Produce Cooling & Icing
Fresh vegetable and fruit products require ice and/or chilled ice for preservation of quality.
Processing requires continuous temperature control to maintain the best quality and extend the shelf life of the product. The use of ice reduces bacteria or enzyme activity in products, slows decay, and yields a higher quality. Ice helps provide a sanitary means for this preservation.
Applications include:
Water chilling to reduce the field heat during the post harvest process
Water chilling to rapidly drop the temperature of processed product (cut and blanched - hydro-cooling)
Truck icing during transportation of product
Ice /water mixture for liquid injection systems of boxed product prior to shipment
Post harvest process icing
The objective is to maintain the temperature during all phases - from the harvest to the final destination.
