Impingement freezer for poultry and meat

Achieve rapid freezing and high product quality with high-velocity air impingement, reducing dehydration and operational costs in food processing lines.

Rapidly Freezes and Chills Food Products

The Frigoscandia ADVANTEC™ Impingement Freezer is a robust solution designed for rapid food freezing. Utilizing thousands of high-velocity air jets, it efficiently blasts away the boundary layer of air from products such as chicken nuggets, beef patties, and plant-based burgers, achieving fast freezing times and high product quality. With its modular design and pre-manufactured components, the freezer supports quick installation and integration into existing lines, whether in poultry, meat, or seafood processing. Models like the ADVANTEC 1250 and 1850 offer flexibility with single or dual stainless-steel belt configurations, reaching belt speeds of over 80 fpm to accommodate varying production demands. The stainless-steel construction ensures durability and corrosion resistance, while the optional frost management system extends run times and reduces maintenance interruptions. Additionally, its integrated wash-down system simplifies cleaning, facilitating adherence to food safety regulations, making the ADVANTEC Impingement Freezer an ideal choice for high-speed, continuous operations in diverse food processing sectors.
