Key Benefits
● Delivers rapid-freezing-level performance in a standard freezer
● Enables freezing that helps preserve cell structure
● Also supports energy savings and CO2 reduction*
*Compared with a -60°C rapid freezer
It enables high-freshness freezing in existing freezers (-18°C to -25°C), without requiring a -50°C to -60°C rapid freezer.
DENBA+ uses proprietary technology to create an electric field inside the refrigerator. The effect of fine electronic vibration creates a chilled environment in which water molecules do not solidify, or freeze, even in the sub-zero range of 0°C to -4°C. It helps prevent oxidation of ingredients and provides a bacteriostatic effect. Through this technology, DENBA+ creates an environment that supports both freshness and aging.
It does not freeze until around -4°C, and once freezing begins, it freezes faster than normal freezing. By applying DENBA technology to ingredients while freezing, it is possible to freeze them while maintaining freshness and helping preserve cell structure.

By introducing DENBA+ to marine and land transport, including refrigerated and frozen trucks, ingredients can be shipped worldwide while maintaining freshness.
Abalone frozen with DENBA retained its texture and firm bite after thawing, almost like fresh abalone. The liver also held its shape better with DENBA freezing, while off-odors were reduced.
Since starting to sell DENBA-frozen products, more customers have come to prefer frozen items. Live-processed abalone is frozen with DENBA and sold at the same price as fresh products.
During a store renovation, the company used a business restructuring subsidy to purchase two DENBA+ 3.0 units for a prefabricated refrigerated/freezer room.
Local Tokorozawa beef is frozen and sold at the attached store.
Although they had considered installing a rapid freezer, they chose DENBA because of its attractive installation cost.
After installation, the meat quality was better than with their previous -25°C freezing method.
