Iqf tunnel freezers for berries
Freezing sensitive products like berries quickly and individually presents a significant challenge. Traditional freezing methods can lead to clumping, dehydration, and loss of product quality, making it difficult for food processors to maintain consistency and efficiency.
Achieve high-quality freezing with advanced fluidization
The GEA AY-series IQF tunnels are specifically designed to address the challenges of freezing sensitive products such as berries. Utilizing the Long Wave Fluidization™ system, these tunnels ensure even air distribution, high air pressure, and gentle mechanical agitation of the product, avoiding the need for belt shaking. The technology results in superior Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) treatment by minimizing product dehydration and clumping. The system operates at an evaporating temperature of -37°C/-35°F, optimizing energy consumption. Eliminating the need for liquid nitrogen pre-crusting, the GEA AY-series offers a cost-effective and efficient freezing solution. Built with robust stainless steel construction and featuring easy cleaning and maintenance, GEA ensures hygiene and reliability.
