SplitX

The KAPP SplitX gently disintegrates frozen fish blocks into individual or loosely connected pieces before thawing. By gently splitting tempered blocks (from –18 °C to –6 °C to –10 °C), the SplitX increases surface area, accelerates uniform thawing, and preserves product quality.
The result: higher yield, shorter processing time, and reduced water and energy consumption across the thawing operation.

• Throughput up to 6 tons/hour
• Manual or automatic infeed options
• Compact, industrial-grade design
• Reduces bottlenecks before RoteX Thawing® or other thawing systems
• Enhances product quality and improves batch consistency
• Proven Nordic engineering, built for 24/7 industrial environments

Frozen fish blocks thaw slowly and unevenly. Solid blocks limit water circulation, require excessive warm water, and risk product damage.

The SplitX solves this by gently cracking the block, creating multiple access points for water and heat, leading to:

• Faster, more uniform thawing
• Reduced bacterial risk
• Better texture and appearance
• Higher overall yield

• Gentle mechanical cracking preserves fillet integrity
• Safety interlocked infeed/outfeed doors
• PLC control panel with emergency stop and reset indicators
• Food-grade construction for hygiene and durability
• Easy-to-remove upper and lower press plates for cleaning
• Designed for minimal maintenance with accessible lubrication points
