Setting new standards for operational range and outboard emissions

THE OXE Diesel engine reduces fuel consumption by more than 42% compared to a modern gasoline outboard of equivalent horsepower, setting new standards for internal combustion engines within the global outboard industry. On top of this, by using the sustainable fuel option Biodiesel – which is compliant with all OXE Marine products – you can further reduce your net carbon footprint by up to 90%. In addition, HVO and Biodiesel fuels reduce net carbon dioxide by up to 94% or up to 257,082Kg/1000hrs of operation. This reduction significantly contributes to a reduced environmental impact, while increasing the operational range for users by

60%. Discover more about OXE Diesel outboards at: oxemarine.com

Running like clockwork

THE world-famous FIAP clockwork feeder has been further developed and now a PRO version is also being produced. Clear advantages incorporated in the new model include a sliding ring bearing, a removable conveyor belt – which can be taken out without dismantling the clockwork mechanism – and a shaft made of seawater-resistant aluminium. Also new for this model is an additional clockwork running time of four hours.

Stress-free loading with FM BULK HANDLING

THE ship loaders and unloaders from FM BULK HANDLING are designed for gentle handling. Even with a capacity up to 330 m3/h, there is hardly any dust, or broken/damaged fish fed pellets, when the pellets are loaded onto the silos on board the vessel.

It is not only fish feed pellets the ship loaders are used for. FM BULK HANDLING also provides ship loaders for loading fish meal onto ships. The capacity of up to 330 m3/h will meet most demands for effective loading and minimising waiting time at the quay, but if higher capacity is required FM BULK HANDLING has a solution for that, too. www.fmbulk.com

GEA offers slice of good fortune

FROM April 2022 the UK Government will be imposing a new tax on any plastics which are not at least 30% recycled material. GEA’s innovative FoodTray solution, handled automatically by the GEA PowerPak PLUS thermoformer, can reduce plastic usage by up to 80% by utilising a fully recyclable cardboard base.

GEA also offers high-performance slicers that can be integrated into fully automated slicing and packaging lines. The special saw-tooth edge for involute blades guarantees high-quality slicing, improving the process’s energy footprint.

Thanks not only to advances in GEA slicing technology but also GEA’s purpose-designed, saw-tooth blade, it is possible to slice without the need for crust freezing.
