Highly efficient, ultra-compact and sustainable rapid freezer for pharmaceutical products such as blood plasma and for high value food.
Highly efficient, ultra-compact and sustainable rapid freezer for pharmaceutical products such as blood plasma and for high value food.
Blood plasma can be used in a variety of ways after donation and forms the basis for various life-saving medicines or can be transfused directly. In order to maintain the quality and effectiveness of the blood plasma, it must be frozen quickly and in a controlled manner before storage.
The RefoBlast was developed precisely for this purpose. This sustainable rapid blast freezer cools blood plasma bags and bottles with maximum efficiency to a core temperature of -25 °C. The RefoBlast has minimal space and service requirements and is also free from environmental regulations due to the refrigerant used.
Each RefoBlast features two independent freezing chambers, each equipped with its own refrigeration unit. The machines use the natural refrigerant propane (R290) and are unaffected by the EU F-Gas phase-down and potential PFAS restrictions under REACH. Due to the low amount of propane per hermetically sealed refrigerant circuit, the RefoBlast is also not subject to any additional safety requirements or installation conditions.
The compact design of the RefoBlast allows it to be accommodated on a footprint of less than 5 square meters, including the service area and door opening. Several freezers can be placed directly next to each other for easy scaling for larger donation centers. The air-cooled machines do not require cooling water; temperature control of the installation room is sufficient. This is easier to implement than a separate cold water supply, especially in rented premises. If a cold water supply is available, the RefoBlast can be ordered as a water-cooled version, also to enable the waste heat to be used for heating purposes.
To simplify service, the refrigeration units can be easily exchanged on-site as modules without the need for specialized personnel. The replaced units are then repaired at the factory.
The RefoBlast sets new standards in blood plasma freezing.
The RefoBlast is designed for blood plasma bags with a product volume of 850 ml.
Up to 30 bags can be distributed on the trays. A very high air exchange rate ensures homogeneous and rapid freezing of each bag.
Using the same racking system, 850 ml blood plasma bottles can also be placed upright with just two trays.
Up to 40 bottles can be distributed across the two trays, each measuring 450 mm by 600 mm. By reducing the number of bottles, the freezing time can be shortened.
The flexible shelving system in the 160 l (net) freezer room allows for the freezing of many other products. From high-quality foods like blueberries, which are shock-frozen immediately after harvesting, to cold packs for last-mile delivery services. Contact us, and we'll find a solution for your product!
