GLORY IQF: Optimized Freezing and Glazing for Premium Shrimp & Shellfish
Processing shrimp and shellfish requires specialized technology due to the products’ high value, delicate structure, and the need for rigorous quality control to maintain freshness and appearance. GLORY is the global leader in freezing and glazing systems for shrimp and shellfish, with technology engineered to counteract the specific challenges of seafood processing, particularly dehydration, structural damage, and inconsistent glazing.
Precision Freezing: Quality, Versatility, and Integration
Our systems are built on a foundation of constant innovation to deliver premium quality, efficiency, and flexibility:
Global Leadership and Innovation:
GLORY is constantly focused on the finely tuned details of seafood processing to improve freezing technology and processes. This ensures our clients always have a competitive advantage in preserving quality and optimizing throughput.
Seafood Specialization:
We are experts in both standardized and customized freezers for shrimp and shellfish. This specialization allows us to configure units that perfectly match the moisture content, density, and delicate nature of these high-value items, maximizing yield and minimizing waste.
Versatile Product Handling:
Our robust yet gentle systems handle a wide variety of shrimp types—including HOSO, HL, PD, and PDTO—in both small and large packs. This flexibility ensures consistent, high-quality output regardless of the product type or batch size.
Packaging Compatibility:
The equipment seamlessly accommodates different final packaging formats, such as Styrofoam trays and boxes up to 2 kg, allowing for a smooth transition from freezing to final retail presentation.
Quality Preservation:
Fast freezing is absolutely key to preserving the delicate structure of shellfish. Rapid, uniform temperature reduction prevents the formation of large ice crystals that cause cellular damage, locking in flavor, texture, and moisture to ensure minimal weight loss and a premium eating experience.
Integrated Solutions for a Perfect Finish:
The ideal system combines our Mesh Belt Freezer with integrated glazing units and hardeners. This sequence is crucial for seafood, as the precise glazing layer applied immediately after freezing protects the product from oxidation and dehydration (freezer burn), and the subsequent hardening ensures the glaze remains intact for transport and retail presentation. This maximizes product protection and delivers a perfect, consistent glazed finish.
By focusing on the integration of rapid freezing with precise glazing, GLORY ensures your shrimp and shellfish products retain their market value and premium quality from process to plate.
Shellfish products keep their freshness and succulence
By continuously questioning and looking to improve our processes and technology, GLORY has become a global force in both standardized and customized freezing equipment for shrimp and shellfish.
GLORY freezer can handle shrimp such as HOSO, HL, PD, PDTO, and so on, either packed individually or in larger batches. Whether it is wrapped in Styrofoam trays, or packed in cardboard boxes up to weights of two kilograms per box, GLORY’s product range is fit to purpose. Combine GLORY Mesh belt freezer with our supreme glazing units and hardener and you will create the best assembly possible for your entire freezing process.
Shellfish are delicate and spoil quickly, so fast freezing is important. GLORY IQF freezers help keep shellfish fresh and tasty by freezing them quickly. For small batches, the Quick Airblast Freezer is a good option. For larger volumes, the Steel Belt IQF Freezer ensures high quality with footprint-free on the product.
Over almost 25 years, GLORY has seen a growing variety in products. Our knowledge of customized freezing solutions grew accordingly. Although our aim is to standardize our technology as much as possible, we understand that some products need unique adaptations.
