Samifi Flow Freezer

• Freezing small, discrete food items such as peas, berries, and diced vegetables.
• Processing seafood like shrimp and mussels for individual quick freezing.
• Handling sliced or diced poultry and meat products.
• Freezing pasta, rice, and other grain-based products.
• Suitable for various bakery items like pastries and dough pieces.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 1 to 10 tons per hour, depending on product type and desired freezing temperature. This particular unit was rated at 4 tons on peas.

Refrigeration system

IQF flow freezers commonly utilise ammonia or CO2 refrigeration systems for efficient and rapid freezing. This unit uses ammonia.

Power supply

Typically requires a three-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage based on compressor size and auxiliary equipment.

Footprint

The footprint for flow freezers varies significantly with capacity and design, typically requiring substantial floor space and adequate height for product flow and maintenance access.

Product temperature range

Designed to reduce product core temperatures to typically -18°C to -25°C rapidly.

Construction materials

Commonly constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability, particularly in product contact areas.

• What is an IQF flow freezer?

  An IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) flow freezer is designed to rapidly freeze small, individual food items, preventing them from clumping together. This preserves product quality, texture, and appearance.

• Why is the cabinet not included with this unit?

• What kind of maintenance does an IQF freezer require?

• Can this unit be adapted for different products?

• What are the considerations for installing an ammonia refrigeration system?

IQF systems are highly regarded in food processing for their ability to freeze individual products uniformly whilst maintaining quality and texture. Buyers typically value machines with reliable refrigeration components and consistent belt speed control. When purchasing used equipment, inspecting freezing chamber condition, verifying temperature consistency, and checking refrigerant integrity are essential. Industry users appreciate their efficiency in handling delicate items and relatively low maintenance demands compared to alternative freezing methods.
