High-pressure processor for seafood processing
In the seafood processing industry, achieving an efficient separation of meat from shellfish and crustaceans can be challenging. Traditional methods often result in lower yields and can affect the nutritional quality and flavor of the seafood.

Enhances yield and quality in seafood processing
The Avure AV-S by JBT is a high-pressure processing system specifically designed for the seafood industry. Its vertical design and in-built safety features prevent mechanical damage. This equipment increases meat yield in shellfish and crustacean separation by up to 80%, compared to other methods. It operates under high pressure to separate 100% of the meat from the shell while retaining and enhancing the food’s nutrition, mouthfeel, and taste. With an annual capacity ranging from 23.8 million to 32.9 million pounds (10.8 to 14.9 million kilograms) depending on the hold time, it maximizes productivity and operational efficiency. The system is compatible with various seafood products, including lobsters, crabs, and clams.
