The StarContact utilises plate freezing principles. There are two models; Contact Film Hardener (CFH) and Contact Film Freezer (CFF).
The CFH is a surface hardening system. Contact with the system freezes the underside of a product ensuring it maintains its shape in the final freezing process.
It is ideal for raw meats, poultry and wet or delicate seafood products such as fish fillets, scallops, octopus and squid.
The CFF combines the same base as the CFH with an overhead blast freezing section to provide a complete freezing solution.
It is particularly suitable for freezing delicate products or those which require ‘no belt mesh’ freezing.
Both systems can be fitted with lateral guides that raise the film edge and permit the freezing of liquids and semi-solids such as sauces, purees, soups, juices and smoothies.
