Common Challenges and Solutions for Customers in Quick Freezing Processing

In the modern food industry, quick freezing has become a crucial step in maintaining food freshness, extending shelf life, and enhancing export competitiveness. However, in actual production, companies often encounter challenges. This article analyzes common issues based on industry practices and provides corresponding solutions.

Challenge 1: Difficulty Maintaining Food Quality and Taste

Many customers experience a loss of taste or weight loss or dripping of food after thawing during the quick freezing process.

Solution:

Using low-temperature, high-humidity quick freezing technology can quickly lower the core temperature of food while locking in moisture and nutrients.

Using uniform cold air or contact freezing ensures that every piece of meat, seafood, or fruit is frozen quickly and evenly.

For products that easily lose water, ice packing can be used before quick freezing to further minimize weight loss and preserve color and taste.

Challenge 2: Insufficient Production Efficiency and Capacity

As order volumes increase, traditional quick freezing equipment may be unable to meet high production demands, leading to production line bottlenecks.

Solution:

Using a tunnel freezer or spiral freezer allows for high-capacity, continuous production, with higher efficiency than traditional freezers.

Equipped with an automated conveying system, the entire process from feeding, freezing, to discharging is automated, reducing manual labor and improving production stability.

Customizing freezing solutions based on product characteristics allows for flexible switching between different specifications and production volumes.

Challenge 3: High Energy Consumption and High Operating Costs

Refrigeration equipment operates for extended periods, consuming high energy, and operating costs are a key concern for businesses.

Solution:

Using high-efficiency, energy-saving compressors and environmentally friendly refrigerants improves cooling efficiency while reducing energy consumption.

Configuring an intelligent temperature control system adjusts the cooling air volume and temperature based on actual production needs, avoiding unnecessary energy waste.

Regularly maintain and clean the equipment to ensure heat exchange efficiency and system stability.

Challenge 4: Cold Chain Safety and Food Hygiene

Food is susceptible to microbial contamination and temperature fluctuations during freezing, transportation, and storage, impacting safety and quality.

Solution:

Design standardized cold room to ensure controlled temperature and humidity and avoid temperature fluctuations.

Establish a comprehensive cold chain management system, monitoring the entire process from production to distribution to ensure food safety.
