About QuickFreeze
More than 20 years of pallet-freezing innovation, built around one idea: cold-storage operators deserve equipment that actually works in the real world.
Why QuickFreeze Exists
Most blast-cell technology hasn’t materially changed since 1970. We thought it should.
The problem we keep solving
Traditional bulk-airflow blast cells struggle to push reliable air velocity through the center of pallets. Pallets shorter than the open height create unobstructed air pathways that jeopardize freeze quality. Operators end up dropping cell temperature to compensate — paying in energy and waiting longer for results.
What we do about it
QuickFreeze designs modular, per-position freezing systems that put a dedicated EC fan and a smart control loop at every pallet position. AutoSeal handles the bypass-air problem. AutoSense ends the over-cycling. The result is more pallets per shift at lower utility cost.
A Family in the Freezing Business
QuickFreeze is led by the Tippmann family, whose roots in refrigeration run nearly a century deep.
The Tippmann family has been involved in industrial refrigeration since the 1930s and in cold storage since the 1970s — generations of hands-on experience designing, building, and operating the systems that keep the food supply frozen. That heritage is why QuickFreeze engineering still starts on the warehouse floor, with the operators who run the units every shift — not in a conference room.
Today the company is led by Bob Tippmann, President, and Dan Tippmann, whose decades in the industry shaped the per-position freezing philosophy behind QF+, QFM, AutoSeal, and AutoSense. The patent shown above is one of an extensive portfolio the family holds in pallet freezing.

The Innovation Timeline
A short history of pallet-freezing at QuickFreeze.
1970–2008
Industry built around common-plenum blast cells with limited control over per-pallet airflow.
2008
QuickFreeze introduces the original QF common-plenum platform.
2010–2014
Iterative improvements — better seals, better controls, better hardware.

2024
AutoSeal and AutoSense ship. QFM unit #10,000 is produced.
Built for the Operators Who Actually Run It
QuickFreeze equipment is designed by people who spend time on the floor with the operators using it. If something doesn’t work in your facility, we want to hear about it — and fix it.
