Jensen Meat

Description

Jensen Meat Company is a top producer of ground beef patties for the retail food supply chain in the Western United States. When Jensen Meat needed to expand their business to keep up with demand, they chose C&L Refrigeration to design and build a new custom refrigeration system with one new quick freeze spiral freezer, and the capability of adding a second future spiral freezer. C&L designed and built an industrial two-stage ammonia refrigeration system that operates 135 tons at -60°F, with expansion to accommodate future second spiral freezer to quick freeze 12,750 pounds of burger patties per hour, and a 5,000 sq. ft USDA meat processing room.
