Flat product freezer for hamburger patties
In hamburger patty production, reducing freezing costs while maintaining product quality is crucial. High energy consumption and inconsistent product freezing can significantly impact profitability and efficiency, necessitating an advanced solution.
Blast freeze with high-velocity air jets
The Frigoscandia Flat Product Freezer by JBT is designed for efficient impingement freezing of hamburger patties. This linear freezer uses thousands of high-velocity air jets to rapidly freeze products by breaking the boundary layer of air around them. The modular design, available in configurations from 2 to 8 pre-manufactured modules, enables scalability for various production needs. Measuring 13.55 feet per module, the freezer ensures complete and uniform freezing of products on dual parallel stainless steel mesh belts. The heat exchanger, constructed of stainless steel tubes and aluminum fins, ensures efficient thermal transfer. The patented low volume refrigerant feed (LVS) system further enhances freezing efficiency, reducing dehydration and ensuring a juicier, tender product. The stainless steel enclosure panels, welded internally, and the inclusion of a wash-down system promote hygiene and reduce bacteria build-up.
