REFRIGERATION SOLUTIONS FOR THE SEAFOOD/FISH INDUSTRY
Seafood products, more than any other food, are subject to extremely rapid spoilage and require high-performance industrial refrigeration systems. Frigo Tecnica Internazionale’s solutions for fish processing and preservation ensure optimal conditions throughout the supply chain, from the incoming raw materials to shipment of the finished product.
With more than 40 years’ experience in the seafood industry, we design specific refrigeration systems to achieve the highest quality standards, both for fresh and ultra-low temperature frozen seafood products, such as tuna treated at -60º C. Our systems integrate temperature-controlled cold storage chambers, quick freezing tunnels (IQF or plate tunnels), circuits with low-GWP natural refrigerants, and continuous monitoring devices for HACCP control.
COMPLETE REALIZATION
OF THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
Frigo Tecnica Internazionale manages the entire cycle of industrial refrigeration equipment implementation, from design to commissioning.
Each project is the result of a detailed analysis that considers thermal loads, operating conditions, and current regulations (F-Gas, ATEX), with the goal of developing efficient and reliable solutions.
Engineering includes refrigeration system sizing, component selection, and control logic. In-house manufacturing ensures construction quality and traceability. Onsite installation includes assembly, wiring, and integration with any existing systems.
Testing, performance checks and issue of technical documentation are performed during commissioning of the refrigeration system.
Structured after-sales services complete the offering: maintenance, service, retrofit and revamping to ensure operational continuity and compliance with environmental regulations.
Preliminary technical analysis, definition of needs, assessment of regulatory and operational constraints, with the goal of developing a tailored, highly efficient solution.
Refrigeration system sizing, component selection, and control logic design. Everything is geared toward ensuring reliability, performance, and ease of operation.
In-house production of components in controlled environments to ensure build quality, traceability, and certain lead times.
On-site system installation, including mechanical assembly, electrical wiring, thermal insulation piping works and integration with any existing systems.
Performing functional testing, performance verification, testing and issuing technical documentation upon completion of the system.
Routine and extraordinary maintenance, technical support, retrofitting and revamping to ensure operational continuity and compliance with environmental regulations.

LENGTHY EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELD OF SEAFOOD REFRIGERATION
Frigo Tecnica Internazionale’s integrated approach enables it to accompany the customer at every stage, from system design to operational management. In the seafood sector, where processing times are critical and the risk of spoilage high, system reliability is a determining factor.
Frigo Tecnica Internazionale’s solutions include rapid cooling systems, frozen food storage cells, blast chilling systems and optimized thermal distribution. The use of natural refrigerants and high-efficiency technologies helps reduce energy consumption and protect the marine environment. After-sales service ensures operational continuity and rapid intervention in any production environment.
FAQs
Ice makers, positive cold rooms at 0 °C for fresh fish, blast chillers, and freezing tunnels for industrial freezing are essential.
In addition, processing rooms must be refrigerated and air conditioned to ensure continuity of the cold chain and compliance with sanitation regulations.
Fresh fish should be refrigerated immediately after capture or arrival at the plant, keeping it at 0 °C with flake ice or in positive cold rooms. This slows enzymatic and bacterial spoilage, preserving its organoleptic characteristics for up to 7-9 days, depending on species and packaging.
Refrigeration allows the quality of fish to be maintained, avoiding visual, olfactory and microbiological changes. It is essential for ensuring food safety and meeting distribution times, especially for fresh or processed products such as fillets, shellfish, and ready-made recipes.
The fish is quickly brought down to -18 °C by blast chillers or freezing tunnels. Proper freezing ensures microbiological stability and preserves taste and texture.
Once frozen, it can be stored for several months as long as the cold chain is not interrupted.
