Industrial spiral freezer for high-volume processing
Optimize your high-volume food production with a robust spiral freezer, designed to handle heavy loads and deliver precise freezing, chilling, and proofing for a variety of products.
Efficiently Freezes and Chills High-Volume Food Products
The Northfield LST® Structure Supported Spiral Freezer by JBT is engineered for robust and efficient freezing solutions across diverse food production needs. Capable of processing over 36,000 lbs. per hour, it is ideal for high-volume freezing of bakery, confectionery, and ready meal products. The structure supports heavy belt loads, handling up to 40 lbs. per linear foot with ease, and offers customizable configurations with options for belt materials, tier pitches, and airflow. Stainless steel construction ensures durability and long service life, while the system integrates seamlessly into continuous production lines, leveraging a patented LVS® Low Volume refrigerant feed system for reduced energy consumption. Standard features like a fully welded enclosure and clean-in-place system simplify maintenance and enhance hygiene, fulfilling stringent industrial requirements.
