The SCREW HARVESTOR is the optimum solution for fast, clean, and efficient harvest of shrimp and fish.

The Harvest is one the most intense task in aquiculture, and perhaps the riskiest one. Large crews of laborers are usually involved in the harvest; the products is exposed to deterioration due to the harvesting methods used, or to contamination for excessive handling. As a consequence of all these, the Aquiculture Industry and the International markets are beginning to apply rigorous quality standards for the handling of the product (HACCP Regulations).
