Large food products, like whole chickens, may be packed in bulk or in large containers such as carton boxes or trays. These products can be chilled or frozen while kept inside the packages before storing or shipping out. But handling these  containers manually can be a difficult and costly task. By using a system capable of conveying large boxes for freezing, costs for manual labor are reduced while productivity increases.
<h2>Freezing bulk food products in boxes or trays</h2>
The Carton Box Freezer from Orange Freezing is a large-scale freezer for food products packed in large containers such as carton boxes, trays, and crates. The system is designed to convey the packed products into the Carton Box Freezer, where it is frozen using an horizontal airflow design called Opti Flow. Temperature and air speed inside the unit are maintained constantly to minimize retention time of the products and help save energy costs. After the freezing process, the products go out of the freezer through a conveyor ready for storage or shipment.

The system has a faster freezing time of about 6 hours compared to other similar systems, in which it varies between about 8 to 9 hours. Labor costs are also reduced as the system can be configured to convey these large containers into and out of the system. With its computer-controlled, fully automatic operation and a capacity of about 10 to 14 tons, productivity is marginally increased.

Frozen food manufacturers with products such as chicken parts, fish, and convenience foods require freezing processes with good hygienic standards. Products must also be frozen in the shortest time possible with minimum weight loss for a better yield.

<h2>Freezing food products in a hygienic space</h2>
The Spiral Freezer from Orange Freezing is an industrial-scale freezer with good hygienic standards. The system is composed of a hygienic box with stainless steel walls and ceiling, a spiral belt for loading products to be frozen, and an evaporator to remove humidity from the products. Additionally, the bearings and drives for the system are positioned outside the box for increased hygiene level and easy maintenance. It is equipped with insulated floors and the box is mounted with adjustable feet for quick installation.

The system features Orange Freezing’s Opti Flow horizontal airflow design that keeps the temperature and air speed the same all throughout, which helps minimize loss of moisture. Retention time for freezing is also minimized as a result.

Spiral freezer

Freezing is one of the most important industrial methods for the long-term preservation of food commodities. Many food products are sensitive to a freezing rate in that it can affect yield, quality, nutritional value, and sensory properties. Using a spiral freezing equipment with an efficient horizontal air flow and a sequential defrost can maintain product quality and reduce defrost downtime.


<h2>Freezing food products using horizontal airflow in a spiral system</h2>
The Spiral Freezer by ICS Spiral Freezers is a design based on two main spiral principles: the traditional (with or without DDS) and the self-stacker system. A self-stacker spiral freezer doesn’t require belt support, while the traditional spiral system needs support rings to hold the belt. Due to a compact design, the self-stacker spiral freezer has more capacity within the same height dimensions compared to the traditional spiral freezer. It is suitable for freezing typical food products including pizza slices, hamburgers, chicken nuggets, croissants just to name a few.

Intensive horizontal air circulation employed in this spiral system ensures the efficiency of the freezing so that products are being frozen equally and fast. With this technology, air is evenly distributed across all tires, preventing the products from losing moisture, which keeps their weight loss at a minimum level. This freezing system can be equipped with a sequential defrost that guarantees a 24/7 production and consistently high-quality product with no defrost downtime.

Additionally, the machine is easy to clean because it comes with a designed spray nozzle system, known as CIP (cleaning in place) system that allows cleaning without removing any equipment. The series of steps (rinsing, washing, disinfection and drying) can vary based on customer needs.

Food freezers are often the last step in the food production chain. The design, materials, construction, and maintenance of freezers must follow the discipline of a hygienic design. Welded bonding, food product compatibility with the freezer material, and a welded stainless steel spiral system for effective cleaning are just a few examples to consider when contemplating a hygienically designed food freezer.


<h2>A fully-welded spiral freezes food products with horizontal air circulation</h2>
The Fully-Welded Spiral Freezer by ICS Spiral Freezers is a unique concept of fully stainless steel welded spiral modules (both inside and outside) that meet high hygiene standards. The Fully Welded system is hygiene-centric because the different parts of the system are not sealed with silicone but welded together. Silicone is more likely to wear and tear, over the years it can come off and can lead to the entrance of external substances. The machine modules consist of a stainless steel seamless welded insulating housing, equipped with a fully welded spiral framework, evaporator, and spiral conveying system. It is suitable for freezing typical food products including pizza slices, hamburgers, chicken nuggets, croissants just to name a few.

Cooling baked goods and food products can be problematic for sliced baked goods. A crusty texture can become leathery and tough. Crispness deteriorates if the goods are not cooled down properly. Having a sound cooling equipment will keep the quality and shelf-life of baked goods up to par.


<h2>A spiral conveyor cools down your baked products before packaging</h2>
The Spiral ‘Ambient’ Cooler by ICS Spiral Freezers, is a good solution to cool down produced and baked products (pancakes, loaves, doughnuts) to ambient temperature before freezing or packaging. The warm products will leave the oven chamber and travel on the continuous spiral conveyor which is driven by the Direct Drive System. With the DDS (Direct Drive System), manufacturers won’t have to worry about products moving on the belt and sticking or bumping on each other which could result in damage of the desired shape, even in the product waste. Thanks to this technology, products stay in their original position throughout the entire cooling process. Also, the system is equipped with height detection technology which checks product height, preventing a jam in the production process.

The Spiral Ambient Cooler can be designed as an up-going or down-going spiral. Additionally, the spiral systems are custom-made and can be designed for small places. For example, for manufacturers with low ceiling, the double (twin) spiral system can be applied. In such case, the up-going spiral and the down-going spiral are joined together by one belt.

The Spiral Ambient Cooler design follows the hygiene standard required by the food industry. Additionally, a belt cleaning system can be applied, making the technology even more hygienic.

Proofing is a phase in the baking production line that can’t be rushed. It’s an essential process for well-risen, well-shaped baked goods with a good flavor. A quality proofer should provide the right conditions for rising dough; slow airflow, controlled temperature and time as well as right humidity level will make all the products rise evenly.


<h2>A Spiral conveying system industrially proofs pastry before freezing</h2>
The Spiral Proofer by ICS Spiral Freezers provides the right climate conditions for every proofing stage. The system is provided with an air treatment unit located on the top of the spiral, that can control temperature, moisture and air speed parameters throughout the whole proofing process ensuring evenly sized products. For large capacity proofers, its robust and site-built concept ensures a fast assembly and sound operation. The Spiral Proofer can process capacities up to 6000 kg/hour or more.

To prevent the slip and stick effect (when pastry doughs bump on each other, which leads to product waste), the Spiral Proofer is fitted with a Direct Drive System that allows the belt to go on without interruptions. With the DDS (Direct Drive System) manufacturers don’t have to worry that products will move on the belt and stick to each other– the belt engages the drum with special teeth which makes it unmovable. Thanks to this technology, products stay in the original position throughout the entire proofing process.

The Spiral Proofer ensures a hygienic design and accommodates easy cleaning and low maintenance. Easy cleaning comes with a spray nozzle system, known as a CIP (Cleaning In Place) system that allows a cleaning without removing any equipment. The series of steps (rinsing, washing, disinfection and drying) can vary depending on customer needs.
