Chilled & Frozen Ready Meals

A complete tray-to-plate workflow designed for cook-chill and cook-freeze operations in healthcare, private jet, and hospitality catering.

The 5-step workflow

From kitchen to plate in a single tray no repacking, no transferring, no compromise on presentation.

1

Cook & portion

Prepare the meal and portion it directly into the TorusPak tray. The tray is designed for standard portion sizes with a typical fill volume of ~650 ml.

2

Seal

Close the tray using a click lid for manual operations, or use a tray sealing machine with PA/PP peel film for MAP and high-volume lines.

3

Chill or freeze

Chill or blast-freeze the sealed tray per HACCP protocols. The tray is rated to −40°C, supporting both chilled and frozen storage and distribution.

4

Regenerate

Reheat the sealed tray using a microwave, thermo oven, or steamer. The tray is rated to +121°C and maintains structural integrity throughout regeneration.

5

Plate

Use the patented bottom-release mechanism to transfer the meal directly from tray to plate. Clean, consistent presentation every time at the point of service.
