Starfrost Managing Director – Robert Long and MHM Automation Chief Operating Officer – Richard Jenman recently visited a customer site in the UK to review the progress of an exciting joint project—the installation of the Single Retention Time (SRT) Carton Freezing Tunnel, developed by MHM Automation and delivered through our strategic partnership.

This system is set to transform the site’s freezing operations, with the capability to rapidly freeze up to 17,000 cartons of product within a 24-hour period. Designed with fully automated loading and unloading, the tunnel will significantly enhance both operational efficiency and workplace safety.

As we move closer to the commissioning phase, we’re excited about the benefits this system will bring—stay tuned for more updates.

The Carton Tunnel operates on a ‘first-in, first-out’ freezing system, ensuring full traceability and consistent product temperatures, without the need for human intervention­­­­—a level of efficiency and control that manual blast freezing chambers cannot provide.

Through our partnership with MHM Automation in Australasia, Starfrost provides a full range of automated freezing and chilling tunnels, tailored for long retention time products.

✅ Up to 25% energy savings compared to traditional blast freezing cells
✅ Faster freezing times for improved quality and extended shelf life
✅ Fully automated no manual handling or forklift required
