3X Technology in Ísafjörður received last year grant from the AVS Fund to develop new equipment to process marning from by-products. The main emphasis is on getting fish flesh from the ridges without the marrow being contaminated with blood.
The project is carried out in collaboration with Matís ohf and Hraðfystihúsið Gunnvör hf. Hardware will be designed that aims to maximize both the quality and utilization of the raw material.
It has been possible to produce a light marrow with a standard water content by washing the marrow in a specially designed washing drum and in order to reduce the water content, the marrow is run through a marrow press where excess water is pressed from the marrow.
The picture shows the new device from 3X Technology in Ísafjörður, which consists of a washing drum and a crusher. The project ends this year.
