MP Engineering's "VE Freezer" adopts a differential pressure method that maintains a uniform flow of cold air, allowing for rapid freezing of ingredients without unevenness. The cooling time is extremely short, and it features a surface freezing (tempering) function for meat slicing, enabling the freezing of food at the highest quality. With high-speed air at an internal setting temperature of -35°C, cooling and freezing can be achieved in a short time. It prevents cell destruction of ingredients and reduces drip formation. The differential pressure booth design ensures uniform cooling from the upper to the lower sections, significantly reducing cold air unevenness. Additionally, its excellent cleaning structure and energy-saving design achieve stable operation and hygiene management. It is utilized in a wide range of settings, including fresh meat, prepared foods, school lunches, and frozen foods. ■ Freezing Test - Tests can be conducted at our facility (if visiting is difficult, sending samples is also possible). - An experimental report including data will be submitted after the freezing test. - Thawing tests using high-quality thawing machines are also possible.

In restaurants and cooking facilities that handle beef, pork, chicken, and other meats, the risk of food poisoning particularly increases during seasonal transitions. To prevent diarrhea and vomiting caused by bacteria such as Salmonella and Campylobacter, as well as parasites, reliable heating and rapid freezing are essential. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare sets the standard for raw horse meat as "freezing at a core temperature of -20°C or lower for more than 48 hours." On the other hand, internationally, rapid freezing conditions such as "-30°C for more than 18 hours" or "-35°C for more than 15 hours" are recommended as measures against parasites. While conventional slow freezing poses challenges of quality degradation and residual risks, the 'VE Freezer' can lower the internal temperature to -35°C and reach a core temperature of below -30°C in a short time. This enables rapid freezing that meets international recommendations, preserving meat quality and flavor even after thawing. It is highly effective for hygiene management and quality maintenance of fresh meat, side dishes, and processed products, including beef, pork, and chicken. Test installations and rentals are also available, so please feel free to contact us. Contact: info@vefreezer.com 03-4335-7225 (main line)

A scene from a cake shop's preparation. The baked sponge and prepared mousse are immediately placed in the VE freezer to cool. The way they are arranged at this time is key! By aligning the heights and arranging them neatly, the cold air circulates evenly, allowing for quick and uniform cooling. With traditional methods of leaving them at room temperature or slow cooling, they often lingered in temperature ranges conducive to bacterial growth, which could compromise flavor and texture. With the VE freezer, the center temperature is rapidly lowered, preserving color and moisture. Additionally, it enables temperature management in compliance with food sanitation laws, supporting safe and secure production. After cooling, it is important to immediately remove the cakes for packing and transfer them to the frozen storage. Through "appropriate cooling" and "optimization of work processes" with the VE freezer, cake shops are achieving both quality maintenance and labor savings, significantly improving productivity. A test room is also available in Shinagawa, Tokyo, for rapid freezing tests of your products.

The "VE Freezer" is equipped with a differential pressure cooling system that achieves rapid cooling in a short time by directly applying a large amount of cold air to food immediately after heating. For low-temperature cooked products like roast beef, temperature management is crucial, and the Food Sanitation Act (for heated meat products) mandates that the time spent at a core temperature between 25°C and 55°C must be kept within 200 minutes. The VE Freezer cools from 55°C to 20°C in just 100 minutes, ensuring safety at a speed that greatly exceeds this standard. After cooling, it automatically switches to a refrigeration operation, allowing it to be used as a storage unit. Additionally, it supports rapid freezing at "−35°C," balancing reduced freezing time with quality preservation. Short operation times and labor-saving features lead to improved production efficiency and reduced labor costs. These benefits may qualify for the Small and Medium Enterprise Labor-Saving Investment Subsidy, enabling the simultaneous achievement of enhanced hygiene standards and labor savings while keeping introduction costs low through subsidy utilization. We also have a test room available, so you can verify the actual performance of the equipment. Please feel free to contact us.

To safely and quickly freeze PAC products after pressure seasoning, it is important to prevent cooling unevenness caused by stacking. The VE freezer utilizes a parent-child cart system to arrange products at regular intervals. This allows cold air to circulate evenly throughout, enabling high-quality freezing without unevenness. The loading and unloading process is also smooth, making it efficient to operate even in a corner of a room-temperature warehouse with space-saving benefits. Furthermore, by combining it with a differential pressure booth, the workflow from freezing to cold storage is optimized. With a freezing capacity of 125 kg/h, it is suitable for processing in medium-sized factories and is also ideal for retort cooking facilities. By integrating freezing and cold storage, it simultaneously achieves labor reduction, hygienic workflow management, and stable product quality. The VE freezer can flexibly adapt to limited spaces and can be smoothly integrated into existing lines. A test room is available! Please feel free to contact us.

In the manufacturing of commercial side dishes (cook packs), there was a challenge that longer retort pressure times could compromise flavor. Therefore, the focus is on designing a process that minimizes pressure and quickly freezes the product. In fact, the timing and method of freezing are key to preserving deliciousness. The VE freezer can rapidly lower the core temperature, effectively suppressing the deterioration of taste and texture. Furthermore, to eliminate cooling unevenness caused by traditional stacking, we propose a parent-child cart that allows for the insertion of retort trays. This ensures a pathway for cold air and achieves high-efficiency freezing at 250 kg/h. We have also considered the workflow by suggesting an in-cabinet rail system and a one-way layout. This system contributes to labor-saving on-site while stabilizing freezing quality. "We are not doing anything special," but "there are clever ideas that determine the taste" here. We have a fully equipped test room, so please feel free to reach out. Contact: Mail info@vefreezer.com Tel 03-4335-7225
