Spanish term

plaqueado

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Fisheries
Procesos operativos- Pesquería
Envasado y Plaqueado. Una vez que obtenemos el producto lavado, se procederá a realizar el envasado. Para el envasado del producto, hacemos uso de bandejas láminas plásticas de polietileno, entre otros, con el objetivo de proteger al producto de una posible quemadura frigorífica y contaminación, durante el congelamiento.
I am not sure if its plating in this case.
In the English version of the website the meaning of plaquetado is plating, but i could not find any results in Google relating to manufacturing process.

Thank you in advance.

While plaqueado appears in the heading, it's not mentioned in the text. What does the next sentence say?
It can't be plating. Could it mean fusing the pieces of plastic, or labelling?

loading trays onto freezer plates / shelves

It refers to the placing of the trays of fish in plate freezers (possibly where the 'plaqueado' term has originated from). I can't find an official term for this in English, anything I have found just gives a description of the process rather than a specific term, so the 'plating' in your English version may well be suitable.

"Plaqueado
A la pota se le coloca en láminas de polietileno de baja densidad de 1,2 milésimas de pulgada. Después, se colocan en unas bandejas de plástico para su traslado al congelado."

"Horizontal plate freezers are well suited for blocks of fillets, mince, or surimi, and for packages having predictable dimensions, rectangular shapes, and large, flat surfaces. Using surimi as an example, a typical 10 kg (22 pound) batch is metered into 2 or 3 mil polyethylene bags, with final block dimensions on the order of 2.25 × 12 × 23 inches. The end of the bag is then folded under the block, which is placed within an aluminum or stainless steel tray. After loading onto the plate freezer shelves, hydraulic rams press the upper shelf hard onto the package, with appropriate spacers to prevent crushing and to ensure uniform thickness of the frozen package"

agree neilmac : That's kind of what I meant by "layering" - on shelves or pallets.
