What QFM Does Differently

QFM was built to solve the actual problems operators were having with traditional common-plenum blast cells.

Inside the QFM air plenum — a dedicated, variable-speed EC fan at every rack position drives airflow straight through the pallet.
Per-position fan

Auto-Start EC Fans at every location.

No more relying on bulk plenum airflow to push through the center of pallets. Every QFM has its own variable-speed EC fan that starts automatically when a pallet is loaded.

Connected

Wi-Fi to the QFM dashboard.

Every unit reports cycle status, temperature, and runtime to the cloud. See what’s happening across your facility from any device. Integrates with AutoSense for full cycle automation.

More CFM

Significant CFM-per-pallet improvement.

Compared to common-plenum systems, QFM delivers measurably more airflow through each pallet. Faster cycles, better consistency.

Drop-in fit

Lives inside your existing racking.

QFM is designed to install into existing select racking. No new infrastructure, minimal facility downtime during install.

Adaptable

Telescoping for any rack open height.

Each unit telescopes to fit the rack opening it’s installed in. One product, every rack configuration.

Floor or rack

Run pallets at floor level too.

Want to skip the rack entirely? QFM can freeze pallets at floor level. Same unit, same dashboard, same performance.

QFM + AutoSeal + AutoSense

The 2024 accessories that turn QFM into a fully automatic blast-freezing platform.

AutoSense — the smart control box that senses core temperature and ends the cycle automatically.

+ AutoSeal

Patented flexible seal that form-fits to any pallet shape and stacking quality. Eliminates bypass air. Handles pallet height variability without operator intervention.

+ AutoSense

Patented touchless internal core temperature sensing. The QFM knows when each pallet is done and ends the cycle automatically. Maximizes turns per shift.

Common Questions About QFM

What facility engineers, operators, and BD teams ask before specing QFM.

How fast can a QFM unit freeze a pallet?
Freeze time depends on product, case dimensions, and starting temperature. In production environments, QFM cuts cycle times dramatically compared to common-plenum blast cells because each unit pushes dedicated airflow through its own pallet position. When paired with AutoSeal and AutoSense, the unit runs only as long as the product actually needs — typical operators see significant turn-rate gains within the first week.
Does QFM require new refrigeration capacity?
Usually no. QFM is designed to install inside existing select racking and operate within your current refrigeration load. Our Blast Ready Report calculates how many QFM units your specific freezer room can support without adding refrigeration capacity.
How long does QFM installation take?
The telescoping design means individual QFM units install into existing racking in roughly 10 minutes per pallet position. Most facilities are blast-freezing the same week installation begins.
What is the electrical requirement for QFM?
QFM units run on 3-phase power and daisy-chain together, drawing less than 1 amp per unit. See the QFM Electrical Submittal documents for 480V/30A and 400V configurations.
Can QFM units be moved if blast demand shifts?
Yes. QFM is modular by design. Units can be uninstalled, relocated, and reinstalled in roughly 10 minutes per position, making seasonal or facility-layout shifts straightforward.
How does QFM connect to my warehouse management system?
QFM connects to facility Wi-Fi and reports cycle status, runtime, and temperature to the QFM Dashboard in the cloud. Integration with Warehouse Management Software (WMS) allows operators to set SKU-specific dwell times automatically.
What is the difference between QFM and a traditional blast cell?
Traditional blast cells rely on bulk plenum airflow to push through whatever pallets are in the room. QFM puts a dedicated, variable-speed EC fan at every pallet position, so airflow goes through the pallet rather than around it. The result: faster, more consistent freezing at lower energy cost per pallet.
