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.

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’s onboard solutions are engineered for harsh marine environments, bringing full processing capabilities directly to fishing vessels. Compact and robust, our systems support bleeding, chilling, sorting, and freezing, preserving product quality immediately after catch and reducing transport-related losses.

Rooted in Icelandic heritage and driven by innovation, quality, and sustainability, KAPP is a trusted global partner in revolutionizing onboard fish handling and processing.

KAPP’s onshore solutions cover the full spectrum of seafood and food processing needs, from raw intake to final packaging. Built for high-capacity plants, our systems emphasize hygiene, efficiency, and modular scalability, with layouts tailored to optimize flow, reduce labor, and increase automation.

With decades of expertise in fish processing and advanced Control Systems (SCADA), we deliver cutting-edge technology and engineering services that give processors full oversight of operations. Designed to ensure precision, reliability, and competitiveness, KAPP’s onshore solutions help achieve consistent, high-quality results.

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.

Efficient product flow depends on safe and ergonomic handling of tubs and containers. Our tub handling systems include automated lifts, conveyors, stackers, and cleaning stations, designed to reduce manual effort, prevent injuries, and improve hygiene. With customizable layouts and stainless-steel construction, these systems are ideal for high-volume operations with strict sanitation standards.

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.
