Experts in refrigeration technology and equipment, Starfrost now provides an energy comparison tool to help producers of chilled and frozen foods cope with the continuous increase in gas prices. This instrument, which usually yields a one to two year return on investment, assists food producers in evaluating the switch from costly cryogenic freezing to more economical mechanical freezing.
It is critical, according to Starfrost, that food makers choose their freezing techniques wisely given the rising cost of electricity. Starfrost provides a thorough examination of the running costs related to both mechanical and cryogenic freezing technologies, enabling processors to assess the financial effects of each choice. This service is accessible to both new entrants into the food industry and seasoned food processors thinking about replacing their existing cryogenic freezers.
The professionals at Starfrost can precisely compare the expenses of cryogenic and mechanical freezing procedures by taking into account variables like market volatility, long-term contracts, and gas pricing. Through the utilization of this data, processors can get significant knowledge regarding the possible cost savings and return on investment linked to various freezing technologies.
In order to demonstrate the efficacy of this service, Starfrost recently worked with a well-known seafood processor in the UK. The food producer saved a significant amount of money per year—GBP624,071—by purchasing a mechanical spiral freezer and using the energy comparison service. This was based on 50 weeks of production and the processing of 1000 kg of marine items each hour. Compared to the operational costs of their prior used cryogenic freezer, this customer will see a return on investment in just over a year.
Food firms looking to improve their freezing and chilling capabilities can now utilize Starfrost’s energy comparison service. Starfrost helps food processors increase their profitability and combat rising energy costs by providing them with the essential knowledge.
“Our energy comparison service equips businesses with the essential insights needed to optimise their freezing and chilling processes and sheds light on real costs and payback returns. As a comparative example, the operating costs per kilo of finished product for mechanical freezing are notably 85-90% lower than those incurred with nitrogen cryogenics, an astonishing reduction,” according to Samuel Welch, UK sales manager at Starfrost.
“Our mechanical freezing equipment doesn’t just deliver high-performance and high efficiency but also guarantees the highest quality results in the end product. We aim to share our expertise and emphasise a profitable freezing solution without compromising the food product’s quality or sacrificing system flexibility.”
