Adapting to the Future of Frozen Food: GLORY Europe’s Value-Added Freezing Expertise
The shift in the food industry from raw, bulk ingredients to processed, value-added products demands specialized freezing technology. As more food companies move towards semi- or fully prepacked items, and products with delicate coatings or intricate shapes (from gourmet seafood and coated poultry to confectionery and dumplings), standard freezing methods are no longer sufficient.
GLORY Europe has proactively adapted and engineered its IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) technology to meet this evolution, ensuring the quality and integrity of your final product.
Precision-Engineered Freezing for Value-Added Items
Our dedication is to the finely tuned details of the freezing process. We don’t just build freezers; we engineer IQF solutions that deliver the quickest, gentlest, and most consistent freezing for a wide range of value-added products. This commitment to precision ensures that your high-value items retain their quality, structure, and visual appeal.
Key Advantages for Value-Added Products:
Handles Delicate Coatings and Prepacked Products: Our gentle handling systems and adjustable airflows are specifically designed to process items that are semi- or fully prepacked, coated, or seasoned, without causing damage or clumping. This includes everything from marinated seafood and coated chicken portions to complex ready-meal components.
Low Weight Loss, High Visual Quality: Achieving the quickest and most consistent freeze is paramount. Rapid freezing locks in moisture and minimizes cell damage, drastically reducing dehydration and weight loss. This translates directly into higher yield and superior visual presentation, making your product more appealing to the end consumer.
Fully Customizable Settings per Product Type: Recognizing that a delicate seafood dumpling requires a different approach than a dense poultry nugget, our IQF freezers offer fully customizable and finely tuned settings. This allows you to achieve the optimal freezing curve for every product you run, from seafood, meat, and poultry to confectionery and dumplings.
Fish freezing is one of GLORY’s main focus areas.
Almost 25 years of experience in the industry have allowed us to grow into a leading supplier of the world’s best turn-key freezer and freezing lines, for all types of fish.
In recent years, GLORY has seen many changes in the seafood industry. In the past, most products were raw, like fresh fish or shellfish. Today, more companies are making value-added products, such as breaded, steamed, cooked, or pre-fried foods. These often need to be semi-packed or fully packed before freezing. GLORY has improved our freezers to handle these new products with care and efficiency.
While GLORY focuses on standardizing our products and technology, we understand that your value-added product may need special adjustments. If you have a unique product we haven’t frozen before, we will run careful tests to ensure the best freezing time and energy use. Feel free to contact us and let us know your needs — we’re happy to support you.
GLORY has developed several solutions that help make it easier for you to offer the highest quality, and stay ahead of the competition. Our freezing lines stand out through their ease of operation, cleaning access, and low power consumption. Whether you handle packed or loose products, pre-processed or all-natural.
