Individual Quick Freezers (IQF)—Straight and Spiral Belt
Quick freezing is an effective food preservation method. When the food temperatures hover between 10°C and 70°C, food safety can be compromised by the proliferation of bacteria, oxidation and evaporation. With a quick freezing process, you can maintain the product’s core temperature, preserving its quality, colour, aroma, flavor and extending shelf life. Since with the IQF, the products are frozen individually, separate from the others, it is well-suited for preserving smaller food items including ready-to-eat (cooked) food items, fruits, vegetables, pasta, and many more.
