Application

Fish waste and scraps are the valuable raw material for fish silage, which in turn is a protein-rich raw material for the production of fish meal and dry fish feed. The acids used during production enable controlled growth of bacteria. The levels in the storage tanks must be carefully and reliably monitored. The visualisation of current process and storage status is handled by VEGA Inventory System.
