OCTOFROST IQF TECHNOLOGY SAVES YOU MONEY, HELPS GROW THE ECONOMY AND IS GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Energy consumption is an essential element in development. Though increased energy use clearly has its benefits, it also generally implies higher than necessary operating costs put on the bill of the end consumers. For a company, higher energy efficiency will reduce operating costs and enhance profitability, thus making room for continuous economic development.

The frozen foods industry is growing and the demand for frozen foods is following the trend of convenience, quality, sustainable behavior and thus the need for better, more innovative freezing technologies. IQF technology is one of the most advanced freezing technologies used in the processing of frozen foods today. The prolonging of the shelf life and maintenance of the high quality of the products frozen with IQF technology means a substantial decrease of waste and thus the end consumer is offered a better product. Many countries and economical regions are focusing on this sector and are offering subsidies to companies investing in innovative energy efficient IQF technology.

The OctoFrost™ IQF freezing solution offers the lowest energy consumption and waste for IQF production due to its unique technological features and innovative solutions. The main reason why the OctoFrost™ is energy efficient, is the compact octagonal body with superior aerodynamics throughout the freezer and its efficient parts. Having an IQF freezer with a compact body and less turbulence, means that the fans will require less power consumption. 

The OctoFrost™ is the most modern IQF freezer on the market. It is simple in design but advanced in function, and it is intentionally built with few moving parts. Together with the compact octagonal body, the other elements and features that make the OctoFrost™ so energy efficient are:

1.    The bedplates

3.    Time between defrost

The use of patented OctoFrost™ bedplates instead of a conveyor belt inside the freezer allows less fan speed. This together with the inverter controlled motors translates into low energy consumption.

During production, the OctoFrost™ keeps the front of the coil clean through the PLC operated SRS system and thus substantially prolongs the number of production hours between defrost or cleaning. This minimizes downtime and water consumption for defrosting. 

The unique design of the OctoFrost™ prevents snow formation thus minimizing dehydration - all snow that builds up during production inside a freezer is considered a direct waste of product and resources.  

Society as a whole benefits from increased energy efficiency, through both reduced environmental impacts of energy usage and from an economic point of view. Improved energy efficiency means lower marginal costs for products therefore sometimes lower prices on the market.   

As OctoFrost Group is a 100% Swedish company, it embraced all the Swedish environmental values. Therefore, its entire manufacturing and delivery processes are thought through to be flexible, sustainable, reliable and user-friendly.
