DX Booster System

A configuration designed for applications that demand high efficiency and precise control across multiple temperature levels. It supports optimized system operation and adapts to projects where performance, stability, and operating flexibility are critical.

IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) System

Freezing bulk strawberries requires a precise process that protects product quality from the outset. Rapid, uniform cooling prevents clumping, maintains natural texture, and preserves product properties throughout storage and distribution.

For this application, priorities include minimizing product loss, maintaining an appealing presentation, and ensuring reliable performance in high-volume, high-turnover operations.

Beneficios clave

Preserves product shape, texture,
and quality

Uniform freezing at high volumes

Greater operating efficiency
in industrial processes

Cold-chain stability
and reliability

Plate Freezer System and CO₂ Compression System

Freezing avocado pulp requires strict process control to preserve its color, texture, and natural properties. Because the product is sensitive to oxidation and temperature fluctuations, efficient, uniform cooling is essential to maintain quality from processing through final consumption.

This application requires reliable systems that deliver uniform freezing, optimize storage space, and support continuous high-volume industrial operation.

Beneficios clave

Preserves product shape, texture,
and quality

Uniform freezing in blocks or defined formats

Reduced oxidation and property loss

Optimized storage space

Greater stability and efficiency
in industrial operation

Low-Charge Ammonia System

For pre-cooling fruits and vegetables, a low-charge ammonia system rapidly reduces product temperature and preserves freshness from the source. It provides uniform cooling, minimizes product loss, and maintains quality through storage and distribution with high operating efficiency.

Beneficios clave

Rapid, uniform cooling

Extended shelf life

Reduced product loss

Efficient, reliable operation
