Transcritical spiral freezers for Franco Fresco
Franco Fresco, known for his frozen pizza under the name Gustavo Gusto, wanted to further professionalize the freezing process. For frozen pizzas, this process is crucial to the quality of the final product. The structure of the base, toppings, and flavor must remain consistent once the product is frozen.
Van Abeelen Food Processing Technology realized 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
With this application, it’s not just about quick freezing. The product must pass through the process uniformly, without loss of quality and without disrupting the line. Therefore, the initial steps involved a thorough examination of the requirements, the production flow and the desired end result.
