Frostmark - Industrial Refrigeration Systems, Blast and IQF Tunnel Freezers, Brine Freezer, Water / Seawater Chillers and Drying Systems

FrostMark ehf. was founded in 1996 with its main field of expertise within the refrigeration systems. Today the company offers a wide range of services to the food industry based on years of close co-operation with the Icelandic fishing industry, one of the most demanding and developed industries in the world.

Furthermore we have widespread experience in delivering total solutions for the food processing industry.  We have extensive experience in foreign markets and have been in the process of expanding our export activities over the last years.

Our newest project was to deliver a fully equipped fish processing factory to Alpha Group Uganda. These included the building, process equipment, refrigeration system, IQF-freezer, plate-freezer, water chilling unit, ice machine and air-condition system.

Our strength is based on solid and personal connections to our customer all around the world along with thorough understanding of our customer's practical requirements. This means that FrostMark ehf. is uniquely positioned to deliver the advanced expertise and service needed to provide and maintain consistently high-profit food processing operations. 

INDUSTRIAL REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS

We design and manufacture state of the art refrigeration systems for the food industry, using the latest available technology. The systems can be either centralized for multiple user applications or simple ones for standalone application. When designing a refrigeration system we always have user friendly control, reliable operation and low energy consumption as the main criteria.

All our refrigeration systems can be monitored through LAN computer network at the customer's site or from our service department over the internet. This ensures operational safety and reduces maintenance cost by simplifying fault analyzing of the system.

BRINE FREEZER

The Brine freezer is a unique way to reduce energy consumption of the IQF freezing process in the shrimp and scallop industry and at the same time increase existing freezing capacity.

By pre-freezing the product in the brine freezer down to a core temperature of -2°C, 50% of thermal energy has been removed from the product prior it's entry to the IQF freezer.

Brine freezer replaces the traditional brine dipping in the shrimp factories and increases product yields by approximately 1%-2% through considerable reduction of drip. Furthermore lump freezing of the product is eliminated. An additional benefit is improved visual appearance of the final product.

The system consists of a dipping bin with elevating conveyor, topped up with brine mixture at a temperature of -5.5°C, brine heat exchanger, refrigeration system and saline tank. The control system is user friendly with all parameters easily adjusted. FrostMark's brine freezer is manufactured from durable stainless steel and is custom made after the client's capacity demands.

WATER CHILLERS / SEAWATER CHILLERS

One simple method to increase quality in the food processing industry is to use chilled water in all stages of the process. Chilled water prevents temperature rise in the raw material during process time and thereby reduces the risk of micro-organism growth that can damage the product.

Water chillers from FrostMark ehf. are ideal to cool down process water in process factories. The system keeps a constant pre-defined temperature in fresh water down to 0.7°C with an accuracy of ± 0.1°C at various flow rates from 40%-100% capacity.

For on-board operation we have designed a unique seawater chiller that keeps a constant pre-defined temperature of the seawater down to -1.2°C with an accuracy of ± 0.1°C at various flow rates from 40% to 100% capacity.

Specially designed control system regulate the flow/temperature ratio and the over all operation of the system with 30%-40% lower energy consumption than previously seen.
