Industrial freezing processes are an excellent start to a cold chain. What you are looking for with this procedure is to freeze a food as quickly as possible in order to prevent tissue breakdown, dehydration and the proliferation of bacteria. With the appearance of free trade agreements, the freezing processes triggered the growth of this industry in the face of greater demand and the greater distances and times that food should endure to reach its final consumer.
The growth of this technology in Latin America has been silent, but rapid. Hundreds of companies across the region have implemented the procedure for their cold chains and a host of other companies have dedicated themselves to making this possible by manufacturing and distributing machinery.
Thanks to the interest of engineering, today in the market there is a large number of solutions adaptable to every need. Some of the most popular processes that have been implemented in the industrial field in Latin America are the so-called cooling tunnels and contact plate freezers.
For volume 11-3 of your magazine AC/R Latin America, we prepared an article that approaches in a little more detail the types of technology that have been implemented in the region.
