The story behind OctoFrost's food processing technology

The final freezing result can be easily compromised if the food processing technology, besides the freezer, is not the right one for the job

 
Already making waves in the IQF freezer market, OctoFrost has sensed the value and the need of food processing companies to have a single supplier for a complete IQF processing line. This is because the final freezing result can be easily compromised if the food processing technology, besides the freezer, is not the right one for the job. This way of thinking stands behind OctoFrost's decision to aquire Innotec Systems, a Dutch company specialized in blanching, cooking and chilling. This way, the OctoFrost™ IQF Processing Line gives the processors an edge over their competition, by having a single supplier for the whole production line.

All of this is easily translated into three main advantages:

an optimized connection between the latest food processing technology and equipment
harmonized sizes of individual equipment;
one source responsibility for support and technical service.

The production line benefits the most from the newest food processing technology and equipment, such as the Impingement Flash (IF) Chiller, IF Cooker, IF Blancher IQF Tunnel Freezer, and other intermediate equipment, as needed by the processor. By using the latest food processing technology, each OctoFrost™ equipment is technologically sophisticated and built through continues development, while taking the customers' real needs into account.

The OctoFrost™ IF Chiller is based on a food processing technology that is thought to achieve a quick and uniform chilling. The ice water, with a temperature of 1 degree Celsius, immediately halts the cooking / blanching process and results in an infeed temperature lower than 5 degrees, which is a precondition for a higher capacity in the IQF freezer.

Guaranteeing the quickest heat transfer with the help of its rain shower system, which breaks the static layer of air surrounding the product, the OctoFrost™ IF Blancher and the IF Cooker are very much dependent on the food processing technology. This way, the rain shower system will allow an accurate temperature control, which in turn prevents the product from overcooking.

At this moment, the OctoFrost™ IQF tunnel freezer is already a big player on the market, being one of the most appreciated products in its category, thanks to the advanced food processing technology. Providing reliable food safety, a natural appearance of frozen products and high yield, while being energy efficient, OctoFrost™ makes for a very reliable IQF tunnel freezer.

What are the secrets behind this food processing technology? Firstly, its unique design and aerodynamics allow an adjustable airflow, which translates into more energy efficiency, as well as a well separated IQF product. Second, thanks to its exchangeable bedplates, coupled with an open and cleanable design, it ensures high standards of food safety.

OctoFrost is a company based in Malmo, Sweden, a country known for embracing environmentally friendly practices. This way, all its products are sustainable, reliable and user-friendly in the true Swedish spirit! These traits are the reason why the IQF tunnel freezer is a prime choice for producers in over 50 countries around the world, which rely on this food processing technology to freeze their vegetables, fruits, berries, seafood and more.

As you can see, the best way to get an edge over your competition is by having a fully customized processing line, coupled with the newest food processing technology available, for achieving the best IQF results.
