Our Process
How We Produce Premium Fishmeal & Fish Oil
Our Process
At Alpha Fishco L.L.C., every stage of production is precisely managed to ensure superior quality, freshness, and sustainability. Our process follows international standards, combining advanced technology with strict quality control.
01
Reception & Storage
Fresh fish are landed daily at Al Wusta and Al Sharqiya coasts. They are immediately inspected, weighed, and stored under hygienic, temperature-controlled conditions to maintain maximum freshness before processing.
02
Cooking
The fish are carefully steam-cooked at controlled temperatures to sterilize and separate the solid and liquid components. This process ensures consistent texture and prepares the material for efficient oil extraction.
03
Pressing
Cooked fish are pressed using high-efficiency equipment to extract liquid from the solid portion. The solid press cake moves to drying, while the extracted liquid is collected for oil and stickwater recovery.
04
Decanting & Centrifugation
The press liquid is decanted and centrifuged to separate pure fish oil from stickwater. The recovered oil is refined and stored, while the stickwater continues through additional concentration stages.
05
Evaporation
Stickwater undergoes multi-stage evaporation to recover valuable soluble proteins and nutrients. This concentrated material is later blended with the meal to improve nutritional value and consistency.
06
Drying & Cooling
The press cake is steam-dried to achieve the optimal moisture level of ≤10%. It is then cooled under controlled airflow to preserve quality, prevent oxidation, and prepare for further handling.
07
Grinding & Screening
The dried meal is ground and screened into a uniform fine powder. This step ensures even particle size, improved digestibility, and consistency for aquaculture, poultry, and pet feed applications.
08
Packaging & Storage
The finished fishmeal and fish oil are packed in moisture-proof bags and sealed containers. All products are stored in a clean, temperature-controlled warehouse for global shipment and long-term freshness.
Commitment to Clean Production
All process equipment and working areas are cleaned daily to maintain strict hygiene standards. Our dedicated logistics team ensures timely transport and reliable delivery to partners across global markets.
