Industrial Refrigeration for Slaughterhouses & the Meat Industry

Control carcass chilling, ageing and storage of your meat with high-precision, HACCP-compliant refrigeration installations.

Food Safety and Weight-Loss Control

In the meat sector (red meat, poultry, cured meats), the initial chilling after slaughter is crucial. Poorly controlled cooling leads to significant weight loss through evaporation, harms meat quality (cold shortening) and increases the risk of microbial growth.
At Afric Froid, we design tailored refrigeration systems for the meat sector that ensure fast temperature pull-down while preserving humidity and production yield.

Our Refrigeration Solutions for the Meat Sector

Our equipment meets the most demanding hygiene standards (HACCP, international health approvals, veterinary rules).

Rapid Carcass Chilling Tunnels & Rooms

Fast chilling of fresh carcasses straight from the slaughter line.

Precise control of airflow and relative humidity to limit weight loss (drip loss) and preserve meat colour.

Ageing Cold Rooms & Rail Storage

Rooms fitted with overhead handling rail systems (stainless or galvanised steel) for carcasses and half-carcasses.

A constant temperature (0°C / +2°C) with fine humidity control for optimal ageing.

Blast Freezing & Rapid Freezing Tunnels (-35°C / -40°C)

Forced-air tunnels (IQF or trolley type) for rapid freezing of cuts, minced steaks, processed products and poultry.

Bacterial activity is stopped and taste and texture are preserved without large ice crystals forming.

Air-Conditioned Cutting & Packing Rooms

A controlled ambient temperature (between +8°C and +12°C) for boning, mincing and packing areas.

Washable textile air ducts deliver clean air without uncomfortable draughts for operators.
