ProPeeler ProPeeler: Enhanced shrimp peeling machine with full control and optimisation of the process to enable full automation of the shrimp peeling industry

Coordinator: MARTAK EHF (IS)

ProPeeler is an optimised peeling machine that will disrupt the current paradigm of the shrimp industry, one of the most popular seafood traded worldwide (20% of all seafood). Shrimp suppliers need solutions to increase their yields all while they reduce environmental footprint, improve the working conditions of their facilities, and ensure careful food safety and hygiene production while meeting growing demands. Automation has been one of the trends to respond to these growing pressures, evidenced by the fact that the processing equipment market is projected to surpass the €70 billion by 202…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €50k toward a total project budget of €71k — a funding rate of 70%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 0.2 years from 2018-09-01 to 2018-11-30.
