Processing & facilities

How your shrimp is processed

Every stage — receiving, grading, peeling, freezing, packing and storage — happens at one site.

The line, step by step

From receiving to the cold store, every order follows the same controlled flow inside one plant.

  1. Receiving

    Raw material arrives on ice. Temperature, appearance and weight are checked before it enters processing.

  2. Washing & grading

    Shrimp is washed in chilled water and graded by count per pound or kilogram.

  3. Peeling & deveining

    Peeled and deveined to the ordered form, from HLSO to PD, PDTO, easy-peel, butterfly or nobashi.

  4. Freezing & glazing

    IQF for free-flowing packs; plate or blast freezing for blocks. A protective ice glaze is applied as specified.

  5. Packing, metal detection & storage

    Packed and labelled to the buyer's specification, passed through the metal detector, then held frozen until container loading.

Equipment & infrastructure

What is on site

IQF freezer with infeed conveyor tables

IQF freezing

Individually quick frozen, so pieces stay separate and pour freely from the pack.

Row of stainless steel plate freezers

Plate freezing

Block frozen between refrigerated plates — efficient for larger block packs.

High pallet racking inside the cold store

Frozen storage

Finished goods are held frozen on site until loading. Our cold storage is registered with MPEDA for 2,178 MT.

Water & environment

Clean water in, treated water out

Water quality is part of food safety. We treat our own process water on site, and treat all effluent before it leaves the plant.

Utilities

Water treatment plant

Process water is drawn from our own bore wells and treated on site in two lines: a softener line and a reverse-osmosis line. Both are chlorinated, held in overhead tanks and passed through UV disinfection before use.

Utilities

Effluent treatment plant

All process waste water is treated on site before it leaves the plant. Treated water is reused for gardening, and settled solids are dried on sludge beds.
