Engineered for Corrosive and Low-Temperature Processing Environments

Baltic Conveyor Systems designs, manufactures and installs custom conveyor systems for fish and seafood processing facilities across Europe and internationally.

Our projects have been implemented in Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Norway, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, as well as in other European countries. Selected systems have also been delivered to customers in the United States.

We engineer not only conveyor systems, but also complete spiral freezing solutions, including freezing chambers and refrigeration systems.

Each project is developed according to:

  • processing line configuration

  • salt and moisture exposure

  • required freezing capacity

  • temperature regime

  • hygiene and washdown intensity

  • integration with filleting, portioning and packaging equipment

Our objective is reliable operation in aggressive, low-temperature environments.

Production Challenges in Fish and Seafood Processing

Fish and seafood facilities operate under:

  • constant moisture and salt exposure

  • intensive washdown cycles

  • low ambient temperatures

  • strict hygiene requirements

  • freezing and shock-freezing processes

Critical risks include:

  • corrosion of structural components

  • residue accumulation

  • insufficient drainage

  • unstable freezing performance

  • mechanical instability at low temperatures

Transport and freezing systems must be engineered as an integrated solution.

Spiral Shock Freezing Systems

Shock freezing is a critical stage in seafood production.

We design and manufacture:

  • Spiral shock freezing conveyors

  • Freezing chambers for spiral systems

  • Integrated refrigeration systems

Spiral freezing systems are applied where:

  • extended dwell time is required

  • high production capacity must be maintained

  • floor space is limited

  • uniform freezing is critical

Each spiral system is engineered according to:

  • product dimensions and weight

  • required freezing time

  • airflow configuration

  • structural load calculations

  • available installation height

Freezing chambers are designed to ensure controlled airflow and stable temperature distribution throughout the spiral.

Refrigeration systems are dimensioned to match actual production capacity and thermal load.

Stainless Steel Construction and Corrosion Resistance

Fish and seafood environments require enhanced corrosion protection.

We implement:

  • Stainless steel frame constructions

  • Corrosion-resistant components

  • Hygienic open-frame designs

  • Proper drainage geometry

  • Components suitable for low-temperature operation

Material selection is critical in salt-exposed facilities.

All systems are engineered for long-term durability under aggressive environmental conditions.

Belt and Conveyor System Solutions

Depending on the process stage, we implement:

  • PU belt conveyors for hygienic raw fish handling

  • Modular plastic belt conveyors for durability and drainage

  • PVC belt conveyors for secondary transport

  • Stainless steel wire mesh belt conveyors for airflow-intensive and freezing zones

  • Inclined and curved conveyors

  • Accumulation systems

Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Belts in Freezing and Wet Zones

Wire mesh belt conveyors are particularly suitable where:

  • intensive drainage is required

  • product passes through freezing stages

  • airflow must circulate through the belt

  • washdown access is critical

The open stainless steel structure provides:

  • efficient liquid drainage

  • uniform airflow distribution

  • resistance to corrosion

  • structural stability at low temperatures

Wire mesh systems are commonly used within spiral freezing and chilled processing zones.

Integration Into Existing Seafood Processing Plants

Many seafood projects involve upgrading freezing capacity or modernizing production lines.

Our engineering process includes:

  • evaluation of corrosion exposure zones

  • adaptation to current facility geometry

  • integration with filleting and packaging equipment

  • phased installation planning to reduce downtime

Conveyor and freezing systems are engineered to function as a unified solution.

EU Manufacturing and Installation

All systems are:

  • Engineered in-house

  • Manufactured in the EU

  • Installed and commissioned by our technical team

This ensures:

  • single-point technical responsibility

  • coordinated design between conveyor and refrigeration systems

  • compliance with EU standards

  • predictable project implementation

Operational Benefits for Fish and Seafood Facilities

Properly engineered conveyor and freezing systems provide:

  • Uniform shock freezing performance

  • Improved corrosion resistance

  • Reliable operation in wet and cold environments

  • Efficient drainage and sanitation

  • Stable synchronization between processing and freezing stages

  • Long-term structural durability

Transport and freezing become integrated, controlled elements of the production process.
