Many species of fish, including salmon, suffer from serious quality loss if stressed during the harvest process prior to slaughtering.  As a consequence Baader offers one of the most humane and efficient method for stunning and bleeding, utilizing percussive stunning and bleeding technology.
                   

Low stress harvesting ensures:

• Higher flesh quality in the harvested fish reduces flesh gaping and blood spotting in filets.
• Longer pre-rigor time - up to 20 hours
• Up to 20 – 30% shelf-life improvement   
• Improved processing efficiency by reducing wastage when fish are machine processed (gutting, heading, skinning and filleting)       

With the integration of Seafood Innovations into the Baader Group, a new business subsidiary was formed, BAADER SI. As a result, the previous “flagship” and industry standard, the SI7C combination stunner and bleeder, was morphed into the BAADER 101.

The BAADER 101 has been further developed as a central platform machine to handle a range of fish sizes and species. These machines are electronically controlled by a central PLC, which facilitates rapid changes of the electronic settings controlling the speed and adjustment of the machines to the size of the fish. Baader research and development ensures that the path of harvest excellence continues to evolve.
