When Alfonso (pseudonym) first contacted Joyshine, he already had clear production needs and goals. He runs a seafood processing plant in Mexico, mainly handling various seafood and shellfish products. With growing market demand, he knew that mistakes in the freezing process could directly affect product quality, operating costs, and expansion pace.
—“The first unit must be stable and fast enough.”
For Alfonso, freezing is not a stage that can be repeatedly trialed. Seafood and shellfish require high standards for freezing speed and stability; any compromise can affect packaging, storage, and sales downstream. Therefore, his key principle in selecting equipment was to match production capacity, efficiency, and stability with actual needs. His goal was not just to buy a machine, but to run a replicable processing logic: handle current orders reliably, ensure product quality, and lay a solid foundation for future expansion. Based on this, he carefully screened long-term suitable freezing equipment and contacted Joyshine.
During discussions with Joyshine Sales Manager Abbott, the focus was on differences in freezing various seafood raw materials, ensuring efficiency and product quality in the production line, and equipment adaptability for future expansion. Abbott highlighted design details that gave Alfonso confidence:
—“This tunnel freezer's capacity and design fully match your current order volume while also considering future expansion, ensuring efficiency and product quality.”
After confirming current requirements and future plans, they finalized a 14-meter tunnel freezer with a designed capacity of 500kg/h. This equipment covers current seafood and shellfish processing needs while leaving room for future expansion. The design goals are clear: stable operation, fast freezing, and reliable product quality. If the first phase runs smoothly, the next step is higher-capacity expansion.
During production, Joyshine provided progress updates with pictures and videos. Alfonso said:
—“This is our first time purchasing this type of freezer. Seeing each step of progress gave us great peace of mind.”
Currently, this 500kg/h seafood tunnel freezer is fully manufactured and ready to be shipped to Mexico. For Alfonso, this is only the first verification step: confirming the equipment's stability in real production, validating processing logic, and preparing for larger-scale future processing. Further collaboration is already planned.
Many food processing projects do not start with maximum capacity. The rational choice is: first, select the right capacity and solution; second, expand steadily. This Mexico seafood tunnel freezing project started with a step that is “stable and efficient.”
If you are also looking for reliable freezing solutions for seafood and shellfish, Joyshine's IQF tunnel freezers can be your dependable partner, ensuring stable production, consistent quality, and scalable growth.
