But the components, materials and operating systems were the subjects of constant innovation, which culminated in the intelligent design and advanced system control of today's freezing equipment, which ensure the highest standards of food safety and energy efficiency. The OctoFrost IQF tunnel freezer represents the latest innovation in IQF technology, being used by frozen food processors all over the world.

One of the main advantages that OctoFrost has to offer is the high air velocity systems that ensure optimal results in quick freezing even the most difficult products such as shrimp, vegetables, fruit, meat or even cheese and pasta. The high air velocity suspends the product in the cold air stream, ensuring perfect separation and avoiding the risk of forming lumps or blocks.

Another benefit of using the OctoFrost IQF tunnel freezer is the easier release for wet and sticky food products, thanks to its conveyor belt, built from food grade plastic. This way, the process of cleaning is much easier and more efficient. In addition, manual cleaning is no longer necessary thanks to the automatic Clean in Place system.

Unlike traditional methods of freezing, Individual Quick Freezing is more environmental-friendly, thanks to its energy efficient features. The OctoFrost IQF tunnel freezer has no impact on the ozone layer, as the gasses used as refrigerants are 100% natural, such as ammonia.

The high quality of the end products and food safety are important aspects for every frozen food processor, and the OctoFrost IQF tunnel freezer helps them meet these standards. Every product that enters the OctoFrost IQF tunnel freezer preserves its natural color and shape, thanks to a transparent and thin coat of ice that protects the surface of the product, maintaining its natural appearance and prolonging its shelf life.

The OctoFrost IQF tunnel freezer is designed as one hermetic unit that ensures minimum dehydration and prevents lump and block formation, while also maximizing the total yield. A higher yield means a greater quantity of high quality IQF products at a relatively low energy power consumption. The IQF technology of OctoFrost freezer boosts yield with at least 1,5 to 3%, while its optimal air flow pressure ratios ensure the lowest levels of dehydration as possible and maintain the snow formation level below 0,5%.

The advanced technical features of the OctoFrost IQF tunnel freezer represent the latest innovation in IQF technology, ensuring volumes between 500 and 15.000 kilograms per hour, even for delicate products such as berries or tropical fruit.

Taking into consideration all the benefits the IQF technology offers to frozen food processors, we make no mistake by stating that the OctoFrost IQF technology represents the latest innovations in mechanical freezing and is the optimal solution for vegetables, fruits and berries, meat and poultry, pasta dairy and grains.
