In food industry investments, a two-year payback period is often the benchmark. Yeah, it's a tight target.🎯 And honestly, it rules out a lot of equipment before the conversation even starts. But controlled thawing is one of those solutions where the numbers can genuinely surprise you! Because the savings aren't coming from doing something new. They're coming from stopping something that's already happening: yield loss. Traditional thawing methods typically result in around 5% product loss. Controlled thawing usually brings that down to around 1.5%. On a capacity of 9,000 kg per shift, that difference adds up to roughly 78,750 kg saved annually. At €8/kg, that's €630,000 in product savings alone - before you factor in energy costs and labour hours. Payback period in that example: around four months. This is why the payback calculation is one of the most important tools in our sales process. Price matters - especially when markets are tight. But with thawing equipment, the more relevant question is rarely "what does it cost" and almost always "what is the yield loss currently costing you." Most of the time, the answer changes the conversation completely. #FoodIndustry #FoodTech #MeatProcessing #Thawing #ROI

5 things to consider when choosing a thawing system 💰 There's real savings potential in thawing, as long as the investment decision is made carefully. These five factors have the greatest impact on payback time: 1. Thawing loss. Often the single largest cost that gets overlooked in investment calculations. With conventional methods, loss can reach 5–6% of the product's weight. With controlled thawing, it drops to around 1–1.5%. Over a full year, that difference adds up to significant savings. 2. Energy efficiency. Thawing technologies differ considerably. Cold-water thawing uses large volumes of water; air-circulation-based thawing uses none. Energy costs must always be factored into the calculation. 3. Capacity and flexibility. How much thawing capacity do you need? And can the system handle different products at the same time? 4. Labour costs. Does the system require continuous staff involvement, or does it run independently? 5. Total cost of investment. The equipment price is of course central to any payback calculation, but also consider: Is installation and training included in the delivery? What about a service agreement? Are the materials durable and easy to clean? Unnecessary production stoppages extend the payback period. Kometos thawing machines typically pay for themselves in under two years – and in the best cases, in just a few months.

Food security isn't just about growing enough food 🌾 When we talk about global food security, the conversation often focuses on agricultural production. But the chain doesn't end at the farm gate. What happens next matters just as much: how food is processed, stored, and distributed. Without functioning cold chain infrastructure, raw materials don't reach the people who need them – at least not safely. In practice, this means having the freezing capacity to build reserves, and the thawing and processing equipment to release them when needed. Food security is a whole: production, processing, storage, distribution, and all the technology and know-how that supports them. At Kometos, we're proud to play our part in keeping that chain strong. #foodsecurity #foodtech

Investing in thawing equipment: How do you know if they're worth it? 💰 When evaluating a thawing system investment, the numbers tell a compelling story. Here's a real-world example of what goes into a payback calculation. The Investment: • Kometos Thawing system: approx. €200,000 • Capacity: 9 000 kg/shift • Annual capacity: 2,250,000 kg The Savings: • Product loss reduction: Traditional method 5.0% → Kometos method 1.5% • That's 78,750 kg saved annually • At €8.0/kg = €630,000 in product savings Operating Costs: • Process electricity: 890 kWh per shift • Annual process cost: €66,750 (electricity price as variable) • Annual net savings after process costs: €563,250/year The Result: Payback period of just 0.3 years (approximately 4 months) This example demonstrates how controlled thawing technology pays for itself remarkably fast through measurable reductions in product loss and improved process efficiency.

All materials used are hygienic, water-resistant, and easy to clean. The whole setup is delivered turnkey, directly to the club's premises. Installation is fast and requires no lengthy construction work. Want to learn more or request an initial plan for your club? Get in touch. #FoodProduction #FoodTech #LocalFood

A fish processing facility in the middle of the desert — what does it actually take to make that work? More than you might think. And all of it can come from a single supplier. A modular facility can be built to exactly the scale your operations require. Here are some examples of functions we've delivered for our customers: ✅ Primary processing: reception, sorting, gutting, and filleting — with cold storage for fresh fish. ✅ Further processing: marinating, smoking or air-drying equipment, depending on the end product. ✅Freezing: integrated freezing lines for efficient preservation and cold chain continuity. ✅ Staff facilities: changing rooms, restrooms, and other social spaces as part of the complete delivery. The entire chain can be delivered turnkey from a single supplier. One point of contact, the same management throughout the project, and fast commissioning. 🤝 #FishProcessing #FoodIndustry #FoodTech #ModularFacility
