Radio frequency tempering and thawing of frozen seafood has many advantages for the producers and distributors:
- Defrosting is achieved in minutes rather than hours or days, even for large product blocks and, if necessary, directly inside packaging used for storage
- The process speed and uniformity minimise the risk of product degradations, thus helping to preserve at best the product quality
- Radio frequency defrosting can be carried out continuously, with significant logistics advantages in product handling and production scheduling
- Radio frequency equipment requires much less floor space compared to the traditional, large defrosting rooms or equipment; overall processing costs can also be reduced drastically compared to conventional techniques
STALAM radio frequency machines are manufactured in stainless steel AISI 304/316 with anti corrosion (passivation, pickling) treatment for even the most demanding environments. Designed to be easily cleaned and used, they have a PLC control system for multiple product recipes and are available in module sizes from 10 kWRF to 105 kWRF. Multiple modules can be combined to increase the production capacity.
