Benefits of OctoFrost IQF Cheese processing machine
Food safety is key for processors in the cheese and dairy industry. Having the most exigent food safety requirements in the food industry, dairy processors all around the world trust OctoFrost equipment for surpassing these requirements.
Natural Appearance
Full 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 Efficiency
The 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.
High Yield
Quick and efficient blanching and chilling, together with the unique aerodynamics of the OctoFrost™ Freezer, result into less snow formation when compared to other technologies, which means minimum dehydration and higher yield for the processor.
Food Safety
All OctoFrost equipment has easy-to-clean design for ensuring food safety. Every part of the blancher and chiller that comes in contact with the blanching and chilling water can be cleaned by CIP (Cleaning-In-Place). The free-standing body, lack of joints and exchangeable bedplates of the OctoFrost™ Freezer contribute even further to food safety for IQF dairy processors.
