The Hoyer Frigus LF 1000-F1 is a new high-speed low-temperature freezer from Tetra Pak Hoyer. The new freezer promises top cost efficiency and premium quality. As part of a complete ice cream production line, this highly efficient machine guarantees top quality and good sensory properties even in low-fat products.

Unlike traditional continuous freezers which chill ice cream mix down to -6°C, the Hoyer Frigus LF 1000-F1 cools mix rapidly to -12°C prior to filling. Filled products can, in many cases, then be transported direct to the cold store, sidestepping the cooling tunnel and securing maximum production throughput. This super-efficient freezing capability paves the way for even more cost savings via fat reduction. Due to the formation of smaller crystals when frozen at very low temperatures, low-fat ice cream can maintain a high level of creaminess and a warm, full-bodied mouthfeel. The Hoyer Frigus LF 1000-F1 is initially available for bulk production. Another version for sandwich products is planned for launch early in 2004. The machine also offers easy installation.
