Starfrost

The new Starfrost system means that we now have the most efficient spiral freezer design combined with high performance freezing.

The results are improved texture and consistency of Mackie’s of Scotland ice cream, as proven in our taste trial results.

With the new compact Starfrost cooling system we were able to upgrade previous system and create space to implement a complete new line within our bakery, without compromising our output capacity.

The number one benefit we have gained from the Helix spiral cooler is repeatable, improved product quality – a result of the consistent temperature airflow. The spiral cooler also removes excess moisture from the loaves, to help improve shelf life.

We’re pleased with our bespoke solution supplied by Starfrost. The IQF freezer has not only delivered a 20% increase in production capacity, but we have also achieved a 4% improvement in product yield and reduced energy costs by 12%, with further expected improvements due to its recent installation.

Dr. Christian Paul, Plant Operations Manager – FRoSTA AG

We have a fully automated freezing operation, which is exceptionally reliable and energy-efficient. As our designated freezing equipment supplier, we have always been impressed by Starfrost’s flexibility and commitment to understanding our specific requirements, particularly during the design phase. From design to equipment installation, warranty, and post-warranty service, every aspect is always handled with great care and attention to detail.

The spiral freezer has allowed us to significantly increase production capacity by 60% and substantially reduce freezing time. The quality of the engineered equipment and specification provided by Starfrost has impressed the team at Newburgh Foods.

Phil Trew, Operations Manager – Newburgh Foods 

Starfrost were an obvious choice for us, we were aware of the quality engineered equipment they produced and their position within the food processing industry. Central to the decision for selecting Starfrost was the company’s ability to offer a bespoke solution that worked within our existing infrastructure and tailored to our products and production line as opposed to an ‘off the shelf’ standard design. As a food manufacturer, I don’t think you can ever underestimate the value of quality processing equipment that works exactly how it has been designed to and Starfrost has met our expectations.

Peter Gull, Engineering & Projects Manager – PUKKA

The Helix spiral freezer has enabled us to significantly expand production capacity by 30%. As always, we have enjoyed working with Starfrost, from point of sale through to commissioning and install, the transparent and personable service that the teams have provided is refreshing and of the highest standard. We look forward to working with Starfrost on our next project.

Ben Walker, General Manager – COOK

Our new spiral freezer and refrigeration plant has assisted the business with doubling production this year. The design specification also supports our overall growth plans allowing for future expansion. Since the installation of our new freezing equipment, we have considerably reduced our freezing times in comparison to the static freezers that were used before and the method of freezing is consistent which has greatly improved the quality of our end product.
