Prepared and catered foods

Consumer-ready foods such as pizza, sandwiches and ready-meals are often high value products which lead consumers to demand high quality, long shelf-life, fresh appearance, great taste and the frequent introduction of new variants. 

The catering industry has always been challenged to deliver fresh, fine foods of the highest quality. Last-minute production is often required to meet these demands which can be an inefficient and very expensive way to operate. 

BOC provides a broad range of flexible cryogenic systems to efficiently and effectively freeze, chill and package your prepared meals at low capital cost, giving you high product quality and allowing you to produce very innovative value-added products.

Cryogenic freezing is extremely popular for products which need to be frozen quickly after cooking such as ready-made meals, pizzas, battered and fried products as well as coated products to maintain quality and reduce the risk of contamination. BOC has a wealth of experience and a range of cryogenic freezers to suit the needs of the industry.
