Foodline Shrimp IQF Freezer for Ecuador Shrimp Processing Line
- Client Name: Alejandro Iriarte
- Position: Purchasing Manager, Seafood Processing Plant
- Location: Ecuador
Alejandro’s plant needed a quick freezer for shrimp processing but he was unsure which type of equipment best suited their production needs. After contacting Foodline, our product manager learned about their processing capacity, shrimp type, and production plan.
- The client needed to freeze approximately 500 kg of shrimp per hour.
- The client required continuous freezing equipment capable of integrating with their existing shrimp processing line.
Our product manager introduced various quick freezing machines, including spiral freezers, tunnel freezers, and fluidized bed freezers. Based on the production capacity and shrimp characteristics, we recommended fluidized bed freezers, which are also known as IQF freezers.
Our product manager explained that the shrimp IQF freezer utilizes cold air circulation technology to freeze each shrimp individually. IQF technology ensures the shrimp remain separate after freezing, which facilitates sorting, weighing, packaging, and storage.
To help Alejandro better understand the IQF freezing equipment, we provided videos of IQF fruit processing, equipment photos and specifications.
Our product manager requested the following technical details:
- Shrimp size
- Freezing temperature
- Production space
- Power supply
Alejandro provided his address in Ecuador. The product manager calculated the shipping costs and sent a comprehensive quotation.
After consulting with his partners, Alejandro inquired about payment methods and the possibility of installment payments. Our product manager explained that he could pay a 30% deposit, with the remaining balance due prior to shipment.
Ultimately, Alejandro paid the 30% deposit via bank transfer, and Foodline commenced production of the shrimp IQF freezer.
