Frozen food products control system
Ensure optimal freezing precision with a system that continuously monitors product crystallization levels, automatically adjusting parameters to achieve desired frozen states while minimizing energy usage.
Monitors and Calibrates Freezer Conditions
The GEA Callifreeze Freezer Control System is a cutting-edge solution designed to enhance the freezing process across a range of food applications, including meat, poultry, fish, ready meals, bakery, and dairy products. This system sets itself apart by utilizing GEA’s unique inline sensing technology to monitor the level of crystallization in products exiting the freezer, ensuring precise control of freezer parameters. This real-time monitoring allows for automatic adjustments to air temperature, retention time, and fan speed, optimizing energy use and freezing efficiency.
Typically applied in producing items like chicken nuggets, fish fillets, and frozen pizzas, the Callifreeze system boosts production capacity by up to 20% while cutting energy consumption by 10%. This significantly enhances product quality and offers seamless integration into existing spiral freezers, whether GEA or OEM systems, providing a versatile solution for food processors seeking to maximize efficiency and quality in their operations.
