Icelandic fish processor boosts hygiene and efficiency

Meat & Fish Products

Customer story

Operating in one of the world’s most demanding environments, Vísir continuously strives to maintain the highest food safety and quality standards.

To support this ambition, the company partnered with Habasit to upgrade its conveyor systems, unlocking new levels of hygiene, efficiency, and reliability.

The challenge

In fish processing, moisture, salt, and organic residues create tough conditions. Cleaning conveyors was time-consuming, water-intensive, and caused production downtime, while hygiene risks remained critical. Every fillet and portion must meet strict hygiene and quality requirements.

"Even though conveyor belts are a small part of our factory, they come into contact with all of our fish."

Eggert Daði Pálsson, Chief Engineer, Vísir

Problem solvers at Vísir

By combining Habasit’s hygienic conveyor expertise with Vísir’s long-standing know-how in seafood processing, the two companies demonstrate how tradition and innovation can work side by side. To address Visir’s challenges, Habasit proposed:

M2960 Super HyCLEAN - best hygienic performance in the market
Cleandrive - solid, smooth-surface monolithic belts reinforced with aramid cords

Results

The partnership delivered significant and lasting improvements:

Improved hygiene - nonporous surfaces reduce contamination risks
Reduced cleaning time - faster sanitation increases uptime
Water savings - more efficient cleaning supports sustainability goals
Operational reliability - more efficient cleaning supports sustainability goals
