Iqf freezer for fruits and vegetables
Achieve perfect individual quick freezing with fluidization technology, ensuring delicate products like strawberries and plant-based protein chunks maintain their quality and appearance, while maximizing hygiene and efficiency in your food processing line.
Freezes and Fluidizes Delicate Food Products
The Frigoscandia FLoFREEZE IQF Freezer by JBT Corporation delivers efficient and high-quality freezing solutions for the food industry. Specializing in fluidized bed freezing, it features a patented airflow system that enables true fluidization, offering stable, dual-zone operation. This innovation ensures even freezing of delicate food items, from peas and corn kernels to strawberries and plant-based protein chunks, maintaining their shape and texture.
Designed specifically for continuous, high-speed operations, the freezer can handle capacities from 1 to 17,500 metric tons per hour, based on frozen peas. Its pulsation system modulates air pressure and frequency to gently separate product layers during crust freezing, enhancing throughput while maintaining product integrity. The Agitation system further ensures proper Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) at the initial stages.
For integration into production lines, the freezer is PLC-controlled, offering real-time monitoring to adapt to various operation conditions. Options such as the ADF Air Defrost System and LVS FRIGoPAK® for low volume refrigeration enhance operational efficiency and minimize energy consumption. Constructed with stainless steel trays for hygiene-critical environments, it meets the stringent standards of food safety and quality, providing reliable performance for fruits, vegetables, and plant-based protein processors.
