Indonesian Listed Seafood Company Achieves 10x Shrimp Processing Efficiency with a Full Machine Line

Case Study: Indonesian Listed Seafood Company Achieves 10x Shrimp Processing Efficiency

Between 2010 and 2015, a publicly listed shrimp processing company in Indonesia partnered with us to install a complete set of shrimp processing machines. The project transformed their operations, lifting output, reducing costs, and improving processing efficiency to roughly ten times the previous level, with a highly satisfied customer.

Client Background

The client is a listed seafood enterprise in Indonesia, one of the region's major shrimp and prawn producing markets. Serving both domestic and export channels, the company required equipment that could handle large volumes reliably while meeting international food-safety and hygiene standards.

The Challenge

As global shrimp demand grew, the customer's manual processing could not keep pace. Labor costs were rising, throughput was limited, and maintaining consistent quality across large batches became increasingly difficult. They needed a scalable, automated solution that could support long-term growth.

• Limited throughput during peak season
• High and rising labor costs
• Inconsistent quality across large batches
• Growing pressure to meet export hygiene standards

Our Solution: A Complete Shrimp Processing Line

We delivered a full suite of shrimp processing machinery, integrating deheading, head removal, head-and-body separation, and supporting line equipment into a single, continuous workflow. Built from food-grade stainless steel, the line was configured to match the client's capacity, product mix, and factory layout.

Results: 10x Efficiency and Meaningful Cost Savings

After installation, the customer's processing capacity expanded dramatically. The automated line delivered roughly ten times the efficiency of the previous manual process, while reducing reliance on labor and improving product consistency across batches.

• Processing efficiency increased to about 10 times the original level
• Significantly lower labor cost per tonne processed
• Higher, more stable output to meet peak-season demand
• Improved hygiene and quality consistency for export markets

Client Feedback

The client reported excellent results and expressed strong satisfaction with both the equipment performance and the ongoing technical support delivered throughout and after the project. The partnership laid a solid foundation for the customer's continued expansion in the seafood processing sector.

Conclusion

This engagement demonstrates how a complete, well-integrated shrimp processing line can deliver lasting value for large-scale seafood processors. We continue to support seafood manufacturers worldwide with reliable, certified equipment and dependable after-sales service.
