Protein and Feed

Plant engineering for fishmeal, fish oil, and feed production

Héðinn designs, fabricates, supplies, and services protein and feed plants, covering fishmeal, fish oil, feed production, and aquaculture with innovative approach

Protein And Feed Plants

One engineering partner across the protein and feed value chain

Héðinn works across the full protein and feed value chain, from process design and equipment supply to fabrication, installation, and long-term service. Our customers have trusted us with their needs for decades with good results.

Single point of responsibility matters when a plant has to be delivered on schedule, run reliably, and be kept in production for decades. Héðinn brings process knowledge, workshop capacity, and field service together rather than splitting a project across disconnected suppliers.

Capabilities

Where Héðinn works in protein and feed

Design, equipment supply, fabrication, and service for the plants that turn raw material into protein and feed.

Turn-key deliveries, expansions, and targeted upgrades for producers in Iceland and abroad.

30%
less energy versus conventional processing

With our solutions we reduce energy consumption significantly and secure best utilization of raw material.

3,200 t/day
maximum plant capacity delivered

We design plants with 6 t/day to 3,200 t/day capacity.

1936
First Fishmeal plant built by Héðinn

Long history of innovative solutions for the fishmeal industry has placed us as a leading company in our field.

Full Lifecycle Support

From concept design to a running plant with focus on utilization

A protein or feed plant is a long-term investment, and Héðinn supports it through its whole life. Early in a project the team can help define process flow, equipment selection, and layout. During construction it fabricates and installs the steelwork, equipment and control systems.

Once a plant is in production, we provide long time services and secure that energy and raw material is utilized fully. Keeping design, fabrication, and service under one roof shortens lead times when a plant needs to get into production quickly.
