Fully automatic fish canning production line with PLC control. Flexible can sizes, energy-saving design, suitable for export markets worldwide.
The HSYL Automatic Fish Canning Production Line is a fully integrated, industrial-grade solution designed for medium to large-scale seafood processing plants. The line covers the complete canning process—from raw fish preparation to final packaging—delivering high efficiency, consistent product quality, and full compliance with international food safety standards.
Engineered for tuna, sardine, mackerel, and similar fish species, HSYL’s system supports flexible capacities ranging from 1,000 to 20,000 cans per hour, making it suitable for both expanding factories and large-volume export-oriented producers.
With PLC-controlled automation, hygienic stainless-steel construction, and energy-efficient thermal systems, the HSYL fish canning line helps manufacturers reduce labor dependency, minimize product loss, and achieve faster ROI.
Turnkey fish canning solution from cleaning to carton packing
Suitable for multiple fish species and can sizes
High automation level with PLC + HMI control
HACCP, ISO 22000, GMP-compliant hygienic design
Stable output quality and high yield rate
Low water, steam, and energy consumption
Modular layout for future capacity expansion
Global installation, training, and after-sales support
The HSYL fish canning production line integrates the following core processing stages:
Raw fish receiving and inspection
Washing and descaling
Cutting, heading, and evisceration
Pre-cooking (steam or water cooking)
Cooling and trimming
Automatic can filling (fish, oil, sauce, or brine)
Vacuum or nitrogen flushing
Automatic seaming (can sealing)
Retort sterilization (batch or continuous)
Cooling and drying
Can inspection (weight, seam, metal detection)
Labeling, coding, and carton packing
Each section is engineered to operate independently or as part of a synchronized automated line.
The entire production line is controlled by an industrial PLC system with HMI touchscreen interfaces. Operators can monitor temperatures, pressures, speeds, and production status in real time. Recipe management allows quick switching between different fish types or can formats.
Optional SCADA systems enable remote diagnostics, production data logging, and maintenance alerts.
Benefits:
Reduced human error
Faster changeover
Improved production consistency
Lower operator training requirements
All food-contact parts are manufactured from SUS 304 or SUS 316L stainless steel, with smooth welds and rounded corners to prevent bacterial accumulation. The line supports CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems for fast and effective sanitation.
The design fully complies with:
HACCP
ISO 22000
GMP requirements
EU food contact standards
Benefits:
Lower contamination risk
Faster cleaning cycles
Easier certification audits
HSYL fish canning lines are custom-engineered according to customer requirements, including:
Output capacity (1,000–20,000 cans/hour)
Can diameter and height
Oil filling, sauce filling, or dry pack
Manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic configurations
Single-shift or multi-shift production
This modular approach ensures optimal investment efficiency and allows future upgrades.
The pre-cooking and sterilization systems utilize optimized steam distribution and heat recovery technology, significantly reducing steam and water consumption. Retorts are equipped with precise temperature and pressure control to ensure commercial sterility without overprocessing.
Benefits:
Reduced operating costs
Stable product texture and flavor
Compliance with export market sterilization standards
HSYL integrates high-performance automatic can seamers with real-time seam monitoring. Optional inspection modules include:
Checkweighers
Vacuum detection
Metal detectors
Seam inspection systems
These ensure every can meets export-grade quality requirements.
