Freezing & Chilling at a glance
In the food industry, freezing usually refers to deep freezing, or lowering the temperature of a product below -18°C. In contrast, chilling refers to the rapid cooling of a food product from its manufacturing temperature down to refrigerated or cold temperatures, usually from 2 to 4°C.
Compared to traditional mechanical freezing and chilling technologies, cryogenic food refrigeration offers advantages in terms of product quality which is critical for added-value, complex or fragile products, and also in terms of improved productivity, greater process flexibility especially for small to medium production outputs, reduced capex requirements and optimizing cost initiatives.
