Optimar Electric Stunner - the most effective and humane way to stun

“The electrical stunning system made by Optimar can be used as part of a commercially viable slaughter system. The system allows for a more humane slaughter than the traditional method of chilling in ice slurry without pre-stunning and also has product quality benefits. The system can also be operated with less staff and is easier to use in bad weather conditions”.

“We are very happy to work with this machine. We use it for the processing of our Claresse (catfish) from our own farm. Compared to other methods like on ice or bleeding to death, this is the perfect way for us to process. Because the fish experiences no stress which results in a better fish meat quality. It makes no sense for us to put a lot of effort and love into farming the fish in a good and sustainable way and then at the end, process the fish in a wrong way. With this stunning there is no stress = good quality”.
