Mussel chilling and packing
Integrating a Deepchill® system into their entire operations enabled Prince Edward Aqua Farms to expand their markets into the US and Europe with consistently fresh and premium quality mussel, oyster and clam.
Cut overpack by half
Deepchill® preserves the moisture content of shellfish for longer than flake ice.
PE Aqua Farms was able to reduce overpack by half and extend their shelf life.
Expanded market reach
Deepchill® fully encapsulates the product and leaves no air or heat pockets preventing crystals from melting prematurely.
Market reach was expanded due to the fact that Deepchill® lasted longer than flake ice during transport.
Efficient operations
By eliminating the hassle of manual shovelling and transportation of flake ice,
Deepchill® helped reduce their labor costs as well as improved the efficiency of their operation.
Superior quality
Deepchill®, covers every single mussel to quickly chill and maintain that fresh-out of-the-water quality which helps PE Aqua Farms receive a premium compared to their competitors.
