What is a Spiral Freezer?

The food processing and food production industries require specialist commercial freezing systems to operate on a continual, production line basis.

These are known in the trade as spiral freezers, and they will allow food producers to;

  • Freeze food products individually, or in set batches
  • Adjust airflow and belt
  • Conveyor speeds to allow increased freezing speeds depending on the production/cost requirements.
  • Reduce product weight loss during the freezing process
  • Ensure the product is frozen quickly
  • Ensure the product is frozen consistently
  • Ensure the quality of the product is not impaired during the freezing process.

Spiral freezers operate using a mechanical conveyor system to pass food through a continuous freezing process. Their construction will depend on the specific installation, but they can be a particularly good choice where floor space is restricted as they utilise vertical space better than many other floorspace-hungry conveyor systems.

Like most industrial processes, the machinery used in spiral freezing systems has been specifically designed to maximise efficiency in that particular production line.

There are numerous manufacturers of spiral freezers, each freezer will have it’s own unique characteristics, features and flaws.
