Cryogenic freezing for small fragile foods
Quickly freeze delicate food items with precision using advanced cryogenic immersion, ensuring individual pieces remain separate and intact.
Freezes and Processes Delicate Foods Efficiently
The Cryo Immersion Unit – CFV from The SERAP Group, designed in partnership with AIR LIQUIDE, revolutionizes the freezing process for fragile foods in the frozen food industry. Utilizing liquid nitrogen in a vibrating trough, it performs continuous crust-freezing, ensuring that products like grated cheese, diced fruits, and minced meats achieve individual quick freezing (IQF) without sticking. With a processing capacity ranging from 300 to 2,000 kg/hour and a compact footprint of under 3m², it integrates seamlessly into your production line. Built with AISI 304 stainless steel to adhere to European standards, this unit guarantees durability and corrosion resistance. The CFV’s design supports easy maintenance and cleaning, enhancing operational efficiency while reducing downtime. Perfect for food processing companies, ready-to-eat meal manufacturers, and meat processing facilities, the Cryo Immersion Unit – CFV promises precision in every batch.
