Fluidized bed freezer for fruits and vegetables
Efficiently freeze fruits and vegetables without clumping, thanks to advanced fluidization technology that ensures individual quick freezing, maintaining product quality and texture for diverse food-processing needs.
Freezes and Fluidizes Fruits and Vegetables Continuously
The Mecflow MF from CFT Group is an industrial fluidized bed freezer designed for the efficient processing of fruits and vegetables. It dynamically uses a robust vertical air flow to freeze and fluidize products, preventing agglomeration and ensuring consistent quality. Suitable for applications involving frozen strawberries, peas, carrots, blueberries, and more, it operates continuously, supporting seamless integration into existing processing lines. Offering capacities from 500 Kg/hr to 10,000 Kg/hr, the Mecflow MF is tailored for high-throughput environments. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it minimizes contamination risks with a lubrication-free conveyor system and enhances energy efficiency through axial fans and wide evaporator fin spacing. The system’s evaporators are designed for extended duty cycles, reducing maintenance time and costs. With 8 configurable models, it provides flexibility to meet varied production demands in fruit and vegetable processing sectors.
