THE REALCOLD GROUP of New Zealand and Australia has selected UK-based freezing and chilling equipment specialist Starfrost as its exclusive partner and supplier of spiral freezing systems.
Based in Auckland, New Zealand, THE REALCOLD GROUP is an industrial refrigeration engineering group providing customised food processing solutions. The company's product range includes carton chilling and freezing systems and plate freezers for meat, poultry, fish, dairy, horticultural and value added products.
THE REALCOLD GROUP was impressed by the reliability of Starfrost's Spiral Helix equipment range and the company's commitment to pioneering freezing technology. Starfrost's new Three Zone Spiral system recently won the Technological Development of the Year category at a major UK food industry awards.
The Three Zone Spiral's design allows the mechanical, frost tolerant system to operate for extended running times up to seven days between defrosts. This feature enables food manufacturers to minimise downtime, boost production and reduce running costs compared to any other freezing system.
THE REALCOLD GROUP was also attracted by the combined resources of Starfrost and its parent company Star Refrigeration, a pioneer in CO2 refrigeration technology. THE REALCOLD GROUP is also a leading contractor in the application of CO2 freezing techniques. In addition, Starfrost and Star work closely together to ensure that freezers are specified with optimised refrigeration systems.
