Used Spiral Freezers

The spiral freezer is a continuous in-line-belt freezer designed to minimize product weight loss and assure quality gently handing during the freezing process. Products are evenly fed from the production line directly onto the loading freezer belt. It quickly transports the product into the low temperature-freezing zone.

The belt spirals up or down along the rotating drum until it reaches the top or bottom where the frozen product is gently discharged from the freezer discharge port.

Due to the large belt surface available, products can be frozen in single layers or individually for IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) quality. Because products can maintain their original load-in position throughout the freezing process, sorting after simultaneous freezing of mixed, different products is simplified.

JBT – Frigoscandia Flo-FREEZE IQF Freezer

JBT  Frigoscandia pioneered “Individual Quick Freezing” technology (IQF), installing the world’s first IQF freezer on a process line in Sweden back in 1962.  Since then, millions of tons of fresh food products have been successfully and profitably frozen on our Frigoscandia FLoFREEZE fluidized bed linear freezers.  Our Frigoscandia FLoFREEZE provides true fluidization, using a patented air flow system that separates and freezes the most delicate products, while simultaneously fulfilling the industry’s toughest requirements for hygiene, economy and user-friendly operation.

  • IQF Track – offers stable, dual zone fluidization, with two independent tracks and two separate pressure chambers
  • IQF Tray – delivers multi-zone freezing capability using a stainless steel IQF tray which is perfect for products that require extra hygiene precautions and high volume products like peas and corn kernels
  • Pulsation system – modulates air pressure and frequency over the product bed that gently separates delicate products at the crust freezing stage
  • Agitation – back and forth agitation insures proper IQF at the crust freezing stage and increases throughput
  • Air-bypass – fine tune airflow through the product bed to ensure gentle optimized fluidization regardless of product shape, size, and weight.
  • Designed specifically for high quality IQF freezing of raw fruits and vegetables
  • Capacities from 1 metric ton (2,200 lbs.) to 17,500 metric tons (38,500 lbs.) per hour based on frozen peas

Options:

ADF Air Defrost System
SD Sequential Defrost System
LVS FRIGoPAK

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.
