Thor Ice Chilling Solutions offers a patented chilling technology for improving and boosting the bird core temperature, to secure food safety, a longer shelf life and increased profitability. By upgrading the chill room into an intelligent chill room, we apply the right energy to each individual bird.
Regulations (EU 2017/1495) require poultry products to be cooled to the optimal temperature range of 0-4°C during processing, to ensure the safety of the end product.Thor Ice is transforming bird chilling methods with its unique patented IceGun technology, and can be implemented in every bird chilling room without the need of modifications and extension.
When implementing the Thor Ice Chilling Solution within your bird chilling process, you can benefit from:- An expected overall yield improvement due to a better cut-up & filleting efficiency and minimised drip-loss- 1-2 days of additional shelf life due to minimised bacteria count.
– ROI of less than 6 months compared to investing in a modification/expansion of the chill room
– Up to 30% capacity increase

At Top Equipment B.V., we think in terms of solutions for poultry welfare and how it can be improved.
In 2011, the first H2H Euthanizer was introduced, and to this day, we remain very proud of the product.
We are also currently working on a new development, which we will tell you more about later.
