Automatic Canned Fish Production Line

End-to-end design, manufacturing, and delivery—empowering you to achieve efficient, compliant, and highly profitable production in any global market.

Automatic Canned Fish Production Line for Seafood Retail

The HSYL automatic canned fish production line combines fish thawing, prewash, trimming, can filling and continuous retort sterilization to deliver 8-12 tons per hour of finished canned tuna, sardine and mackerel.

Upstream integration with washing-cleaning-machines reduces salt carryover before the can filler, while downstream thermal handling aligns with cooking-frying expertise for precise heat penetration.

Overcoming Canned Fish Industry Bottlenecks

HSYL solves the biggest production risk by isolating oily brine flow from the seaming zone and stabilizing product weight before each can enters the seamer.

  • Servo-controlled can seamers prevent cold seams and support 100% seam inspection.
  • Dedicated oil separation and dribble recovery sections reduce contamination risk.
  • Automated flow balancing between filler, seamer and retort prevents product spikes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What capacity can the automatic canned fish line sustain and how is throughput validated?
The line is designed for 8-12 tons/hour, with throughput validated by finished can count after the filler and seamer, ensuring 280-360 cans per minute while maintaining seam and retort quality.
Can this line handle both tuna and mackerel recipes with oil or brine?
Yes, the modular filler and dosing system can switch between tuna chunks in oil, mackerel in tomato sauce and sardines in brine, with dedicated sanitary circuits for each recipe.
How does HSYL guarantee seam integrity and sterilization in a fish canning line?
HSYL uses servo-driven double-dome seamers coupled with 121-130°C continuous retort profiles and P&T data acquisition to ensure every can meets commercial shelf-stability standards.
What are the installation requirements for the production line?
Typical installation requires a 28-32 meter linear footprint, 400V three-phase power, steam boiler hookup and 2.4 meter clear ceiling height for the retort and transfer conveyors.
How is CIP managed for oily and saline processing stages?
A dedicated CIP system circulates 150-180 L/min of alkaline and acid solutions through the filler, seamer and pump manifolds, eliminating oil residue and salt build-up while preserving HACCP compliance.
