New technology for blast freezing – QFR

The QFR system is a new technology using in-room refrigeration equipment to freeze the product faster than traditional methods. This method reduces the energy requirements of added refrigeration equipment. The racking is also traditional racking, so if freezing is not required, the locations may be utilized for storage of product.

Blast freezing of product usually is done in a small room with large amounts of refrigeration equipment and fans blowing freezing air at -40C. The QFR system is a new technology using in-room refrigeration equipment to freeze the product faster than traditional methods.

The racking is also traditional racking, so if freezing is not required, the locations may be utilized for storage of product.

Some plus points for installation –

  1. Significantly improved airflow
  2. Dramatically lower labor costs
  3. Faster product turns
  4. Easy access to product when freezing is complete
  5. Better utilization of floor space
  6. Lower capital cost on installation
  7. All product on a pallet is frozen at the same speed
  8. Runs on less horsepower
  9. Can be used for pallet storage when quick freezing is not required
  10. Continuous freezing capabilities, no more batch cycles
