Enhance your production efficiency and hygiene standards with a compact, self-stacking freezer that optimizes energy use and integrates seamlessly into continuous high-speed food processing operations.

Freezes and Chills Solid Food Products

The Frigoscandia GYRoCOMPACT® 40 Spiral Freezer from JBT is a self-stacking solution designed to streamline freezing operations in food processing. This equipment is distinguished by its unique FRIGoBELT® Nova conveyor system, which creates a closed freezing zone for enhanced energy efficiency and hygiene. Ideal for applications including bakery, confectionery, and ready meals, it can handle up to 1,000 kg/hour. Using the FRIGoDRIVE® system, the freezer eliminates the need for a center drum, minimizing jamming risks. With its hygiene-focused design, maintenance is simplified, featuring no stationary belt components to trap dirt. Options include various CIP systems and an LVS refrigeration system to optimize energy use. Available in different configurations to suit specific production needs, the GYRoCOMPACT® 40 is customizable to fit proofing processes as well.
