Tell us about your business

You are here at the Combelaville Central Kitchen, a public facility where we prepare nearly 2,100 meals every day.
Our meals are designed for a very wide audience: from babies as young as four months old, to schoolchildren, and elderly people up to 101 years of age.

Our mission is to deliver safe, high-quality meals while respecting strict public catering standards and ensuring continuity of service for the entire community.

 

Which IRINOX equipment do you use in your facility?

For over a year, we have invested in IRINOX blast chilling technology to support our production needs.
In our central kitchen, we operate a MultiFresh® Next XXL blast chiller, chosen for its multifunctional capabilities.

The machine allows us to manage:

  • blast chilling
  • blast freezing
  • overnight cooking
  • hot holding
  • chilled holding

This versatility is essential in a high-volume municipal catering environment.

 

How have IRINOX solutions improved your daily work?

Previously, our operation was mainly focused on hot meal delivery.
However, since launching a home meal delivery service on 1 May 2024, we needed a reliable blast chilling system to support this new production model.

Thanks to IRINOX:

  • we have significantly reduced production time
  • improved workflow organisation
  • ensured full traceability
  • increased speed and efficiency in meal distribution

The multifunctionality of the MultiFresh® Next XXL also opens new possibilities for the future, such as producing our own homemade yoghurts using the fermentation cycle.
