Tilapia Factory Processing Flow

From Farm to Frozen, Every Step Matters

Step 1: Raw Material Receiving & Live Fish Handling We select only live tilapia from CIQ-registered farms, transported under oxygenation to maintain vitality. Upon arrival, fish are cleaned, inspected, and recorded for traceability.

Step 2: Grading by Specification & Cold Chain Pre-Cooling Fish are sorted according to size and weight based on customer needs (e.g., 200–300g, 300–500g). After grading, fish are pre-cooled below 4°C to stabilize internal temperature before processing.

Step 3: Filleting / Gutted Processing Depending on the product type, fish undergo a strict flow: bloodletting → gutting → scaling → filleting → trimming → pinbone removal → quality inspection.

tep 4: Quick Freezing (IQF) Using Individual Quick Freezing technology, each fish or fillet is frozen quickly to ensure core temperature < -18°C within 2 hours. This locks in texture, taste, and freshness.

Step 5: Uniform Glazing & Vacuum Packaging Products are dipped in <4°C ice water for uniform glazing, preventing freezer burn.

Step 6: Cold Storage & Reefer Container Loading Final products are stored in cold rooms at -18°C or lower, with temperature fluctuations strictly controlled. Reefer containers are pre-cooled and sanitized before loading to ensure food-grade safety throughout the cold chain.
