We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of a zero-degree freezing machine for customers handling firefly squid. Outside of the production area, it is rare to see anything other than boiled firefly squid, making it possible to commercialize it for consumption raw. Due to issues such as parasites and the rapid deterioration of the product, it has not been possible to ship it nationwide. By freezing, we can reduce the risk of anisakis. Additionally, freezing the ingredients in good condition allows us to add value. [Case Overview] ■ Challenge: Unable to ship nationwide due to issues such as parasites and rapid deterioration. ■ Effects: - Reducing the risk of anisakis by freezing. - Adding value by freezing the ingredients in good condition. *For detailed information on the case, please refer to the PDF document.

We would like to introduce a case study of the introduction of the Zero Color Freezer for freezing beef at Serge Gen's Co., Ltd. Our freezer employs a liquid cooling method to freeze cooked products placed in bags within a cold liquid. The use of liquid is due to the fact that the thermal conductivity of liquid is 10 to 20 times greater than that of air, making it significantly easier for heat to be transferred through liquid. Additionally, our unique technology forces the liquid surrounding the food to move at an overwhelming speed, allowing for rapid freezing. [Key Points for Rapid Freezing of Food] ■ Liquid Temperature ■ Flow Speed ■ Heat Exchange Efficiency *For detailed information on the case study, please refer to the PDF document.
