Uncompromising Performance for Optimal Product Quality
Blast freezing (or blast chilling) is an important technique for maintaining the safety and quality of food. Blast chillers force cold air over the products inside them, cooling food rapidly and keeping it out of the “danger zone” (40⁰F–140⁰F/4⁰C–60⁰C) where bacteria growth and spoilage are most likely to occur. Notably, high-capacity blast freezers are an essential technology for safe meat and poultry processing.
As governments worldwide seek to phase down the use of high global warming potential (GWP) hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants, Opteon™ refrigerants provide a dependable replacement for legacy refrigerants like R-404A in blast chilling applications—with a much-improved environmental profile.
Energy Efficient, Quick-Freezing Capabilities from a Low GWP Refrigerant
Opteon™ refrigerants from Chemours use hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) chemistry to deliver superior performance in commercial blast freezing applications. With a low GWP and zero ozone-depletion potential (ODP), Opteon™ refrigerants work across a range of temperature requirements to help ensure foods can be chilled quickly and effectively, maintaining product quality while promoting a longer shelf life.
As demand for chilling capacity grows throughout the food-supply industry, Opteon™ refrigerants provide the efficiency and sustainability needed to support a safe and healthy global food system.
