Ultra-fast freezing

IQF for best product quality

IQF stands for Individually Quick Frozen. This term is widely used in the food processing industry for the individual and quick freezing of products, such as fish, vegetables, meat, pizzas, French fries and other convenience products. At Equans, we use the IQF freezer to maintain the quality and freshness of your products.

No product damage

With IQF freezing technology, your products remain in perfect condition during the freezing process and are not damaged. By freezing them quickly and individually, the ice crystals are smaller than when several products are frozen at the same time. This ensures that the frozen product remains intact during the icing process. Products retain their volume and stay fresh for longer.

Customised solution and natural refrigerants

To make the best use of the available space in your company, Equans offers you a tailor-made IQF freezer. We integrate it perfectly into the current production process so that you can benefit from an optimal freezing process. Our freezers use natural refrigerants. With this, you make a demonstrable contribution to a more sustainable food chain and ensure the continuity of your business.

Most sustainable way of freezing

When freezing products, it is imperative to use a fast and cold airflow. Blowing a significant amount of cold air past the product quickly removes heat from the product and this can be captured with a heat pump to be reused in processes that require heat. Waste heat from the cold storage can also be reused. Equans provides technology that captures and reutilises heat in other processes. With considerable energy savings and the use of natural refrigerants, IQF freezing is the most sustainable method for freezing.
