AFOS is offering a defrosting solution to help fish and food processors comply with tightening hygiene and food standards rules.
The company is offering to provide a defrosting machine on trial so that processors can gain first hand experience of its benefits both in adhering to hygiene standards and improving profitability.
The T500 machine comes with a touch screen control panel and has a nominal capacity of 500kg. It can defrost all species of fish, shellfish, meat, poultry and vegetables.
AFOS defrosters deliver precise defrosting, increase yields, provide traceability and increase shelf-life of products, and are approved by most major retailers such as Marks & Spencer.
These defrosters have been on trial in the USA, Australia and Europe and so far this has generated a high level of business.
Customers are finding that they are recovering the cost of the machine within 6 -18 months through:
- Labour savings from reduced material handling
- Yield improvements
- Reduced process times
- Reduced water and energy costs
AFOS is also continuing to offer deals on upgrading older smoking kilns with Siemens touch-screen microprocessor technology increasing efficiency and precision of smoking without the need for a large capital outlay in purchasing a new machine.
