THE REAL STEEL is a leading enterprise devoted to providing customers with the
highest quality products and services. We strive to achieve success in our
investment, always adhering to the strictest ethical and world-class standards.

VISION

"We believe that we are on the face of the earth to make great
products and that's not changing. We are constantly focusing on innovating.
We believe in the simple not the complex. We believe that we need to own
and control the primary technologies behind the products that we make, and
participate only in markets where we can make a significant contribution. We
believe in saying no to thousands of projects, so that we can really focus on
the few that are truly important and meaningful to us. We believe in deep
collaboration and cross-pollination of our groups, which allow us to innovate
in a way that others cannot. And frankly, we don't settle for anything less
than excellence in every group in the company, and we have the self-honesty
to admit when we're wrong and the courage to change. And I think
regardless of who is in what job those values are so embedded in this
company that REAL STEEL will do extremely well."

INTRODUCTION
The continuing growth of quick freezing in the fishing or meat industry
has made necessary development of the industrial methods of reversing the
freezing process- that is thawing the fish or meat for further processing, for
cooking, and for sale as wet fish.
We, as ordinary people, want an easier and comfortable life and we are
not sufficiently provided with the money nor the space for such large
industrial thawing machines. With that said, we, as innovative students,
came up with an idea to bring these large thawing machines in small food
establishments.
The number of food establishments and hotels here in Mindanao are
increasing. These people buy goods in bulk to save time and money and
store them in these refrigerators and freezers. However, they usually have a
hard time defrosting some goods, especially meat being the most common
product to be stored in freezers. Most of the time, they have to wait for hours
in order for the meat be defrosted enough for it to be cooked. Thats where
our product comes in. Our product ensures the consumer to wait for minutes

only in the defrosting process, thus, hastening the preparation of food for the
family or in food establishments.
Description of a Business
Thawing Machine will be the preferred name that will describe the proponents
business. In this business we will assemble products from different components.
This business will be in the form of partnership. It will compose of 11 members. We
decided to offer to every hotels or food establishments who are seeking to fast, efficient and
comfortable way of defrosting meats.
We will establish this business to help individuals here in Mindanao to meet and to satisfy
the great demands of the people, especially those individuals who are always in a hurry and
delights in fast processes. The operation will take place in Iligan City.

Background Information
With the use of frozen supplies, particularly frozen imports, controlled
thawing of seafood is an important process undertaken by many seafood
processors in the UK. Other sectors, notably fish fryers, also thaw seafood
but on a smaller scale. The benefits to using frozen seafood include that the
eating quality can be excellent, it enables variability in the supply chain to be
resolved, and frozen seafood has a longer shelf-life than fresh/chilled
products. Some of these benefits can be lost if the freezing, cold storage or
thawing processes are poorly managed. In order to produce the best quality
thawed product, it is important for businesses and seafood operatives to
understand the thawing process and ensure their systems are as effective as
possible. This section provides a summary of relevant information on thawing

Why freeze seafood?

The process of commercial freezing as a means of preserving seafood has
been established since the early 1900s. The main reasons for freezing
seafood are:

As a means of long term preservation and storage, it greatly extends

the shelf-life of seafood products.

With a longer shelf-life seafood products can be distributed throughout

the world.
It enables a seafood processor to retain a supply of seafood that can
be used throughout the year, reducing the seasonal fluctuations that

exist in the fresh-chilled (never frozen) sector.

In some cases, it is used as an aid to processing, particularly in shelling

prawns or Nephrops norvegicus tails.

It enables consumers to have greater choice of seafood throughout the
year.

Seafood processors, retailers and caterers use frozen fish in a range of

different forms. The majority of these frozen products require thawing
before further processing, before being fried in a fish and chip shop or
prior to final sale to the retailer. As such thawing is an integral part of the
seafood trade.

What is thawing?
Thawing is the process of changing a product from frozen to unfrozen.
It involves transferring heat to a frozen product to melt the ice that was
formed within the flesh during the freezing process. The point at which ice
crystals are converted back to water occurs completely when the

temperature throughout the seafood reaches -1C. The time required to melt
all the ice in the frozen seafood is the thawing time.
