LABOR-SAVING IQF PROCESSING LINES
OctoFrost’s IQF Processing Lines for seafood, fruits and vegetables are designed for “no hand touch” after heat treatment. Green vegetables, many fruits, and raw seafood are either fully blanched or flash blanched with hot water to kill surface bacteria. The heat treatment is followed by a swift chilling to capture texture and color on products. OctoFrost’s IQF Processing Lines come in three models: the Universal Vegetable Line for most vegetables, including herbs and spinach; the Asparagus Line, where all belts are on the same level; and the Shrimp Cooker, Chiller and Freezer Line.
