Frozen Foods (IQF)
Precision and reliability even in the most extreme conditions
Frozen and IQF production calls for systems designed to operate reliably at low temperatures, in high humidity and through frequent washdown cycles.
The irregular nature of the product and the handling of loose foods make it essential to ensure weighing precision, product integrity and maximum food safety along the entire packaging and inspection line.
Key challenges
Very low temperatures
Mechanical and electronic components must maintain consistent performance even in cold rooms
Moisture, condensation and ice build-up
Conditions that can compromise reliability, precision and production continuity
Irregular, hard-to-dose products
Variable formats, piece sizes and flow properties call for very high-performance weighing systems
High hygiene standards
Frequent washdowns and aggressive environments call for machines with a high protection rating that are easy to sanitise
Foreign body contamination
Food safety requires accurate checks along the entire line

The machines
Tailor-made solutions. Real tests.
We test your product free of charge to identify the technology and configuration best suited to your application. Real trials, performance analysis and dedicated reports allow us to develop every project starting from concrete data and from the customer's specific production needs. First we test. Then we build the solution.
