RoteX Thawing®

The RoteX Thawing™ system is designed for efficient thawing of frozen food products, especially frozen fish blocks and individually frozen items. Using the ON-TRACK computer system, it provides full control over thawing time, water temperature, throughput, and energy consumption. The patented side injection of water and air ensures uniform pressure, which helps individual pieces separate faster, while the system recycles water through a heat exchanger for consistent temperature distribution.

ROI and Sustainability

The system uses a fraction of the energy required by defrosting chambers using heat and steam or microwaves and radio frequency systems. RoteX Thawing® also offers substantial water savings compared to conventional systems. Tub thawing systems use about 5 liters of water for every kg of fish, while the RoteX Thawing® system uses only 0.5 liters for every kg of fish.

• Precise Control: Fully automated with ON-TRACK for temperature and timing control, optimizing thawing efficiency.
• Minimal Drip Loss: Helps preserve raw material and improves yield (1-5% increase).
• Improved Food Safety: Low-temperature thawing minimizes bacterial growth and maintains surface quality.
• Water and Energy Efficient: Uses significantly less water and energy compared to traditional thawing methods.
• Single Operator: Designed for easy operation with minimal labor requirements.

The RoteX Thawing™ system addresses the challenge of thawing frozen products without compromising quality, safety, or yield.

• FIFO principle: first-in-first-out
• Full temperature and timing control
• Minimal drip loss
• Fish ready for processing immediately at the end of the Thawing and Equalizing process
• Low temperature thawing, decreases the risk of bacterial growth and surface damage of the product
• Reduces labor down to one operator
• Water savingEnergy savings
