Shock Freezing Systems

Freeze Product Quality with the Freshness of the First Day

For businesses aiming for excellence in food safety and product quality, shock freezing (blast freezing) systems prevent the deterioration of the cell structure by reducing the core temperature of the product to -18°C and below in a very short time. Unlike standard freezing processes, shock freezing is the only way to preserve flavor, texture, and nutritional value.

WHAT IS A SHOCK FREEZING SYSTEM AND WHY IS IT NECESSARY? In a normal freezing process, the water inside the product freezes slowly and forms large ice crystals, which rupture the food’s texture. Rapid shock freezing, however, creates micro-crystals, thereby protecting the cellular structure of the product. The secret to fresh, high-quality products that do not release water when thawed lies in this technology.

SUPERIOR FEATURES OF OUR SHOCK FREEZING SYSTEMS

• Ultra-Fast Cooling: Heat transfer occurs at maximum speed thanks to high-airflow evaporators.

• Preservation of Nutritional Value: Minimizes the loss of vitamins, minerals, and aromas within the product.

• Hygiene and Safety: Elevates food safety to the highest level by quickly passing through critical temperature ranges for bacterial growth.

• High-Capacity Evaporators: High-performance fans with wide fin spacing, specially designed against frost formation during freezing.

TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE Our shock freezing systems are engineering marvels that provide uninterrupted performance even under the most demanding conditions.

• Two-Stage or Screw Compressors: Special motor structures that provide high efficiency at low evaporation temperatures.

• PLC-Controlled Monitoring: Probes that track the core temperature of the product and automatic process termination features.

• Fast Defrost: Optimized hot gas or electrical defrost solutions to maintain system efficiency.

• Floor Heating System: Special heating resistances that prevent floor freezing and cracking in shock rooms.

• Polyurethane Panels: Excellent insulation with 200 mm thick, high-density locked panel systems.

• Sealed Door Systems: Cold room doors with special gaskets and internal release safety features that prevent heat loss.

• Remote Monitoring: Instant monitoring of temperature values and alert notifications via smartphone or computer.

PRIMARY AREAS OF USE

• Meat and Poultry Facilities: Rapid freezing of fresh meat after slaughter.

• Fisheries and Seafood: Preserving the quality of seafood on vessels or in facilities.

• Bakery Products: Protecting the form of semi-baked or raw dough products.

• Fruit and Vegetable Processing: Preserving harvest freshness through freezing.

• Ready-to-Eat Food Industry: Quickly bringing cooked products down to safe temperatures.

WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE OUR SHOCK FREEZING SOLUTIONS? The shock freezing process requires precise airflow design, not just a powerful compressor. Our engineering team performs heat load calculations specific to the type and quantity of your product, designing the system that delivers the fastest results with the least energy.
