Vacuum - cooling has become standard practice in the veg sector . The German family business , Mefus & Frisch , advises on and supplies these organisation . They ’ve been doing so for German clients for almost ten years . They work closely with their provider , Weber Cooling . However , fit in to Gerhard and Thomas Frisch , the range of products that can be cooled using this proficiency has n’t yet been fully exploited .
Mefus & Frisch is active in the field of refrigeration installation on the German market . Even before teaming up with Weber Cooling . " decently from the start , we complement each other utterly . Weber used to mainly supply vacuum pre - coolers . However , large industrial society benefit more from undivided , tailor - made solutions . Together with Weber , we ’re able to respond flexibly to this type of request . We ’ve now in full mastered this market segment in just a few year , " say Gerhard Frisch , Mefus & Frisch ’s fourth-year managing director .
Gerhard Frisch and his son , Thomas , at Fruit Logistica 2020 .
Mefus & Frisch now supplies about ten vacuum refrigeration systems annually . These installations ' vacuum and cool performance has improved considerably over the years , Gerhard maneuver out . " There are many coolant usable today . subsidised industrial plant apply only born refrigerants such as propane and CO2 . Smaller operations , on the other hired man , rely on synthetic option . "
Vacuum vs. air coolingAccording to Frisch , the vacuum method acting is increasingly get ahead preference over breeze chilling . " First of all , products mislay less moisture . That ’s advantageous for the user since it means higher product quality and weight . Unlike line cooling , vacuum systems cool from the inside out . That protects the product ’s aerofoil , resulting in importantly longer shelf life . "
The range of products that can be cool down using this method acting has also grown considerably . " We started with lettuce and vegetables only . Nowadays , we can apply vacuum applied science to also refrigerate sods , herbs , and , more recently , mushroom-shaped cloud . But , we ’ve encounter that this method ca n’t be used for all Cartesian product , like strawberry and asparagus . We play nearly with Weber Cooling . And we ’re now enquire possible further program , include outside the fruit and vegetable sector . "
Centralized systemsCentralized systems - multiple infrigidation compressor linked by a key installation - are becoming increasingly common too . " This system ’s principal advantage is being able to adapt the cooling performance to the system ’s requirements . After all , these facility can easy adjust to the goods ' full exercising weight . That ultimately improve the cooled products ' temperature and quality , " says Frisch . Also , unlike single instalment , you could chill several products simultaneously , each under the appropriate conditions .

Long - term partnershipThe Dörmann family from the German vegetable company , Frische aus Westfalen ’s , has been a client from the very start . " We ’ve been using Mefus & Frisch refrigeration applied science for decades . We now have two void coolers , " says the current handler , Sebastian Dörmann . " We ’re delighted with their service of process . And after so many age , we jazz what we can offer each other . "
These vacuum - cooling systems considerably simplify this cultivation company ’s summons . " With schematic infrigidation applied science , it sometimes takes days - depending on the outdoor temperature - for products to strain commercially - ask temperatures . Thanks to the vacuity ice chest , this summons only acquire 20 to 30 minutes . That means if we obtain an parliamentary law in the morning , we can harvest the vegetable in the good afternoon . We can then cool them and deliver them that same dark . So , the products on the securities industry are much fresher , only a day onetime , " say Sebastian .

Sebastian state the product also store better . " The sooner merchandise ' inside temperatures omit , the longer their ledge life at the guest . They do n’t have to be stored for as long in our even refrigerator either . There is another tenacious - term advantage - our cold stores have less habiliment and teardrop . After all , products no longer demand to be actively cooled , just kept at the right temperature , " he concludes .
