Q&A about spacers

About Spacers - Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are ventilation spacers?

A: FreezeTeq ventilation spacers are specially designed plastic spacers placed between layers of boxes or crates during freezing. They improve airflow throughout the pallet, ensuring faster, more uniform freezing, enhanced product quality, and significant energy savings.

Q2: What benefits do FreezeTeq spacers offer over traditional freezing methods?

A:

  • Shortened freezing times (up to 30–40% faster)
  • Improved product quality through uniform freezing
  • Energy savings and reduced CO₂ emissions
  • Stronger pallet stability and less risk of box collapse
  • Reusable and easy to handle (ergonomic and hygienic design)
Q3: Can FreezeTeq spacers be used during transport?

A: Yes! Our spacers are durable and stack-stable, making them suitable for transport, ensuring the integrity of pallet stacks even under rough handling.

Q4: Are they compatible with existing automation systems?

A: FreezeTeq spacers are designed to work seamlessly with both manual and automated handling systems, improving operational efficiency without needing major infrastructure changes.

Q5: How do I know if I need ventilation spacers?

A: You might benefit from FreezeTeq spacers if you are:

  • Expanding your freezing capacity
  • Struggling with uneven or slow freezing
  • Dealing with high energy costs
  • Concerned about product damage or collapsing pallet stacks
Q6: What makes FreezeTeq spacers different from other brands?

A: FreezeTeq spacers are engineered with optimal airflow geometry, high durability, and easy handling in mind. Our design focuses on performance, hygiene, and sustainability, helping clients achieve better freezing results with lower operational costs.

Q7: How long do FreezeTeq spacers last?

A: FreezeTeq spacers are made of long-lasting, recyclable plastic materials designed for years of repeated use in extreme cold and humid conditions.

Q8: Can I test the spacers before committing to a large order?

A: We do offer product samples so you can experience the design and quality of the spacers. However – in order to experience the full effect of using the spacers, these must be applied all pallet stacks in your freezer. Only in this way you can exploit the full potential of spacers by improving the airflow throughout your freezer compartment.

Q9: What are the main factors I should consider when choosing a spacer solution?

A: Based on our client feedback, top decision parameters include:

  • Freezing time reduction
  • Energy savings
  • Product quality improvement
  • Support of box layers during freezing and transport
  • Ease of handling and durability
  • Compliance with sustainability goals
