Frozen meal production

Frozen meals, engineered for institutions.

An industrial frozen-meal line built to supply hospitals and large institutional clients: cooked in the central kitchen, rapidly chilled, portioned to fixed weights, sealed and labelled, then frozen with liquid nitrogen technology and moved through a controlled cold chain.

Freezing at very low temperature forms smaller ice crystals, so texture, taste and nutritional value hold up far better than in conventional freezing.
