Industrial fish and shrimp bubble washing machine for seafood processing lines. Gentle cleaning, water-saving circulation, optional ice glazing, food-grade stainless steel design.
In modern seafood processing plants, effective cleaning is a critical step that directly impacts food safety, product quality, and production efficiency. The Fish & Shrimp Bubble Washing Machine is designed to remove mud, sand, slime, blood residues, and surface impurities from fish fillets, shrimp, and other high-value seafood products through an automated, gentle, and highly efficient bubble cleaning process.
This machine is widely used in seafood processing factories, frozen food plants, aquatic product workshops, and export-oriented food manufacturers. With its advanced bubble washing technology and water-saving circulation design, it provides a reliable solution for continuous industrial cleaning operations.
The Fish & Shrimp Bubble Washing Machine is mainly composed of four key systems:
The washing tank is fabricated from food-grade SUS304 stainless steel, welded seamlessly to ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and hygiene compliance. The tank depth is engineered based on material characteristics, ensuring effective immersion without excessive water usage.
The inner surface is smooth and free of dead corners, preventing material residue and bacterial growth. Overflow outlets on both sides of the tank allow floating impurities and dirty water to be discharged promptly, maintaining clean washing conditions throughout continuous operation.
A sedimentation zone and filtration tank are integrated into the fish槽 design, allowing dirt and debris to settle efficiently, ensuring stable long-term washing performance with reduced water consumption.
The bubble system is the core cleaning power of the machine. It consists of a high-pressure blower and evenly distributed air pipes installed at the bottom of the tank.
High-density micro-bubbles are generated through aeration plates. As bubbles rise and burst in the water, they create a strong yet gentle impact force that effectively removes mud, slime, blood residues, and fine impurities from product surfaces.
Bubble intensity can be adjusted by regulating blower power, allowing flexible cleaning from delicate fish fillets and shrimp meat to more heavily contaminated seafood materials. The rolling motion created by the bubbles enables 360-degree, dead-angle-free cleaning without mechanical damage.
At the bottom of the tank, an inclined stainless steel mesh conveyor or chain belt transports materials smoothly during washing. The conveyor is designed to prevent excessive squeezing or damage, ensuring product integrity.
The conveying speed is controlled by a frequency inverter, allowing sufficient cleaning time for different products. As materials move forward, they remain suspended and flipped naturally by bubble and water flow interaction.
An optional top spray rinsing system provides secondary washing as products exit the tank, further enhancing cleanliness and preventing recontamination.
For stubborn contaminants, optional rotating brush units can be installed to assist bubble washing, ensuring thorough removal of adhered impurities.
The machine adopts a semi-circulating water system, combining filtration, replenishment, and circulation pumps to reduce water consumption while maintaining washing effectiveness.
The system supports ice addition or ice-free operation according to customer requirements. A dual-side baffle design and rear pneumatic lifting mechanism allow flexible process adjustment. The built-in circulation pump helps stabilize water temperature, especially critical for seafood freshness preservation.
Products enter the washing tank through the feeding inlet
Dense micro-bubbles agitate and lift the products, loosening contaminants
Impurities detach and float or settle into sedimentation zones
Conveyor belt advances materials while continuous washing occurs
Spray rinsing performs final surface cleaning
Clean products exit for further processing or glazing
This automated workflow ensures consistent cleaning quality and high processing efficiency.
This equipment can also function as an ice glazing machine. With controlled water temperature and circulation, it can form a uniform ice coating on fish fillets or shrimp products.
Ice coating thickness up to 15% per pass
Uniform thickness without ice drips
Smooth product surface
Improved moisture retention and appearance
This dual functionality reduces equipment investment and floor space requirements for seafood processors.

Q1: What products can this bubble washing machine clean?
It is suitable for fish fillets, shrimp, peeled shrimp, small fish, and other aquatic products. It can also be used for vegetables, mushrooms, and similar materials.
Q2: Does bubble washing damage seafood products?
No. Bubble cleaning is a gentle, water-based process that protects product structure and appearance.
Q3: Can the machine be used as an ice glazing machine?
Yes. With temperature control and circulation water, it can form uniform ice coating up to 15%.
Q4: Is water consumption high?
No. The semi-circulating water system significantly reduces water usage compared to traditional washing methods.
Q5: Can the machine be customized?
Yes. Tank size, conveyor width, capacity, and additional functions can be customized based on production needs.
Q6: Is it suitable for continuous operation?
Yes. The sedimentation, filtration, and stainless-steel structure ensure stable long-term operation.
