Foodsafe LED-lighting
November 15, 2016Ledlighting
Ledlighting b.v., in association with AFE, has developed LED armature for the food processing industry. The armature complies with the strict legislation and has obtained an official certificate: Foodsafe
Through the application in the food industry, all the components must meet the strict requirements. The components have been tested in laboratories and measure up to the standards of the Food and Drugs industry. The LED is also able to handle extreme temperatures during the production in -30º and cleaning in +70º.
By working together we managed to develop a product that meets all wishes:
- Create little or none ambient heat
- Low maintenance and energy efficient
- Switched on or off without problems at extreme low temperatures.
- Long lifespan in an extreme climate
- Foodsafe

Freezing for Success
August 25, 2016Freezing for Success
If you’re looking for products that reflect the latest advancements in freezing technologies, you’ve come to the right place. Recent enhancements in cooling technologies take into requirements such as energy savings, simplicity of access and use, high performance and cost effectiveness. This is especially applicable to large-scale tunnel freezers, for example, which are used to freeze products such as french fries.
There no longer exists a one-size-fits all approach when it comes to freezing. Now, we are experiencing a shift in focus as we take into account the fact that there needs to exist an alignment between the freezer and the characteristics and state of the finished product. Your products need to adhere to certain hygienic standards and exhibit particular qualities after thawing, preparation, cooking and/or baking. That’s where we come in.
According to the USDA, the estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) or global refrigerated food exports is expected to reach 7.4% before the year 2018, with vegetables being one of the most frequently sold commodities worldwide. The ongoing advancements that we constantly developing in regards to freezing technologies allow for a faster development of energy efficient equipment.
With over 150 years of combined experience, AFE has the necessary skills and expertise to handle your needs with confidence.
