AFE Approach

The AFE Approach to Superior Commercial Freezer Production and Service

When it comes to commercial refrigeration equipment, the foodservice industry doesn’t just need cooling solutions—they need reliability, performance, and tailored service. At Advanced Food Equipment LLC (AFE), we’ve been setting the gold standard in customized commercial freezers and freezing solutions since 1990. From top-quality individual quick freezers (IQF freezers) to unparalleled customer support, the AFE approach is built on precision, innovation, and collaboration.

What sets us apart? It’s more than just the cutting-edge industrial refrigeration equipment we build. It’s how we work with you, every step of the way, to ensure your business operates at peak efficiency. Whether you’re a high-volume poultry processor or a small family-run artisan gelato shop, read on to see why foodservice professionals continue to trust AFE for commercial cooling equipment service and freezing solutions.

AFE’s Commitment to Quality and Innovation

Imagine this scenario: a perfectly crafted machine, designed to keep your food products fresher for longer while increasing operational efficiency, arrives at your processing plant. From the moment you turn it on, it runs seamlessly. That’s the vision we deliver at AFE.

Our individual quick freezers (IQF freezers) and cooling machines are crafted with the foodservice industry’s unique needs in mind. Each unit is fabricated in the Netherlands, where meticulous craftsmanship ensures performance that lasts. We follow stringent C.S.A., U.S.D.A., and O.S.H.A. standards to produce equipment with an uncompromising commitment to hygiene, functionality, and longevity. This means a fully welded enclosure, sloped flooring for easy cleaning, LED lighting, and design specifications that prioritize food safety.

We don’t stop at quality—we push boundaries. Our custom commercial freezers and customized commercial freezers are tailored to meet the specific requirements of your business. Whether you need customizations for space constraints, temperature variances, or specific product needs, we collaborate with you to design equipment that adapts to how you work, not the other way around.

Why Food Freezing Matters More Than Ever

Food freezing solutions, like AFE’s iqf freezers, are revolutionizing the foodservice industry. Why? Because freezing doesn’t just preserve freshness—it protects your bottom line.

Modern individual quick freezing (IQF) technology ensures that each food item is frozen individually, avoiding clumping and retaining its structure, texture, and flavor. Imagine frozen raspberries that don’t mush together or seafood that’s easy to portion without defrosting the entire lot. With AFE’s advanced food freezers, your business can preserve quality and reduce waste while delivering exceptional, fresh-tasting products every time.

Whether you’re freezing fruits, vegetables, proteins, or prepared meals, AFE’s customized commercial freezers provide the versatility and safeguards you need to produce consistent, high-quality outcomes. This isn’t just an investment in equipment—it’s an investment in your reputation.
