How IQF works?

1 Preparation
Food items are cleaned, cut, or prepared as necessary.
2 Pre-cooling
The food is often pre-cooled before freezing to remove any heat and to ensure even freezing.
3 Flash Freezing
The items are spread out on a conveyor belt or trays, ensuring they do not touch each other. They are then subjected to a blast of extremely cold air, typically at temperatures well below -18°C (0°F). This rapid freezing process is crucial as it stops large ice crystals from forming.
4 Storage and Packaging
Once frozen, the items remain separate and free-flowing, making them easy to package, store, and measure out for later use.
