An IQF tunnel freezer, Individual Quick Freezing, has been developed to freeze products quickly and individually. A powerful and precisely controlled cold air flow freezes each product individually.
This keeps the products separate from one another and preserves their original shape, structure and quality.
Unique air technology for perfect separation of products
Our IQF tunnel freezers are distinguished by a smart air distribution system that directs cold air from below the conveyor belt through the product. This upward airflow ensures that products are blown apart during the freezing process and remain circulating.
This results in optimal individual freezing without products freezing together. The controlled airflow prevents damage, clumping or deformation and ensures constant product quality, even for fragile products.
Preservation of structure, appearance and efficiency
Due to the rapid freezing process, smaller ice crystals are formed. This ensures that the product’s natural structure, flavor, and texture are better preserved. This results in less moisture loss after thawing and a better final product for the consumer.
Applications
IQF tunnel freezers are extremely suitable for, among other things:
- Vegetables and fruit
- Fish and seafood
- Meat products
- Snacks and finger food
- Pasta and rice products
- Vegetable and vegetarian products
Efficient, hygienic and fully adapted to your production process
Our IQF solutions combine high capacity with optimal product handling. The efficient air circulation ensures uniform freezing, low energy consumption and a reliable process within the high hygiene standards of the food industry.
Van Abeelen develops IQF tunnel freezers completely tailored to your product, capacity and quality objectives. We design a freezing solution that ensures maximum performance and a consistently high-quality end product.
