Impingement freezer for thin product freezing
Optimize your freezing process with advanced airflow, ensuring quick and uniform freezing for a range of thin products while minimizing energy waste.

Rapidly Freezes and Chills Solid Food Products
The Frigoscandia ADVANTEC™ M Impingement Freezer from JBT is engineered for high-speed processing of solid food products across multiple industries, including poultry, meat, and seafood. This modular freezer utilizes advanced impingement airflow technology, allowing for quick and uniform freezing or crust freezing essential for products like chicken nuggets, frozen pizzas, and chocolate truffles. With its modular design, it can be rapidly integrated into existing production lines, offering flexibility in layout and space management—available in lengths from 6,500 mm to 13,000 mm.
This freezer operates efficiently on a continuous basis, thanks to its stainless steel mesh belt that provides full product coverage without air return through the belt. The variable belt speeds and adjustable impingement zone height ensure optimal throughput and temperature control. You can rely on its robust stainless steel frame and aluminum fins for superior corrosion resistance in demanding environments.
Additionally, integrated features such as continuous belt washing and heated infeed/outfeed components minimize frost and condensation buildup, maximizing operational time and reducing maintenance needs. The ADVANTEC M’s modular construction supports quick installation and start-up, making it an ideal choice for processors seeking to enhance freezing operations efficiently.
