Product Details

Industrial Refrigeration Pvt. Ltd. (IRL) offers Blast Freezer systems to the food industry.

Blast chilling 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. This method of preserving food is commonly used in food catering and, recently, in the preparation of 'instant' foods, as it ensures the safety and quality of the food product.

A blast freezer may also be known as a shock freezer. Such freezers are intended to rapidly bring the temperature of foods down, freezing them extremely quickly. These specialized freezers are used in the frozen food industry for everything from ice cream to television dinners and they are also utilized in some commercial kitchens for specialty tasks.

When food is frozen, the water inside it crystallizes. If freezing takes place at relatively warm temperatures, the ice crystals which form will be large. In a blast freezer, the extremely cold temperature promotes very rapid freezing, which creates small ice crystals. The smaller the crystals, the less damage to the food, as large crystals can rupture cells. Once the food has been frozen in a blast freezer, it can be moved to a more conventional freezer for storage, as long as the freezer stays cold enough to keep the food frozen.

Applications :

Freezing into blocks is an effective economical method of preserving, handling transporting and storing perishable products. Horizontal Plate Freezer in one easy operation, ideal for freezing fish, offal’s, fruit puree, fish fillets, shrimp and vegetables.
Products are simply placed into horizontal pockets between the aluminum freezing plates. After freezing, the blocks can be unloaded manually or mechanically onto pallets or a conveyor system and within minutes the whole processing cycle can begin again.

Company Details

Industrial Refrigeration (IR) was originally conceived in 1958 when Mr.Ramprasad Ruia pioneered Car Air Conditioning in India. Mr. Ruia decided to name his company Gorakhram Haribux (GH), after his ancestors, Gorakhram & Haribux.
Car-Air Conditioning was followed by Room Air Conditioning. Over the years, GH’s portfolio grew by the addition of Refrigerant gases, Solenoid Valves, Expansion Valves, Thermostats, Controls, Refrigeration Quality Copper Tubes, etc.
IR was eventually spun off as a separate private limited company – Industrial Refrigeration Private Limited (IRL).
In 1974, IR established a factory at Andheri, Mumbai for assembling Car Air conditioners, Room Air Conditioners, Cooling Coils, Ice Plants and Tube Kits for the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration industry.
It was a really difficult period up until the late 1990s, since the government used to consider Refrigeration and Air Conditioning a Luxury Industry. This Industry attracted heavy taxation in the form of import duties and Excise Duty, totaling up to a whopping 200% for some products. IR never believed in short-term gains from evasion of taxes, and it was an uphill task to survive against the competition.
However, IR maintained great market standing by leveraging sourcing, cost control and a deliberate product mix. In the early 1990s, IR started progressing in Food Refrigeration and over the years gained experience in Ice Making Machines, Freezing Plants, Chillers and Cold Storages for temperatures in the range of + 5°C to - 40°C and for applications ranging from Storage of Films to Storage of Seafood. IR takes pride in having executed challenging assignments like setting up a Freezing System onboard a 55 Ft. Fishing Wooden Trawler and a $1 million ice plant in desert conditions in Oman.
Over the years IR entered into several tie-ups with Global Companies like GEA group to introduce the latest refrigeration technologies and practices in India such as Paraffin Wax Freezers for Refineries, Snow Rooms, Ice Skating Rinks, Dairy Refrigeration, Abattoir Refrigeration and Modified & Controlled Atmosphere Cold Stores.
Greater consciousness about food preservation in developing countries is leading to greater demands being placed on IR and this is one challenge IR is eager to face.
Today, IRL offers complete food processing plants & ultra modern cold storages on a near-turnkey basis. IRL represents: IFS of UK, IBEX & Honeywell of UK for refrigeration systems used in supermarkets. Sister company Gorakhram Haribux is one of the oldest & largest suppliers of refrigerant gases like R-22, R-134a, R-410A, R-404A and many more.
IRL is a part of 52-year-old Allstate Group involved in Refrigeration, Transformers, Photography, Leisure equipment, Real estate consultancy, Web development solutions & Media. Some multi-nationals that we have collaborated with include Fujifilm, DuPont, Brunswick Group and ASG Software Solutions, among others.
