Cryogenic rotary drum freezer for Iqf foodstuffs

Optimize your freezing process with a rotary drum freezer that ensures rapid individual quick freezing (IQF) while preventing clumping, ideal for preserving the quality and texture of delicate foodstuffs like fish, pasta, and vegetables.

Freezes and Mixes IQF Foodstuffs Efficiently

The CryoRoll for IQF Foodstuffs from Dohmeyer is a cryogenic rotary drum freezer designed specifically for high-quality individual quick freezing of various foodstuffs. Utilizing a rotating cylindrical drum, it facilitates continuous mixing and cooling, preventing clumping and ensuring uniform freezing. This innovative equipment supports the food industry by processing items such as fish, meat, vegetables, and pasta into high-standard IQF products like breadcrumbs, chicken nuggets, and vegetable pellets. The unit allows for the use of both liquid nitrogen and liquid carbon dioxide as cooling agents, providing flexibility depending on your specific production needs.

Dohmeyer’s CryoRoll features a unique double drum design for optimal freezing results, with a short, fast-turning drum followed by a longer, slower one to ensure surface and in-depth freezing. This configuration enhances the freezing quality for products requiring different freeze durations. The freezer can integrate easily into existing production lines thanks to automation options, such as PLC controls for seamless operation and monitoring. It is engineered for efficiency, with options for various inclination angles and rotating speeds to suit bespoke processing requirements.

Additional features include exhaust fans for residual gas extraction and optional non-adhesive coatings for the inner drum when handling sticky or wet products. Its compact design offers space savings compared to traditional systems, while custom options allow adaptation to your specific production environment. Ideal for food manufacturers and processing companies aiming to enhance their frozen food offerings, the CryoRoll stands out for its flexibility and effectiveness in large-scale operations.
