Fast, energy efficient freezing of meat by-products for pet food. Naked block contact freezing enables a 3-hour freezing cycle.

Vertical plate freezers are ideal for freezing large volumes of food and liquids very quickly to sustain the food quality and ensure food safety. Double contact freezing of naked blocks typically results in a freezing cycle of 3 hours or less.

In Australia and New Zealand, vertical plate freezers are primarily used in the meat and pet food industries for freezing offal, blood, MDM and trim destined for pet food.

MHM provides vertical plate freezers for this market, together with our Danish technology partner, DSI Dantech.
