Natural AppearanceFull control over the blanching temperature and time in the IF Blancher is important for avoiding over-blanching of sensitive products like cheese. With an efficient chilling below 5°C in the OctoFrost™ IF Chiller, good product separation is achieved in the OctoFrost IQF Freezer. Fully adjustable airflow in the OctoFrost™ IQF freezing tunnel and the gentle movement of the bedplates ensure no lumps of grains or damage to the products.

Energy EfficiencyThe rainshower and cross-flow systems, which are at the heart of the IF Blancher and Chiller, help achieve quickest heat transfer while the recirculation system optimizes water consumption. The frequency converters installed on each OctoFrost fan in the IQF tunnel contribute to significant energy savings. By decreasing the fan speed, overall energy savings can reach as high as 30% while preserving the product quality. |
