Dispatches from Pack Expo
GEA
GEA Refrigeration North America showcased faster freezing of flat food products at Pack Expo.
Its High-velocity freezers (HVF) can freeze hamburger patties and other flat food products and the throughput time is shorter than conventional systems with its high-velocity air nozzles for fast penetration of the boundary layer of goods to be frozen.
The benefits to food processors include higher food quality, less cellular damage, longer shelf life, shorter freezing time, 10 to 15% greater production capacity, and greater yields.
