Thawing Cycle

The control and regulation of the thawing cycle isrealized through a microprocessor with 9programmes which can be memorized, eachcomprising 4 phases.The temperature probes, positioned in the room, onthe surface and in the centre of the product to bethawed control, via the microprocessor, theintervention of the heating, moisturizing and aircirculation system.At the end of the thawing cycle the refrigerationsystem is automatically activated to stabilize andpreserve the product.

Thawing Systems

The moisture saturated hot air thawing makes itpossible to obtain the following advantages withrespect to other systems:

• After thawing the product has the samecharacteristics as fresh product before freezing

• Extremely low shrinkage with limited proteinloss

• The product keeps the original colour

• Minimal water consumption for each thawingcycle

• Product surface temperature control to reducethe risk of bacterial load to a minimum

• Short thawing times with low energy costsSaturated air thawing is used to thaw hams,shoulders, blocks of meat, poultry, fish and otherproducts.
