Benefits

Good separation and food safety is the top priorities for processors in the pasta and grains industries. OctoFrost equipment is trusted to successfully serve these priorities by biggest producers on these markets.

Natural Appearance

The full control over the blanching temperature and time in the IF Blancher is important for avoiding overblanching …of sensitive products like pasta and grains. Further on, with an efficient chilling below 5°C in the OctoFrost™ IF Chiller a good product separation is achieved in the OctoFrost IQF freezer. The fully adjustable airflow in the OctoFrost™ IQF freezing tunnel and the gentle movement of the bedplates ensure no lumps of grains, and no damage of the pasta products.

Food Safety

All OctoFrost equipment has easy-to-clean design for a reliable food safety. Every part of the blancher and chiller which comes …in contact with the blanching and chilling water can be cleaned by CIP (Cleaning-In-Place). The free-standing body, lack of joints and exchangeable bedplates of the OctoFrost™ freezer contribute even further to a truly reliable food safety for IQF pasta and grains processors.

High Yield

The quick and efficient blanching and chilling together with the unique aerodynamics of the OctoFrost™ freezer, …result into less snow formation when compared to other technologies, which means minimum dehydration and higher yield for the processor.

Energy Efficiency

The rainshower and cross-flow systems which are at the heart of the IF Blancher and Chiller help achieve… the quickest heat transfer while the recirculation system optimizes water consumption. The frequency converters installed on each OctoFrost fan in the IQF tunnel, translates in significant energy savings. By decreasing the fans’ speed, the overall energy savings can reach as high as 30% while preserving the product quality.

Testimonials

Product separation is perfect and can´t be better. We have nearly no lumps – even on difficult and sensible products. There is nearly no dehydration of the product because of that there´s 70 % less snow in freezer and therefore 25 % longer operation hours (with one set of bedplates).
