SPECIAL FOCUS

• It helps keep freshness and maintain texture of food.
5. The maintenance cost is lower when compared with microwave
defrosting due to no special equipment required.
6. The amount of water used is less compared to water thawing, thus costs
on water management and treatment is reduced.
7. The system and thawing equipment can be designed to accommodate
the existing production plan.

Internal heating is one of the proper and
time-saving alternatives for thawing. The
Hyper Fresh Thawing System is a newly
developed method for thawing using thermal
and latent heat management. It thaws food
at low temperature and in a high humidity
environment. Products are placed in a high
relative humidity room where heat is
transferred during condensation. The system
delivers thawed products at similar
temperatures throughout.

The key benefits of the Hyper
Fresh Thawing System:
1. It can be applied to all types of frozen
food.
2. Temperature and time can be optimally
controlled for specific products.
3. Vapor in the high relative humidity room
acts as the medium for thawing.
• The rate of heat transfer per unit time
is greater than air thawing because of the
latent heat of condensation.
• The heat transfer during condensation
onto the outer area delivers faster
thawing.
• The temperature of the frozen food
surface is lower than the room temperature,
which helps stopping the bacteria growth. In
addition, the lower temperature causes
minimal temperature differences between the
inside and the surface of the product and help
reduce drip loss.
4. Preventing deterioration of product
quality.
• This system prevents color change
during thawing.
• It reduces water loss and weight
loss.
