This is the latest in our comprehensive range of machines designed to turn foul dead fish into sweet smelling silage. The Minimort ensiler has a 300 litre stainless steel tank housing a purpose made shaft-driven cutter driven by a 4kW three phase motor. A contactor with built-in motor protection overload is mounted on a bracket on the top. The ensiler is designed to sit on a small pallet.

The fish hatch is large enough to take a bucket full of morts without risk of spillage and has an interlocking switch attached to the hinge pin, so that when the hatch lid is open, the motor is isolated from the electrical supply and will not run.

An acid pump is mounted on the side of the tank and connects via a short hose. For safety reasons, a specially made plastic shroud covers the outside of the pump, so that in the unlikely event of a punctured diaphragm, the acid will be caught by the shroud.* The pump's suction hose is connected to the acid container by a 1" hose, camlock coupling and 2" screwed fitting.

Emptying the unit is simple. Un-plug the power supply and raise the Minimort with a fork lift to allow the outlet to empty into a storage vessel. The outlet is fitted with a bronze 2” gate valve.

For sites lacking three phase power, we offer the option of either a phase converter to give you a three phase supply from a single phase source, or a hydraulic powered machine. We can supply the complete package of phase converter and ensiler for a shore base, or power pack and ensiler, giving you a go-anywhere unit for use on a raft, a barge or a remote shore base.

*Recommended personal protective equipment must always be worn when working with hazardous chemicals.
