Grading and batching
MARINE
Custom grading solutions
Graders at sea require a solution with active motion compensation. This ensures accurate readings even on the roughest seas. Whether the product is whole fish, flat fish, or other, headed and gutted fish or fillets, each product has its own specification and requires a custom solution. As available space on a vessel is limited, MARELEC offers tailor-made designs that meet your requirements.

MARELEC has many years of experience in grading solutions on vessels. Factory trawlers, processing vessels or coastal fishing vessels – each boat or situation is unique. With its solid background and experience in grading systems, MARELEC can offer a wide range of solutions for the specific needs of each customer. MARELEC places a priority on openness with customers, in order to fulfil needs and expectations.
All grading systems consist of three important components:
- Infeed:
MARELEC offers a wide range of options for these systems. The right infeed system will be selected depending on the application (type of fish) and requested capacity, ergonomics, and preliminary stages in the production process. Various species selection systems are available, ranging from manual to fully automatic species recognition systems. - Weighing:
Fish products are mostly weighed dynamically. Precision and speed are the most important elements of the weighing system. MARELEC provides the right solution, depending on the dimensions and weights of the products. - Sorting and/or batching:
We can present a variety of solutions to you, depending on the type of fish products that need to be graded. The sorting systems we offer are not limited to pull or push arms (flippers), retract conveyors, etc. The sorting stations are fully customized to customers' specific needs. These stations can be equipped with (low angle) batching bins, presentation trays, tables, etc. Customized labels can be generated for each batch or tray by adding a label printer to the setup.
One or more take-away conveyors can be optionally used to transport the batches or trays to the following stage in the production process. The grading systems can be connected to the MATRIX software, which allows full integration and traceability in the production line.

MARELEC I Vision
Grading Solution
The MARELEC Intelligent Vision camera is able to distinguish different species using artificial intelligence. It can be used with a grader to automatically sort and weigh species. Automatic recognition of different species reduces human error to zero.
Key benefits
- Small footprint
- Fast recognition time
- Robust construction
- High accuracy
- Reduces labor
The MARELEC IV uses an intelligent algorithm to recognize different species of fish. The MARELEC IV is equipped with a camera that takes a picture. The pre-programmed software compares this picture to the different species stored in a database. When the software matches the picture to the correct species, the right information can be sent to a grader or another system to select or sort the fish.
