Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) [ Return towards Food & Beverage ]

An application, perfectly suited to new eating habits.

As food and eating habits evolve, more and more IQF products are reaching the market.

These include ethnic foods such as rice, frozen ready-meals, shredded cheese, fruits, vegetables, meat balls, bacon bits, and much more. These products need appropriate cryogenic technologies, either in continuous mode, such as CRUST FLOW V™, or in batches, such as tumbler ZIP ROLL™.

Applications IQF Freezing can be used to complement other processes, such as:
- Freezing prior to coating (e.g. in Cryomix equipment)
- Freezing to preserve products before production of complex products (e.g. fruits before insertion in Yoghurt)
- Location upstream from a freezer to increase its production capacity
- Preparation of a smooth and clean surface before complete freezing
- Freezing of liquid or semi-liquid products in equipment as CURST FLOW V^TM- It can also be used for IQF sub-cooling of products prior to icing.
