“Even though we see increasing competition from the Far East and other areas around the world, we still see a growing demand for high quality products with a user friendly design and a strong focus on a reliable product with low maintenance costs”, says DSI sales director, Peter N Christensen.

The company says that it feels its customers have realised that “disappointment at low quality lasts much longer than pleasure from low prices”and more and more people are willing to pay a little extra to get a high quality product.

DSI is exporting 98% of its production to countries all around the world. The company is represented in different countries by local refrigeration contractors and process equipment suppliers, who are the guarantee for correct installation and after sales service. As DSI is not selling its plate freezers directly to the end-users it says it is very strongly committed to its refrigeration contractors and has built up a very strong relationship with them. “Without the refrigeration contractors, DSI would not have been where we are today,” says Mr Christensen.

As a part of its commitment to its contractors, DSI is working on ongoing development of its range of products, not only with regards to designing new products but also to the existing range of products which is under observation for possible improvements.

DSI’s range of products consists of more than 50 different types of vertical and horizontal plate freezers.

Beside plate freezers, DSI has a very strong cooperation with the different manufactures of automatic loading and unloading systems for plate freezers, and many of these systems have been designed especially for DSI plate freezers.

Mr Christensen also points out the newly developed CorePoint System. “The CorePoint System, under Patent no. PA 2009 00731, is a system to measure the core temperature of the product during the freezing process. We can reduce energy consumption at different start temperatures! And different product types! This reduces production costs, and can increase the capacity for the plate freezers and the freezing installation”, he said.

He adds that the freezing installation is operated with higher energy efficiency, because the operator can control the compressors etc. with frequency inverters, which reduces operation costs.
