OctoFrost
For food manufacturers seeking reliable food safety, long run times and high yields from their plant equipment, IQF Frost presented its new individually quick frozen freezer OctoFrost.
Hygienic design is a key feature of this machine, as its mono-block design and easy interior access make it simple and quick to clean.
It has been equipped with air knives that blow high pressure air in the coil during production, helping to keep the freezer coil free of food particles and preventing it from building up snow. The features are also intended to reduce defrost times.
More spray nozzles have been installed to decrease down time and speed up cleaning. Other aspects include energy-friendly LED lights to improve visibility for cleaning inside the freezer. In addition, vibrating product beds and a gadget to pulsate the air have been incorporated to prevent quick freezing sticky products from clumping.
IQF Frost claimed the system consumed 10% less energy than similar products, with its octagonal, aerodynamic design making freezing and its hourly capacity more efficient.
