New Machine Automatically Packs and Seals Fish Bags
Ove Godo of Atlantic Group, hosted a delegation from Alaska in 2002 who were seeking new supply chain solutions as it applied to new technologies reducing costs and increase efficiencies. Mr. Godo provided the group an overview of his company and contacted us about a new piece of technology that he thought of interest to Alaska processors and readers of Collaborative INSIGHTS.
From Mr. Godo - ATLANTIC GROUP, NORWAY
Dear Global Food Collaborative Members and Collaborative INSIGHTS readers,
Atlantic has invented and developed a machine to automatically pack and seal fish bags. We are aware of a number of companies in Alaska using bags. This equipment will help them to do the job with packaging a lot easier. By using this machine they will prevent heavy lifting of 50-100 lbs blocks, thereby saving workplace challenges and injury.
The first Atlantic Bag Filling Machine was installed on board the factory trawler F/V Havbris of Norway. The machine is working in accordance with our expectations. Reports back from the crew using the machine are very good - it is considered as a revolution in regards to packaging of vertical frozen blocks.
Please take a look at the new video published at our web site http://www.atlantic.no. There are also a few pictures of how the machine is placed in the factory on board.
The machine on the video is made to handle 2 sizes of blocks i.e. 50 lbs and 100 lbs, however, this slows down the packaing speed. I think Alaska production generally does you not require more than one size block. This makes the machine smaller and more compact. The capacity to pack and seal 1 block is 15-20 sec. Pack and seal is done in 2 operations with 2 different machines.
The machine is supplied with electric system, but can also be supplied with hydraulic system (additional charge).
Please be informed that Atlantic has been in the bag business since 1995. We got the ideas from Alaska while importing P.cod H+G packed in bags. Today, most of the Norwegian fishing vessels is using bags, while we are by far the largest supplier. In 2004 we invented the bag sealer, and this is today used daily by about 30 fishing vessels in Norway, Spain, Russia and USA. We focus on being a couple of steps ahead of our competitors both in development of machines and bags, and to be a world wide supplier. We have our own offices in Korea and Norway.
Atlantic is active in Ship brokering, Seafood trading and production of salt fish, Ship management and Ship consultants.

Look forward hearing from you.
