Caviar processing

Caviar is to dining what a sable coat is to a girl in evening dress? (Ludwig Bemelmans, American author).

Caviar dates back to ancient times and has been prized in almost every culture across the globe. Given its high price in the West, caviar is synonymous with luxury and wealth. For this reason, gentle processing is extremely important. Cabinplant can provide complete solutions for the processing of caviar.

After reception, the product is inspected and membranes are removed. The caviar is rinsed and coloured prior to filling into glass jars, which are sealed and pasteurised.

Cabinplant can provide solutions for all caviar types, e.g. sturgeon, salmon, whitefish, cod, lumpfish. 

A typical process for lumpfish includes:

• Emptying of Vemag trolleys
• Dewatering and colouring
• Infeed of empty glass jars 
• Washing of empty glass jars
• Filling of glass jars
• Check weighing
• Sealing of glass jars
