Krustafish is one of Argentina's largest salmon importers. The company also operates under the brand name Superbe, a leading supplier of salmon to major supermarket chains across Argentina.

Krustafish has more than 20 years of experience in the salmon industry and is strongly committed to delivering products of the highest quality to consumers.

The challenge

Applying salt by hand made it difficult to achieve consistent results across fillets of different sizes and thicknesses. Uneven salt distribution could lead to oversalting, variations in product quality, and longer curing times. Excess salt also had to be rinsed off before further processing, which added unnecessary handling, additional production steps, and extra time to the workflow.

Krustafish needed a solution that could deliver precise, uniform salting while automating production and reducing its reliance on manual processes.

In the search for the best solution, Uni-Food Technic's Dry Salting and Spice Applicator was the obvious choice.

The solution

Krustafish and Uni-Food Technic have had a strong partnership for many years.

Krustafish is recognized for its continuous development of new products. The company also consistently invests in innovative technologies that support product development, helping it maintain its leading market position while ensuring the production of high-quality salmon products at competitive prices.

The Dry Salting and Spice Applicator fits perfectly with this strategy.

The intelligent machine replaces manual, uneven salt and spice application with an automated system that ensures consistent flavor, precise dosing, and minimal waste.

The machine’s intelligent system automatically adjusts salt and spice application according to each fillet's thickness, length, and size across eight dosing zones, ensuring highly precise flavoring, premium product quality, and excellent taste.

"Over the years, we have invested in several technologies from Uni-Food Technic, including pin bone remover, slicing machine, skinning machine, and filleting machine. Choosing another solution from Uni-Food Technic was therefore a natural and wise decision," says Fabian Zeller, CEO of Krustafish SA. 

The result

The Dry Salting and Spice Applicator helps Krustafish continue producing and delivering some of the finest salmon products on the market.

The investment represents the next step in Krustafish's strategy to strengthen its market position and secure future-ready production.

For Krustafish, the machine is another important step toward establishing a more automated production line, with a strong focus on operator ergonomics, streamlined workflows, hygienic design, and ease of cleaning.
