Through our work in the poultry and seafood industry, we have been asked if we can reduce the weight loss in the chilling tunnel in beef and pig production. This request has led us to believe that the same methods and equipment can be used to reduce weight loss in other areas than poultry.
In poultry, we reduce weight loss by 0.5-2%. We are now carrying out the first tests with meat and are willing to discuss this with producers interested in this method.
Our poultry chilling solution involves the patented IceGun® solution, developed specifically for poultry processing, but which can be adapted for meat processing. The IceGun® is used to chill colder and more rapidly than existing technologies and it helps increase freshness that customers and governmental controls demand, while extending shelf life and increasing chilling throughput of the system.
By using controlled slurry ice as a chilling substance and applying the Thor Ice chilling solution, processors can successfully improve chilling without making radical and expensive changes to the production processes. Our plug-in and bolt-on solutions save time and money without interrupting production flow. The system can be fitted to existing production lines.
