Transcritical spiral freezers for Franco Fresco

Franco Fresco, known for frozen pizzas under the name Gustavo Gusto, wanted to further professionalize the freezing process. For frozen pizzas, this process determines the quality of the final product. The structure of the crust, the toppings, and the flavor must be preserved once the product is frozen.

Van Abeelen Food Processing Technology realized this for Franco Fresco three transcritical spiral freezers and three coolers. This gave the production line the capacity and reliability needed to process frozen pizzas on a large scale.

Freezing capacity while maintaining product quality

This application is not just about quick freezing. The product must move through the process evenly, without loss of quality and without disrupting the line. That is why the requirements, the production flow, and the desired end result were carefully examined in the preliminary phase.
