Freezing and Tempering

Freezing

We can freeze your product using several different methods, depending on your requirements. This includes  blast freezing, chamber freezing, or plate freezing. 

High-quality blast freezing tunnels are available across our network, with the capacity to blast freeze over 4,000 tonnes per week. Our specially designed blast tunnels rapidly bring your product to frozen temperature, minimising product crystallisation and ensuring superior product quality. Several of these tunnels can also accommodate specialised commodities such as hanging meat. We also have plate freezing capability, such as at our Tønsberg site and across Denmark. This enables rapid freezing of blocks or trays of product straight from production, allowing product to be densely stacked within the warehouse. Other freezing methods, such as spiral or carton freezing, are available on request.

Tempering

We have industry-leading tempering capability across our network. This enables you to safely defrost your product for further processing or distribution.

Our tempering tunnels are programmed to ensure product quality is retained through the defrosting cycle. Product is brought up to a chilled temperature in a controlled manner, minimising drip loss by circulating forced air through the tunnel. We also specialise in advanced tempering for the dairy industry, providing optimal defrosting cycles for butter and other commodities. 

When you need your product defrosted quickly, we can also offer specialised tempering services such as cutting-edge microwave tempering, enabling rapid and reliable defrosting of product with a uniform temperature throughout the product and minimal drip loss. 

Our tempering services can cater to various product types, including palletised, boxed, hanging meat, and unpackaged items.
