RoteX Thawing®

The RoteX Thawing® system is an advanced thawing system for food products, especially ideal for frozen fish blocks or individually frozen fish. The system provides full control over thawing time, water temperature, throughput per hour and energy consumption—all thanks to the ON-TRACK computer, which precisely regulates flow and temperature.

The water in the tank is recycled through heat exchanger which regulates the temperature in the tank and ensures that the water temperature is evenly distributed throughout the whole tank. The patented side injection of water and air provides the right amount of pressure on the product during thawing process, so individual pieces separate faster. The system is designed to maximize product quality in the thawing process and minimize drip loss. Better yield is achieved by preserving more raw material—expected yield increases are between 1-5%. Also, thawing with low temperature inhibits bacterial growth and increases the surface quality of the product.

The RoteX Thawing® system is installed with an automatic infeed system so that the frozen product enters at a rate to optimize system capacity. The system is available in various sizes and the tank can hold product from  2.6 to 10 metric tons per tank. The total capacity of the system depends on the product type and block size.
