In recent years, China's salmon farming industry has experienced significant growth, driven by innovative technologies such as the SPEEDCRYO liquid nitrogen ultra-low temperature freezer. The development comes at a critical time when Japanese seafood exports face obstacles due to environmental issues such as emissions and wastewater, making it difficult for high-quality Japanese seafood to enter the Chinese market.
Since 2023, a salmon farming company in Xinjiang, China has launched a major expansion plan. Recognizing the growing domestic demand for quality seafood, the company invested in state-of-the-art freezing technology. Conventional freezing methods, which operate at temperatures of -30°C to -40°C, have traditionally failed to preserve the texture and nutritional content of salmon, especially given its premium market positioning and high consumer expectations.
Liquid nitrogen freezing technology is a key factor in maintaining the flavor and nutritional integrity of salmon. Unlike traditional methods, liquid nitrogen freezing forms tiny, uniform ice crystals that preserve the salmon’s cellular structure. This ensures the salmon retains its fresh texture and vibrant color when defrosted, appealing to discerning consumers.
To accommodate its expanding business and ensure the highest quality standards, this mentioned salmon farm located in Xinjiang has integrated two additional large-scale liquid nitrogen IQF tunnel freezers, a 15-meter and a 19-meter tunnel to its existing 15-meter unit. This strategic investment underscores the company's commitment to meeting the growing demand for premium frozen seafood while maintaining uncompromising quality.
Going forward, the adoption of liquid nitrogen ultra-low temperature technology is expected to be popular with seafood companies looking for superior freezing solutions. SPEEDCRYO has always been committed to providing reliable freezers and excellent services to food industry participants, ensuring the integrity and freshness of various products.
