines in wet, salty environments demand equipment that supports fast, tool-free, and hygienic maintenance, ideally certified up to IP69. 

Inefficient processes can result in costly recalls, reputational damage, and production downtime. To remain competitive, processors must identify areas for improvement. Increasing transparency, product safety, and efficiency across all stages is essential and Bizerba delivers targeted, smart solutions built to meet these specific industry needs. 

  • Undetected foreign objects such as metal or glass pose serious health risks
  • Seal integrity issues cause waste, product returns, and brand damage
  • Incorrect or missing labels can lead to recalls and compliance violations
  • Lack of traceability leads to delays and complicated product recalls
  • Inaccurate fill levels causes product loss and increased costs
  • Inefficient labeling processes reduce throughput and increase error rates
  • Liner waste from traditional labeling methods creates unnecessary waste and environmental impact
100% CONTROL

Comprehensive solutions tailored for fish & seafood

  • Checkweighing (CWEmaxx): Real-time weight control with ±0.1 g accuracy at up to 600 packs per minute. 
  • X-Ray Inspection (XRE-D pro): High-precision detection of foreign objects from 0.4 mm to ensure product integrity. 
  • Metal Detection (IMD pro): Reliable identification of metal contamination, very suitable for the fresh food environments thanks to durable corrosion-resistant materials. 
  • Linerless Labeling (GLM-I CleanCut): High-speed labeling of up to 120 packs per minute – sustainable, linerless operation with zero liner waste and flexible format handling. 
  • Machine Vision (LabelSecure, SealSecure): Smart inspection systems for seal integrity, label accuracy, and end-to-end traceability.
