Chill Rate Management: How the Quality of Your Control Systems Can Affect Your Bottom Line
November 21, 2024In the food service industry, precision is everything. From ingredient measurements to cook times, every detail can make or break the quality of the final product. But precision doesn’t stop when the cooking does; it’s equally crucial during chilling and freezing. Chill rate management refers to the precise control of how quickly temperatures are reduced in food processing environments, and it is a critical aspect of food production that affects efficiency, product quality, and, ultimately, profitability.
Cleaning in Place (CIP): How AFE is Perfecting the Process
February 19, 2024CIP (Clean in Place) systems play a crucial role in maintaining cleanliness and efficiency in food processing facilities, ensuring the safety and quality of the products we consume. But why exactly are they so essential?
CIP (Clean in Place) systems are automated systems used to clean processing equipment without disassembly, minimizing downtime and water usage. They’re vital in mass food production, as they ensure thorough sanitation, compliance with regulations, and minimize the risk of contamination.
Sealed By Steel: The Advantages of Stainless Steel for Food Processing
August 23, 2022Stainless steel has become an increasingly popular choice for food production equipment in recent years. There are many advantages in using stainless steel for food processing–including durability, corrosion resistance, and anti-bacterial properties. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at each of these benefits and more.
Fighting The Good Fight: How AFE Systems Inhibit Bacterial Growth
May 28, 2022Microorganisms and bacteria may be small, but they are responsible for billion-dollar losses each year to the food industry. Far worse is the human cost— bacterial infections caused by Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Escherichia Coli are responsible for 9 out of 10 food-borne diseases in the world today. It is vitally important that science equip the food industry with the ability to inhibit bacterial growth.
Fortunately, multiple technologies (both physical and chemical) have been developed to control unwanted microorganisms in food production and storage.
Hygienic and Sanitary Design for Improved Food Processing
July 28, 2021When food processors commit to improved equipment hygiene, they mitigate the risk of product recalls, food waste, costly downtime, damaged reputation, and, most importantly, they mitigate the risk to consumer health.
What is your OEM doing to inhibit bacteria from forming and harboring in equipment? Let’s look at ways manufacturers can better prevent bacteria harborage.
Spiral Freezers: A Location Option for IQF Freezers
April 1, 2021Limited Space for IQF Freezers? An AFE Spiral Freezer is a Great Solution
You have a need to expand and need a bigger industrial freezer, or need an additional processing line with a new freezer. However, you just don’t have the floor space for a freezer that takes up 900+ square feet. Have you ever thought about a freezing solution that is placed outside? AFE has provided several freezing solutions that are placed outside to allow greater production floor space inside the facility. With that, AFE’s designs ensure that your external freezer is more than capable of withstanding the outside environment while providing the highest standards in proper product freezing.
AFE uses state-of-the-art fabrication technologies including laser cutting, robotic welding, and various CNC machines to manufacturer its spiral freezers. So much precision goes into our equipment that some in the industry call us the “BMW of spiral freezers.”
AFE provides customized sizing for all applications. Contrary to the standard thinking, customizing is not more expensive, but ensures you are not buying more freezer than you need. Let’s explore the different types of spiral freezers and how AFE can meet your needs.
Why You Need Clean In Place (CIP) Systems For Spiral Freezers and IQF Tunnels
January 22, 2021Food processing facilities and food processors must be vigilant about hygiene. Their business depends on it. For decades, Advanced Food Equipment (AFE) has helped food processing operations maintain sanitation with the most hygienic and efficient Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) freezers and cooling equipment for all kinds of food products. AFE’s comprehensive Clean In Place systems for spiral freezers and IQF tunnels provide easy-to-operate, automated washing capabilities that save money and help eliminate downtime.
Prevent Product Contamination With AFE’s Unsurpassed Hygienic Designs
October 18, 2018
Whomever coined the phrase “There is no such thing as bad publicity” clearly never worked in the food industry. When it comes to food prep, all publicity matters because having a positive consumer perception of your company is the key to success. That’s why companies big and small understand the seriousness of making headlines for product contamination.
