Kapp Products (by Function)

KAPP offers a full range of bleeding solutions to match different operations. The FIFO Bleeding Wheel ensures consistent, controlled bleeding with optimal timing and water flow. RoteX™ Aquaculture and RoteX™ Onboard systems deliver high-efficiency bleeding and chilling for land-based farms and marine vessels, maintaining freshness and extending shelf life. For gentle product transfer during bleeding and handling, the ValuePump™ provides reliable, low-stress movement of raw material.

Proper chilling and thawing are critical to protecting freshness, texture, and yield. From the moment fish are harvested or brought onboard, rapid chilling and maintaining the cold chain are essential to preserve quality. KAPP's chilling solutions, such as OptimICE® slurry ice, Fluid Ice, and SUB-CHILLING™, deliver precise, energy-efficient cooling that extend shelf life and safeguards product integrity.

Thawing, meanwhile, is often underestimated. A controlled, low-temperature thawing process is crucial to minimize drip loss, prevent bacterial growth, and maintain the product's cold temperature as it equalizes. With RoteX™ Thawing and advanced circulation technology, KAPP helps processors achieve higher yield, consistent quality, and greater efficiency.

Whether chilling or thawing, our systems integrate seamlessly into batch or continuous operations, making KAPP the trusted partner for maintaining quality at every stage.

With decades of experience and a skilled team of engineers and technologists, KAPP delivers fast, reliable, and complete control system solutions that scale with your business.

KAPP helps processors transform by-products, such as heads, bones, and offal, into valuable fishmeal and fish oil. Our systems are designed for efficiency, odor control, and environmental compliance, reducing waste while creating new revenue streams.

We offer a comprehensive range of fishmeal solutions, including pumps, high-performance grinders, bone separators, and off-load elevators, all backed by decades of experience in installation and maintenance. Built in stainless steel for durability and easy cleaning, KAPP’s fishmeal solutions are proven in demanding operations from the North Pacific to factory trawlers worldwide.

Efficient sorting and grading are crucial for maintaining product quality and ensuring that processing lines run smoothly. KAPP delivers rugged, high-capacity systems that classify fish by size or weight, reduce manual handling, and secure consistent throughput.

Our portfolio includes automated Fish Sorting Machines capable of handling up to 50 tons per hour, hygienic Holding Tanks for buffering product flow, compact Elevators for safe vertical transfer, and customizable Inspection Conveyors to support quality control. Together, these solutions optimize raw material handling from intake to further processing.

KAPP’s freezing technologies are designed to lock in freshness, texture, and nutritional value while maximizing throughput. From plate and tunnel freezers to brine and crust systems, we deliver scalable solutions for different species and product forms, whether onboard or onshore.

Our expertise ensures the right freezing method for each application: fast freezing to prevent large ice crystals and drip loss, energy-efficient operation to reduce costs, and hygienic design for food safety. With solutions such as automatic brine systems and contact-freezers, IQF tunnel freezers, crust freezers, and onboard systems, KAPP helps processors achieve consistent quality and performance.

KAPP provides complete solutions for processing, grading, and packing, from surimi production and trimming lines to precision grading, batching, and automated packing. Our systems are designed to maintain product quality, maximize yield, and meet international standards while reducing manual handling.

With automation at its core, we offer technologies such as vision-based graders, QC-Vision™ batchers, trimming lines, gutting systems, hygienic shellfish packaging, and palletizing solutions. Modular and scalable, these systems integrate seamlessly into turnkey plants or individual production lines, giving processors flexibility, efficiency, and consistency.

Our processing software suite connects data from across your facility to help you make faster, smarter decisions. From batch tracking and quality control to maintenance alerts and KPI dashboards, the system supports full traceability, regulatory compliance, and performance analysis. Integration with machinery, ERP platforms, and remote interfaces enables seamless plant-wide coordination and cost reduction.

KAPP helps processors turn waste into value with hygienic, efficient systems for transporting, separating, and processing by-products. Whether destined for fishmeal, compost, or value-added products, our solutions ensure odor control, regulatory compliance, and maximum resource utilization.

Our portfolio includes Bone Separators for gentle removal of bones and cartilage, powerful Fish Grinders for reducing waste into uniform particles, and Value-Added Mince Solutions that recover up to 28% of additional yield from fish frames. Together with automated Tub Handling Systems and the ValuePump™ for gentle transfer, KAPP enables processors to recover more usable material, improve efficiency, and generate new revenue streams, making the most of every catch.

KAPP delivers a full range of accessories and cleaning solutions that extend the performance, safety, and hygiene of food processing solutions. From foundation frames that provide secure, ergonomic platforms for third-party machines to wash tanks for rinsing and chilling, every solution is built in stainless steel for durability and food-grade compliance.
