Flat product freezer for hamburger patties
Optimize your freezing process with a high-speed freezer that cuts costs in half by using high-velocity air jets to rapidly chill and preserve hamburgers and other flat products.
Freezes and Chills Flat Food Products
The Frigoscandia Flat Product Freezer from JBT is specifically designed to enhance freezing efficiency in high-speed, continuous processing lines, especially for poultry, meat, and seafood sectors. Utilizing impingement freezing technology, it rapidly chills flat food products such as chicken nuggets, beef patties, and fish fillets through thousands of high-velocity air jets. This innovative method effectively removes the boundary layer of air, enabling faster freezing at significantly reduced costs compared to traditional cryogenic systems. Capable of processing large volumes, its modular design ranges from 2 to 8 pre-manufactured modules, accommodating various production demands with ease.
This equipment boasts dual parallel stainless steel mesh belts boasting a usable width of 27.5 inches each, ensuring that products remain flat and aligned throughout the freeze. Constructed with stainless steel and an aluminum fin heat exchanger, it prioritizes hygiene with a design that minimizes bacteria build-up via stainless steel enclosures and smooth, sloped surfaces. The freezer incorporates a patented low volume refrigerant feed system, optimized for energy efficiency and superior product yield, delivering juicier, more tender results than alternatives. Enhancements such as an integrated wash-down system and options for extremely low temperature operations further streamline maintenance and cleaning while ensuring robust performance and reliability.
