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.

Production Improvement After Equipment Installation

Alejandro shared his experience after using the new shrimp IQF freezing unit.

The new shrimp IQF freezer benefited his shrimp processing operations in several ways:

  • The shrimp processing line, equipped with the IQF machine, achieved a capacity of approximately 550 kg per hour, meeting his daily processing requirements.
  • Individual quick freezing minimized clumping, enabling workers to complete weighing and packaging tasks more quickly.
  • The frozen shrimp maintained better separation during storage, enhancing product handling efficiency during transport.
  • The automated freezing process reduced the need for manual labor during the freezing stage.
  • The equipment helped increase daily processing volume and allowed the client to prepare a wider variety of packaging options for different markets.
  • The improved freezing process helped reduce product waste caused by poor freezing quality.

Alejandro stated that the shrimp IQF freezer machine has become a vital component of his seafood processing system. It helps his business to handle larger shrimp orders.

Why Shrimp Is Suitable for Individual Quick Freezer

1. Fast Individual Freezing

IQF technology freezes each shrimp separately, preventing shrimp from sticking together after freezing.
