CALLIFREEZE®
The CALLIFREEZE® is specifically designed to measure the LOF of individual products such as meat products, fish, vegetables, etc. This sensor has shown its importance in the market by winning the innovation price of CFIA EXPO 2019 in Rennes, France!
Applications:
MICROFREEZE®
The MICROFREEZE® is used to evaluate the level-of-frozenness (LOF) of large blocks of food products (e.g. blocks of meat) or layers of products (e.g. French fries). The MICROFREEZE® can easily handle layered products with layer thicknesses up to 50 cm. This makes our sensor ideal for monitoring bulk products such as French fries, vegetables, fruits, etc.

AI-powered sensors
Artificial Intelligence and Web Interface
The acquired sensor data are fed to our AI-algorithms which provides reliable process information about the freezing and defrosting processes. Depending on the application, our sensors can be combined with other sensing modalities to provide a complete image of the process.
The web interface is used to visualize the processed data and manage the device settings for different products. The software supports Modbus TCP/IP direct communication with PLC units for automatic process control.
Level Of Frozenness certificate
To meet the increasing demands for quality reporting and traceability of products, our system automatically generates quality reports of all processed data. The report gives an overview of the evaluated products and their respective Level Of Frozenness (LOF) values. Since the products are scanned inline, the quality of every product or batch is checked. The products which are sufficiently frozen, receive the level-of-frozenness certificate to confirm the highest quality standards. This confirmation will enhance the trust of your customers in your freezing processes.
