Free for buyers. Your request goes to the ColdMatch team, who review it and contact suitable suppliers on your behalf. Suppliers do not receive your details before that review.
ColdMatch facilitates sourcing and RFQs; it does not manufacture, sell, import or export the listed products and is not a regulatory authority. Suppliers are responsible for their products meeting the requirements of the origin and destination countries; buyers for import permissions, local rules and due diligence. Requirements vary by product and country, and the team checks requests before any supplier contact. Regulation and restricted items
Is this the right system for you?
Best fit when
- Processed product must reach chilled temperature before packing or storage.
- Product flows continuously from a line.
Evaluate carefully when
- Production is in small, irregular batches, where a blast chiller may be simpler.
- Cleaning access is limited in the processing area.
Operating context and compatibility
Confirm product, hourly throughput, entry and target temperature, line integration, cleaning requirements and refrigeration supply.
Sizing and specification questions
Answer these in your request so supplier offers are comparable.
- Product and hourly throughput
- Entry and target temperature
- Line integration and cleaning needs
- Refrigeration supply
Unknown items can be left open — the ColdMatch team will ask before approaching suppliers.
