Thor Ice Chilling Solutions
Thor Ice specializes in developing, producing, and managing slurry ice systems for rapid chilling of fresh food products, such as poultry, meat, and fish, during processing.
With the increasing demand for rapid and effective chilling of various fresh food products, Thor Ice has developed innovative slurry ice systems through years of extensive engineering, mechanical, biological and business knowledge and experience. Since 2002, we have been at the forefront of slurry ice cooling technology, developing the revolutionary and patented IceGun® system.
Thor Ice has run extensive tests in collaboration with respected scientists, institutes, leading industry food processors, and industry partners in Europe. These tests have confirmed the system’s effectiveness in chilling and reducing bacteria growth, thereby extending shelf life and increasing food safety.
Our main objective is to improve the freshness, quality, and safety of food products while delivering environmentally friendly solutions to the food-processing industry.
