Facilities Refrigeration Solutions

Horizontal and vertical plate freezing offers many benefits for block freezing raw and packaged products with direct contact heat exchange. Ammonia is the most common refrigerant used, which circulates through stainless steel plates. This rapidly and efficiently freezes products to the desired temperature.

Chillflow’s refrigeration expertise and experience give you peace of mind knowing that your products remain in the best possible condition. Our installations offer you the means to freeze products on demand and ensure safety — therefore increasing the productivity and efficiency of your daily operations.

Spiral Freezers utilise a 360-degree freezing process, which freezes the entire surface quickly and efficiently while maintaining the original freshness, texture and flavour of the products you preserve. At Chillflow Solutions, we believe that our services should never sacrifice quality or practicality.

Another vital benefit of Spiral Freezers is that the design of the bed allows the continuous freezing of large quantities without the need to dominate floor space. Sacrificing floor space can impact your other processes and operations. With a Spiral Freezer, you can maximise floor space while enjoying the benefits of high-quality refrigeration.

When freezing food or other products, the water inside crystallises and turns into ice. The longer this process takes, the larger the ice crystals become. Large ice crystals can cause phenomena like cell bursting. This damage can affect the flavour and quality of stored food. As a business, this can be a severe concern for brand reputation and reliability if issues impact your daily operations.

Blast freezers freeze products quickly by rapidly dropping the temperature to as low as -40C. This results in smaller ice crystals that cause less damage to the product. This flash freezing method is one of the safest and most effective ways to prevent bacterial growth while maintaining product freshness and nutritional value.

A cold room is a building or warehouse that uses refrigeration solutions to reach a desired, often essential temperature and has insulation to maintain it. Many businesses also use cold rooms as a constant temperature and humidity storage room for foods, liquid, chemical, pharmaceutical, vaccine, scientific experiments and other items.

If you want to know more about cold rooms and freezer rooms and how they can help meet your business’s specific needs, please get in touch today. Our team can help you identify what you need to achieve your goals and utilise our specialist expertise to enhance your organisation with bespoke facilities engineering solutions.

The most common ice handling machine used in food processing factories is the flake ice machine. It drains water over a refrigerant-flooded generator, which freezes in the cylinder at an evaporation temperature of -12 to -30 ° C. A rotating screw inside the cylinder breaks the ice off the generator wall into the ice bunker.

Ice handling equipment is among the best solutions if you hope to refrigerate perishables where long-term freshness and visual appeal are priorities. With designs and capacities to suit many different needs, they are often the go-to choice for fisheries, food processing and industrial plants. It is an effective means to prevent products such as fish and seafood from spoiling due to its uniform cooling.
