Fruit & Berries
Compared with traditional IQF technology (IQF-belt freezer with stainless steel or plastic belt), OctoFrost has proven following advantages:
Separation (IQF degree)
Perfect separation (no blocks or lumps) of extremely sticky products like banana slices and tropical fruits with high sugar content. Separation by air control only. No need for mechanical vibrators for separation.
Handling of delicate products
No damages on corners and no belt marks thanks to the unique air control with products frozen on a cushion of air.
Appearance - color
The OctoFrost freezing result in an appetizing natural color of the frozen product.
Appearence - shape
The true fluidised bed maintain the natural shape of the product. OctoFrost frozen products have higher volume to fill bags.
Yield
Extremely quick freezing of the surface on first bed reduces de-hydration to a minimum. Low or zero lumps keep yield to a maximum.
