BLAST FREEZER, FOOD SAFETY AND FOOD QUALITY

A blast freezer is a very special and unique machine. It is actually used to shock freeze food items before storage. Being able to do so has a wealth of benefits for both the home and commercial user. Unlike with slower freezing methods temperatures in a blast freezer can go as low as -40°F preventing bacterial growth from such nasties as e.coli, salmonella, staphylococcus and streptococcus and therefore making food much safer for consumption.

When food is frozen in the freezer box of your fridge or a chest freezer, it is a slow process and ice crystals form inside the food. That's because most meats, vegetables, and other commonly frozen foods have water in them. The longer it takes to freeze the food, the bigger the ice crystals will get.

Most of the time these large crystals will cause cells to explode and the food loses its nutritional value, texture and quality. However, by shock freezing, ice crystals do not get nearly as large and instead of causing damage it actually locks in all the nutrients, moisture, and best of all the quality.

Commercial Blast Freezers

For use in hotels, restaurants, groceries, catering shops and other food related businesses like livestock meat processing companies, there are many large capacity machines on the market. The biggest are the walk-in variety which allow for trays and carts full of food to can be rolled into the unit at once for quick and easy shock freezing. While these can be expensive they are more often than not a necessity for large operations that need to preserve a huge amount of food items and ensure their quality for customers at the same time.

Some commercial options are actually designed to work best with certain foods. Storing ice cream in ordinary freezers particularly after it has been just been freshly made, can lead to the formation of ice crystals which in turn affects its taste and especially texture. An ice cream blast freezer will guarantee your ice cream retains its original flavour and creaminess.

Regardless of how big or small your needs are, there is a unit that can meet them. For keeping food safe from bacteria, fresher for longer, and maintaining its quality, a blast freezer is the only way to go.
