IRL has over 50 years of experience in the field of industrial refrigeration. In addition to industrial refrigeration equipment ranging from IQF Machine to Flake Ice Machine to Cold Storages, IRL offers end-to-end food processing plants & ultra modern cold storages on a near-turnkey basis.
FLAKE ICE MACHINE
The surface area of flake-ice is quite large and covers the product properly. Also being thin, they do not damage the delicate fish skin. The temperatures of the flakers are around -4° to -5°C.
Because of these characteristics, flake ice is often used in food processing industries.
It plays an important part in the seafood industry which is one of major users of flake ice.

PLATE ICE MACHINE
In Plate Ice Machines, plates of ice form on both sides of stainless steel plates. The system is easy to maintain and clean.
These plates of ice are hygienic, transparent and very hard, and can be stored for long periods of time.
Thickness can be adjusted up to 20mm.
Applications
Our plate ice machines are designed to work efficiently in different working conditions, some of the core applications of our Plate Ice Machine are:
FISH PROCESSING
MEAT PROCESSING
POULTRY PROCESSING
SUPERMARKET
LABORATORIES PHARMACEUTICAL
CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

BLAST FREEZER
Blast Freezers are used for Blast Chilling, which is a method of cooling food quickly to a low temperature that is relatively safe from bacterial growth. Bacteria multiply fastest between +8 °C (46 °F) and +68 °C (154 °F).
By reducing the temperature of cooked food from +70 °C (158 °F) to +3 °C (37 °F) or below within 90 minutes, the food is rendered safe for storage and later consumption.
Features
- Stainless steel product belting
- High efficiency aluminum coils or MS hot dip galvanized coils
- High efficiency airfoil fans
- Factory assembled modules. No site assembly of components required
- Aluminum and stainless steel constructed
- Easy access to sanitation and maintenance
- Safe, trouble-free operation
Applications
- Freezing into blocks is an effective economical method of preserving, handling transportation and storing perishable products

IQF (Individually Quick Frozen Method)
IQF (Individually Quick Frozen Method) foods are notable for the fact that each individual piece of food is frozen separately from all the others. For example, a bag of peas processed with IQF technology doesn’t simply contain a solid block of frozen peas, but rather, each of the individually frozen peas is loose inside the bag. Following are the products built on IQF technology offered by IRL:
FLUID BED FREEZER
Industrial Refrigeration are pioneers in promoting IQF Fluid Bed Freezer systems to food industries. Fluidization method is used whereby solid particles float in an upward directed flow of air. If the air is at sub zero temperatures, say minus 35°C, you have a combined method of gentle conveyerisation and fast freezing.
Features
- Stainless steel product belting
- High efficiency aluminum coils or MS Hot dip galvanized coils
- High efficiency airfoil fans
- Factory assembled modules. No site assembly of components required
- Aluminum and stainless steel constructed
- Easy access to sanitation & maintenance
- Safe, trouble-free operation
Applications
VEGETABLE INDUSTRY
Peas, Green beans, Cut corn, Mushrooms, Vegetables, French fries, Cob corn, Diced carrots, Diced onion, Cut cauliflower, Cut broccoli, Cut asparagus, Brussels sprouts.
FRUITS INDUSTRY
