Overview

Using the Lutetia® cold convection defrosting system optimizes conditions for transfer between the surface of the food and humidity in the air and balances the internal distribution of heat in the food and transfer to the interface. In this way, the unique, patented defrosting chamber technology manages surface heating and optimizes heat provision for faster defrosting and optimal food quality and safety.

Benefits

  • High speed air circulation, which renews the boundary layer and accelerates heat transfer
  • Regulated heat provision (air, water, steam) and cold provision (air, water)
  • Static procedure which respects the most fragile foods
  • Maintenance of ambient and surface humidity by injection of steam and water spraying, which reduces drying and encourages heat transfer
  • Cold convection allows product to be defrosted much faster than microbial latency

Product Applications

Ground, Formed and Portioned Products
Whole Muscle Products
Bone-in Products
Protein Alternatives
