The most effective IQF freezer ever made

With Frigoscandia FLoFREEZE® from JBT Marel, you get the only true IQF freezer: a superior freezing solution powered by patented true fluidization technology. It freezes each piece individually to lock in product flavor, texture, appearance, and yield while giving you the throughput and reliability your operation depends on.

Fresher than fresh IQF freezing

Your customers expect frozen food that looks and tastes exceptionally fresh. You need an industrial IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) freezer that can ensure that quality every time. 

This is exactly what Frigoscandia FLoFREEZE IQF freezers are designed to deliver. 

With our patented technology, each product piece is frozen truly individually. This prevents clumping, reduces dehydration, preserves natural appearance, and protects the quality your customers know and trust.

IQF Freezing Frigoscandia

Key advantages include: 

High capacity and flexibility 
Our FLoFREEZE range supports everything from smaller production needs to high-volume industrial IQF freezing, with capacities up to 18,000 kg per hour (based on frozen peas). 

Longer production runs 
The ADF (Air Defrost System) option removes snow build-up continuously for extended operation, while the Sequential Defrost option supports production runs of several days between defrosts. 

Hygienic, accessible design 
Built around Hygiene by Design™ principles, the open stainless-steel design, smooth surfaces, accessibility and self-draining floor support faster, more effective cleaning. 

Lower refrigeration impact 
The optional LVS (Low-Volume-System) Refrigeration™ System can deliver very low temperatures with a smaller refrigerant charge and improved evaporator efficiency. 

A complete solution for berries and vegetables
From handling, preparing, blanching, and freezing, to post-freezing tasks, JBT Marel can help you build a connected processing line that improves flow, consistency, and performance across your operation. Explore more here.

Customized for your precise needs

We configure your IQF freezer around your product, capacity, and production goals. Our range includes a variety of more compact FLoFREEZE A models as well as higher-capacity FLoFREEZE M models. 

IQF Track
IQF Track uses dual-zone fluidization to crust-freeze products first, helping protect appearance, yield, and separation before core freezing. It can run in agitation or conveyor mode for optimal results. 

IQF Tray
IQF Tray provides multi-zone freezing in a stainless steel design for products with high hygiene requirements. It is also ideal for high-volume classic IQF products such as peas and corn kernels. 

Additional technologies help you fine-tune performance even further: 

  • Three infeed options gently handle delicate products, ensure even distribution, or add de-watering support before freezing. 
  • Extended Track Rinser cleans the first belt without raising freezer temperature, helping extend production runs while maintaining hygiene. 
  • Hygiene by Design™ gives you smooth, self-draining surfaces and easy access for cleaning. 
  • ADF snow removal supports long continuous freezing runs. 
  • Sequential Defrost enables extended production with up to a week between defrosts. 
  • Low-volume refrigeration options can support very low temperatures and efficient refrigerant use. 
  • Pulsation system gently separates soft, juicy products during crust freezing. 
  • Every detail is designed to help you freeze better, run longer, and get more value from your raw material. 
  • Agitation helps separate long or sticky products such as pasta, onion rings, sliced peppers, and rice. 
  • Air bypass optimizes fluidization for different product shapes, sizes, and weights. 
  • Modulator fine-tunes airflow during initial crust freezing to match each product and prevent clumping.

The only true IQF freezer

Frigoscandia invented IQF freezing with true fluidization in 1962. We’ve continued to advance our technology ever since, leading the industry with solutions that freeze a wider range of products, in less space, with higher efficiency and more consistent results. 

Not all IQF freezers deliver real IQF results. Frigoscandia FLoFREEZE is the only true IQF freezer on the market, delivering superior quality thanks to our patented airflow technology. 

Inside Frigoscandia FLoFREEZE freezers, carefully controlled high-velocity air lifts and separates the product so it behaves like a liquid. Cold air flows evenly around each individual piece, ensuring optimal freezing for even the most delicate, sticky, and hard-to-handle products. 

This means better yield, stronger product appeal, fewer rejects, and more value created in every run. 

True IQF quality starts with true fluidization—unique to JBT Marel. With Frigoscandia FLoFREEZE, we help processors increase product value and yield, while providing the efficiency they need to grow with confidence.
