Frozen Storage (-18°C / -25°C)
Freezing is the solidification of the water contents of the products into large ice crystals by means of cooling below to freezing temperature. Freezing is necessary to store products to obtain extended shelf life as freezing inhibits growth of microorganisms. Frozen storage also known as freezer rooms where temperatures are set as -18°C / -21°C. During these temperatures the microbial growth of the products are totally stopped while enzymatic and non-enzymatic changes continue with a very slow rate.
The foods shall be preserved in freezer rooms (Deepfreeze Storage Rooms) after blast freezing process which is a quick-freezing carried out at -40oC. In the freezer rooms plenty different products are stored such as Frozen Fruits, Vegetables, Frozen Meats, Chicken, Fish and
Frozen Bakery, Frozen foods, etc. The recommended temperature for ice cream storage is -25°C while other products can be stored -18°C / -21°C. Frozen food varieties have increased in recent years and frozen storage warehouses are also becoming very common in all over the world.
It is important to calculate precisely the cooling load so that there will be no risk of thawing during storage. Our team consists of experienced engineers and we offer effective solutions to keep foods safely and hygienically stored.
APOLLO COLD builds frozen rooms for very different product types.
