Operational Advantages and Key Features of the OSCM-618

Hexagonal Wash Chamber (Enhanced turbulence ensures thorough cleaning while minimizing mechanical damage to soft-bodied seafood)
Automated Discharge & Sediment Separation (Separates shells, sand, and other debris automatically, reducing manual labor by up to 50%)
Optional Heating Function (Maintains water temperature for optimized cleaning of high-viscosity mucus on cephalopods)
Customizable Dimensions (Adapts to existing facility layout and integrates seamlessly with upstream pre-chilling or downstream packaging lines, e.g., Industrial Seafood Processing Line)

How the Hexagonal Agitation and Spray System Works

The OSCM-618 employs a hexagonal agitation chamber powered by a 2.2 kW motor with frequency control. Water jets and a mesh conveyor rotate the seafood gently, ensuring even exposure to high-pressure spray while minimizing bruising. Forward/reverse automation cycles reduce tangling of elongated products such as squid or eel. Sediment settles in a separate chamber for easy removal, and the machine’s modular design allows rapid maintenance without halting production.

Use Cases in High-Throughput Seafood Plants

In facilities processing up to 900 kg per hour, the OSCM-618 maintains consistent cleaning quality for octopus, squid, or eel, even under continuous operation. It pairs effectively with Industrial Chilling Systems and packaging equipment, providing a fully integrated turnkey workflow from raw catch to final packaging.

Compliance, Installation, and Global Support

Certified to CE, USDA, and BRC standards, the OSCM-618 supports OEM/ODM customizations including variable dimensions and optional heating modules. HSYL provides installation, commissioning, and global spare parts support to ensure minimal downtime and adherence to international seafood hygiene regulations.
