What does Blast freezer mean in logistics?
Short answer
Equipment that freezes product rapidly using very cold, high-velocity air until the core reaches the target frozen temperature. Fast freezing limits ice-crystal damage and is different from a holding freezer, which only maintains temperature.
Used by meat, seafood, frozen snacks and ice-cream processors before product enters frozen storage or reefer transport. Reefer trucks are not designed to freeze warm product; loads should be at target temperature before dispatch. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
