EUROTEK SPIRAL FREEZER

• Rapidly freezing bakery products such as bread, pastries, and cakes.
• Individually quick freezing (IQF) of various seafood products like shrimp and fish fillets.
• Freezing prepared meals and ready-to-eat food items for extended shelf life.
• Processing poultry and meat products, including chicken pieces and burgers, for preservation.
• Handling frozen vegetable and fruit products, maintaining their texture and nutritional value.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment varies significantly based on product type and size, commonly ranging from 500 kg/h to several tonnes per hour.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase industrial electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption depending on compressor size and operational load.

Refrigeration system

This equipment typically integrates with an external refrigeration plant, utilising refrigerants such as ammonia or CO2, or HFCs, depending on the system design.

Footprint

Spiral freezers, including this model, require a substantial industrial footprint, often several metres in length, width, and height, to accommodate the helical belt structure.

Belt material

Belts are commonly constructed from food-grade stainless steel or engineered plastics like acetal, designed for hygiene and durability in cryogenic conditions.

Operating temperature

Operating temperatures within the freezer chamber typically range from -30°C to -45°C, depending on the product and desired freezing speed.

• What maintenance is typically required for a spiral freezer?

  Routine maintenance commonly involves belt inspection and tensioning, cleaning of the evaporator coils, lubrication of moving parts, and checks of the refrigeration system's integrity and efficiency.

• Can this type of freezer handle different product sizes?

• What are the common utility requirements?

• Is installation complex for a spiral freezer?

• How efficient are spiral freezers compared to other freezing methods?

Spiral freezers are valued in food processing for their compact footprint and efficient product handling. Buyers typically appreciate their gentle freezing action, which preserves product quality and texture. When purchasing used equipment, inspection of the spiral belt condition and refrigeration system performance is essential. The stainless steel construction generally resists corrosion well in demanding environments. Common considerations include maintenance costs and spare parts availability, though reliability across production runs remains a noted strength.
