Structure supported spiral freezer for food products

Optimize your high-speed production with a versatile spiral freezer designed for efficient and reliable processing of diverse food products, ensuring precise temperature control and enhanced throughput.

Freezes, Chills, and Proofs High-Volume Food Products

The Northfield SuperTRAK® Structure Supported Spiral Freezer is a robust and flexible solution designed for food processing companies across industries such as dairy, poultry, and plant-based protein. This equipment is engineered to handle high-volume and high-speed freezing, chilling, cooling, or proofing of a wide array of solid food products, including ice cream, shrimp, and ready meals.

Utilizing a structure-supported spiral design, it optimizes production space and accommodates tall products requiring more vertical clearance and heavier belt loads. Available in a variety of configurations, the SuperTRAK allows for customizable airflow and belt types, ensuring optimal food handling and hygiene.

Capable of processing up to 130+ feet per minute, this spiral freezer offers an extensive range of operational speeds and belt widths, supporting diverse production scale requirements. It integrates seamlessly into continuous production lines, featuring PLC control and optional remote monitoring for enhanced automation and process optimization.

The system’s efficiency is bolstered by a patented LVS® Low Volume refrigerant feed system, reducing energy consumption. Constructed with options in stainless steel or plastic belting for material compatibility, it ensures long-term durability and corrosion resistance. Additionally, the fully seam-welded stainless steel enclosure and CIP system simplify cleaning and maintenance, supporting high hygiene standards.

Designed for custom solutions, the Northfield SuperTRAK provides infinite design combinations, tier pitches, and airflow options to meet unique production needs, ensuring a precise fit in any facility.
