Benefits

Natural AppearanceThe efficient chilling below 5°C in the OctoFrost™ IF Chiller hault the blanching or cooking process immediately. This will preserve a superior quality of the processed product and will allow a quick crust-freezing in the OctoFrost IQF freezer. A low infeed product temperature is crucial for a high quality IQF product. |

Energy EfficiencyAs heat transfer is faster with water than with forced air or traditional counter-flow water chillers, the OctoFrost™ rainshower system in the IF Chiller achieves the fastest heat transfer. |

High YieldQuick chilling means higher yield as the blanching or cooking process is stopped and the products don’t become mushy or soft.the= efficient chilling with octofrost if chiller significantly improves yield in iqf freezing stage as well, by feeding-in a product very low core temperature (not more than 5°c). |

Reliable Food SafetyThe whole system, including the PHE and filter will remain below the critical 6°C to guarantee food safety. This means that the chiller can run non-stop, without the need for a water change, until the end of the production day. |
LOW CHILLING TEMPERATURE
The water in the OctoFrost IF Chiller is filtered, recirculated and then chilled by the plate heat exchanger (PHE). The PHE provides ice-cold water with a temperature of 1°C. The system is designed to reach a product core temperature of 5°C or less. The water falls gently over the product by means of gravitation only, therefore product quality is not compromised. A low product core temperature translates in better IQF freezing result and a higher yield.
OCTOFROST™ CROSS-FLOW
The OctoFrost™ cross-flow water system results in the quickest possible chilling of the product. The high volume of filtered and recirculated 1°C water is distributed evenly across the whole width and length of the chiller; deluging the product and immediately exiting the chiller to be re-chilled by the PHE. The temperature increase of the water after passing through the product does not exceed 4°C, requiring little energy for re-chilling. The water flowing through the chiller has the exact same temperature in every part of the IF Chiller.
KEY BENEFITS IF CHILLER:
- The temperature of the chiller water is between 1° and 2°C in every position in the IF Chiller;
- Cross-flow water circulation
- Quicker chilling process which improves yield and product quality;
- System temperature in the IF Chiller is below 6°C for reliable food safety;
- The fastest heat transfer due to the high volume of 1°C ice-cold water and the impingement flash (IF) technology, compared to any other system available;
- High volume of recirculated water over the product;
- CIP system in place;
