IQF by Neologic Engineers
Neologic Engineers’ uniquely designed IQF - Individual Quick-Freezing technology helps in storing food in frozen form. Each food item is frozen individually to avoid clutter, preserve high-quality, and give unparalleled convenience to end-users. IQF is beneficial in quick freezing, as it freezes all the small products individually by keeping them separate from each other.
Neologic Engineers unique IQF can be used for freezing:
- Green Peas
- Sweet Corn
- Strawberries
- Cherries
- Mango Chunks
- Pineapple Chunks
- Mango Cubes
- Avocado Dices
- Paneer Cubes
- Cheese Flakes and many more
Individual Quick-Freezing Technology USP
Frozen foods have outstanding quality and nutritive value. IQF is a method that does not allow large ice crystals to form in vegetable cells which helps in preventing from any nutritional or flavor loss. Also, since each piece is individually frozen, particles do not cohere, and the final product is not frozen into a solid block.
- Superior Freezing Efficiency
- Better Energy Efficiency
- Possibility of long work hours without defrosting

The Best IQF Provider
Neologic Engineers is one of the best IQF provider because of the functional advantages provided by them.
- Rapid freezing rates in commercial operations are achieved through an insulated tunnel with vigorous circulation of cold air.
- Food commodities are passed through this tunnel on trays or belts, where they are fluidized to form a bed of particles.
- Cold air is forced upward through the bed, partially lifting or suspending the particles, which leads to speedy freezing.
- Takes only minutes, preventing the formation of large ice crystals that can damage cell membranes, preserving the product's shape, color, smell, and taste after defrost.
- Allows for individual unit freezing, enhancing product quality compared to block freezing, and promoting food sustainability by enabling consumers to thaw only the needed quantity.
- Rapid freezing in IQF prevents the formation of large, disruptive ice crystals throughout the product, preserving cell integrity and avoiding damage during thawing.

Why Choose Neologic Engineers IQF Machine?
- We create a uniquely designed machine based on the customer requirement that suits their conditions making the design highly customized.
- Easy to clean design makes all points inside easily accessible providing the ease of washing & sanitizing.
- The design has ability to adapt to the needs of the moment by adjusting the efficiency of the fluidization and subsequently crusting & final freezing.
- The design is complete with the ASR system (Automatic System for Removing frost from the evaporator during tunnel work, thanks to jets of "dry" high pressure air. The aim is to maintain constant ventilation conditions - temperature - heat exchange as much as possible, reducing defrost stops even for several days.
