Scottish Sea Farms
Addfield supply a Mobile Aquaculture machine that
enables the farming of fish to be sustainable.
The Challenge
The challenge was to build a bespoke aquaculture incineration machine for Scottish Sea Farms.
Being located in Northern Scotland means that the working environment is arduous and challenging, so Scottish Sea Farms need its equipment to withstand testing climates.
Incineration is regarded as a premium defence against the spread of disease, enabling the customer to control their own biosecurity and movement of waste.
Addfield is renowned for making robust, reliable and efficient incinerators which are specifically designed for the aqua industry. This is why Scottish Sea Farms have chosen us as their suppliers.
The Importance of Incineration
- It is a legal requirement that incineration or pressure sterilisation is used to dispose of category 1 animal by-products – including raw fish.
- The odour of rotting fish on a large scale would be repulsive, and throwing dead fish back into the sea would conflict with biosecurity measures.
- Incineration with an Addfield incinerator stops this by making certain that all waste products are firmly sealed within the incinerator until the operative turns it on. The high efficiency of the incinerators means that the operation is virtually smokeless and odourless.

A sloping refractory floor to allow continual waste contact with burners, a ‘full load’ line and direct burning flames are only a few key features that we have installed to maximise the efficiency of each machine.
