Food Processing Cooling — frequently asked
Blast freezer or IQF for my product?
Blast freezers suit boxed, portioned or carcass products where individual separation is not required. IQF is essential for free-flow small pieces — shrimp, berries, diced vegetables — where product must stay separable.
Ammonia or CO₂ for a new food plant?
For plants >500 kW with in-house engineering support, ammonia remains best-in-class on efficiency and TCO. For smaller sites, CO₂ transcritical or NH₃/CO₂ cascade cuts charge, footprint and safety zoning.
How do I meet BRC / IFS hygienic HVAC requirements?
Use hygienic AHUs (VDI 6022, EN 1946), pressure cascades from high-care to low-care, HEPA/EPA terminal filtration in high-care zones and full validation of air changes and dew point.
How fast can ColdMatch tender a food plant refrigeration package?
48 hours to brief, 3–6 weeks for full EPC and equipment quotes benchmarked side-by-side across CAPEX, OPEX and lifecycle.
