DSI Freezing Solutions
Presents Ground-breaking Test Center
DSI FREEZING SOLUTIONS AS
GLOBAL LEADER IN PLATE FREEZING TECHNOLOGY, DSI
FREEZING SOLUTIONS, OPENS A NEW TEST CENTER.
FOCUS IS ON COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OF FREEZING
DATA FOR R&D AS WELL AS COMMERCIAL PURPOSES.
When DSI Freezing Solutions
opens their new test center,
unfortunately it will not be to the
sound of popping champaign corks
and mingling international guests.
Covid-19 came in the way. Instead,
it will be an almost regular workday
for engineer Mikkel Bøggild, who is
to start the compressor and turn
on the test plate freezers. Even
so, Mikkel is excited that the day
has come; “With this test center,
we can optimize machines and
products even further. We combine
our freezing technology and our
CorePoint measurement equipment
with software to measure and
analyze our customers’ data”, says
Mikkel Bøggild.
The test center consists of a 30

and horizontal freezers of varying
sizes – as well as a significant
amount of measurement equipment,
that allow DSI Freezing Solutions to
see and present the measurements
in real time – at site and online.
This makes sense during a global
pandemic, but it is also relevant
for DSI Freezing Solutions’ many
international customers.

will be able to scrutinize their
products for optimizing purposes
with help from experts with great
knowledge of plate freezing in all
relevant industries, such as fish,
meat and poultry and fruit, vegetables
and liquids. For instance, it is
possible to look into how various
freezing temperatures, different
batches and types of packing may
affect the freezing process. But
instead of doing it on site and slowing
down production, the manufacturer
can continue the daily production
while testing at the test center
in North Denmark.
CSO at DSI Freezing Solutions,
Michael Wounlund, makes no secret
of the fact, that the purpose of
opening a test center is commercial.
“For our potential customers, the
test center brings an opportunity to
examine, if plate freezing is really
