Incomparable Quality

Container World’s young reefer fleet utilises the latest available technology and machinery, including Carrier, Thermoking and Daikin. Our extensive refurbishment program ensures our customers have absolute peace of mind when purchasing a pre-owned reefer from Container World. Container World prides itself in offering Mechanical Warranties on our refurbished pre-owned and new reefer containers (T&C’s apply). We offer comprehensive after-sale back-up support and telephonic assistance, with our technicians available 24/7/365, to further our client’s confidence in our reefers.

Cost Effective Solution

Container World’s Reefers are ideal for keeping your perishables at your desired temperature (chilled or frozen), ranging from +30°C to -30°C, as well as bespoke, customised units with specific equipment options fitted. The versatility offered by the reefers being mobile, means that they are considerably more cost effective versus traditional cold-storage rooms or facilities. Substantial power-savings are realised from the utilisation of scroll compressors on many of our current reefers.

Containerised Blast Freezers

Freeze 2 to 8 tonnes of product in 20 hours. Available to lease or buy.

A Container World blast freezer is a complete freezing plant built inside an insulated refrigerated container. Fitted with new refrigeration machinery, a full 380V electrical system with Sollatek protection and a dedicated plant room, it arrives ready to connect to a three-phase supply. There is no building to design, no construction delays and no fixed facility to pay for. 

Every size in our range is available to lease or buy, so you can match the unit and the commercial terms to how your business runs.

Choose your size

Model Capacity in 20 hours Power supply Condensing unit Best suited to
6m Blast Freezer 2,000 to 3,000 kg 80A, 380V 20 kW @ -30°C Butcheries, bakeries, caterers, game farms and smaller processors
12m Blast Freezer 4,000 to 6,000 kg 100A, 380V 30 kW @ -30°C Growing producers with steady daily volumes
12m Blast Freezer 6,000 to 8,000 kg 160A, 380V 50 kW @ -30°C Large processors, exporters and pallet-scale loads

Lease or Buy

Lease when you need capacity without a large upfront capital outlay. Blast freezer rental suits seasonal peaks, harvest and fishing seasons, short-term supply contracts, and temporary cover while a fixed plant is built, upgraded or repaired. It is also a practical way to prove the volumes before you commit to buying. 

Buy when you need permanent, year-round freezing capacity. The unit becomes a long-term asset in your operation, and because it is containerised, it can move with you if your business relocates or expands. 

Speak to our team about lease periods and terms for your operation. 

Built into every unit

  • New refrigeration machinery with a low-temperature blower coil for fast, even freezing 
  • Full 380V electrical system with Sollatek protection, supplied plug and play 
  • Door safety switch: the system pumps down and switches off when the door opens, and the interior lights come on 
  • IP65 lighting rated for cold, wet freezer conditions 
  • Aluminium T-bar flooring that lets cold air circulate beneath the load 
  • A ventilated plant room housing the refrigeration equipment 

Who uses our blast freezers?

Meat and poultry processors, abattoirs, seafood and fishing operations, fruit and vegetable packers, bakeries, food manufacturers, caterers, game farms, and cold chain and export operators.
