Processing plants
Machine rooms, climate-controlled processing rooms and chilled water for salmon processing. In Chile we took part in Australis's Dumestre plant.
Refrigeration for salmon farming
Cold from harvest to frozen fillet, preserving the freshness and quality of salmon at every stage of processing.

Understand the process.
Define the solution.
Salmon quality depends on how fast its temperature drops after harvest and on a process with no breaks in the cold chain. We design machine rooms, processing rooms and continuous freezing for salmon processing plants.
Applications and requirements
Chilling at harvest
Refrigerated seawater (RSW) systems to chill salmon at harvest and at plant reception.
Continuous freezing
Freezing tunnels for fillets and portions, at the pace of the processing line.
Documented experience
Engineering in practice.
Australis - Dumestre Plant
Industrial refrigeration for Australis at Dumestre plant
Engineering and refrigeration equipment for salmon processing at the Dumestre plant, from solution development through commissioning and technical assistance.

Decisions that guide the project
Your operational conditions define the design. These are the key aspects to review from the start.
- Harvest volume and reception hours
- Target temperatures for fresh and frozen product
- Product format: whole, fillet or portion
- Sanitary conditions, available space and planned expansions
Tell us what you need to solve.
What does your plant need to keep salmon in better condition?
To get started, you can share:
- The process or facility and its location.
- Current situation and project objective.
- Existing equipment and available operating data.
- Current stage and desired scope.
You do not need a complete RFP to start a conversation.
Tell us about your projectA clear scope,
from the beginning.
We can handle a single stage or integrate multiple disciplines. Frimont's scope of responsibility and deliverables are defined for each project.
