QF+ — In-Rack Pallet Freezing System

QuickFreeze Heritage · Retired 2021

QF+

QF+ was QuickFreeze’s in-rack, common-plenum blast freezing system — the platform that proved vacuum-pull airflow and led directly to today’s QFM. QF+ was discontinued in 2021 and replaced by the modular QFM, which carries its airflow philosophy forward in a per-pallet design.

The System That Led to QFM

QF+ pioneered the airflow approach that defines every QuickFreeze product today — pulling air through pallets instead of blasting at them.

Vacuum-pull airflow

Through the pallet, not around it

High-pressure fans created a vacuum that drew chilled air through every pallet, pulling heat away as fast as the product would release it. The same principle drives QFM today.

Even & predictable

No sweet spots, no slow spots

Air was pulled uniformly through every position for consistent core temperatures across the whole rack — the food-safety foundation QFM inherited.

Patented swing seal

Adapted to pallet height

The exclusive swing gate adjusted to mixed pallet heights so short stacks didn’t compromise the rest of the rack — the idea that evolved into the dynamic AutoSeal.

Why QFM Replaced QF+

In 2021 QuickFreeze moved from the fixed in-rack QF+ to the modular QFM — a self-contained unit that freezes one pallet per cell, retrofits into standard racking, and adds the touchless AutoSense core-temperature sensing and the dynamic AutoSeal pallet seal. Same vacuum-pull airflow QF+ proved — now per-pallet, smarter, and connected.
