Cooking | After packaging, automatically loaded conveyor trays continuously move products through the heating zone, using Hoegger’s patented, multi-layer horizontal counterflow method. Individual packages are gradually heated then exposed to a continuous water shower that begins the chilling process. |
Chilling | Moving counterflow, the product is rapidly chilled by an intense water shower and aided by a controlled pool of water retained in the product trays. This gentle and effective chilling temperature minimizes ice crystal formation. |
Drying | Once chilled, the product is discharged onto a conveyor belt, air-dried and is ready to be boxed for shipping. |
Process Control | Our software automatically monitors every tray load of product during the entire process and only releases correctly treated products for pack-off. The perfect, constant quality of the process is measured and recorded fully automatically in a continuous, real-time core temperature logging system. A state of the art, fully integrated safety control system controls and regulates the process. The system receives the relevant parameters from the operator or from the higher-level control system. The automatic control of operation, maintenance and cleaning ensure maximum process reliability, availability and hygiene of the system. Process data, events and interventions are recorded and are available for quality audits. |
