IQF Frost Octofrost IQF freezer

The OctoFrost IQF (individually quick frozen) freezer has a mono-block design and easy interior access for cleaning. It has been equipped with air knives that blow high-pressure air in the coil during production, to help keep the coil free from product particles, prevent it from building up snow and optimise run time between defrost. To decrease downtime and speed up the cleaning process, more spray nozzles for warm water have been installed.

Inside the freezers, the removable bedplates have a click design that will significantly decrease handling time for the plant staff. Energy-friendly LED lights have also been installed to improve cleaning inside the freezer.

The octagonal design and aerodynamics of the freezer make it suitable for high capacity per hour, with lower energy consumption than similar products on the market, according to the company. A dry air infusion system has been installed in the operating panel, lights and motors, eliminating condensation due to the variation of temperature in the freezer. Additionally, the freezer has been reinforced with stronger fins in the coil and an anti-slip shockproof floor.

To address the challenge of quick-freezing sticky products, the freezer uses a combination of vibrating product beds and a pulsator. The pulsator will use the fan’s capacity to pulse the air to separate the fruit dices.
