What is frozen storage?

At Magnavale, we provide temperature-controlled storage solutions including frozen, chill and ambient warehouses. Storing products at frozen temperatures can safely preserve food products for extended periods of time. Whilst standard temperatures vary across the industry, our UK-wide frozen storage facilities are kept at -18°C, which are suitable for most food products.

Our frozen warehouses are designed to accommodate palletised stock within our racking systems. At Magnavale, we accept all pallet presentations, including UK standard pallets and EU pallets.

Reducing Food Waste with Frozen
Many food manufacturers store their bulk stock in frozen warehousing to preserve shelf life which facilitates the national and global distribution of their product.

Not only can a frozen supply chain offer greater supply chain flexibility, but it can also significantly reduce food waste. Forecasting and planning peaks and troughs in demand can be managed much more easily when dealing with stock in a frozen warehouse and consequently lead to less food waste and unnecessary costs.

Blast Freezing Solutions

Technological advancements in freezing methods, such as blast freezing, have made freezing food much faster and more efficient. With the blast freezer, bulk stock can be frozen quickly whilst limiting any change to the product’s overall quality, taste, texture and appearance. Our blast freezing facilities across our four cold storage facilities can freeze a vast range of food products, including dairy, poultry, pork and bakery products, such as pastries and bread.
