Frigoscandia GC76 Spiral Freezer

• Freezing prepared meals, such as ready meals, pizzas, and bakery products.
• Processing poultry, meat, and fish products for extended shelf life.
• Rapid freezing of fruits, vegetables, and other IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) items.
• Chilling and freezing dairy products like ice cream and desserts.
• Handling high-volume production lines requiring continuous freezing.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 1,000 kg/hr to over 3,000 kg/hr, depending on product type and belt configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V/50Hz.

Refrigeration medium

Spiral freezers commonly utilise ammonia (NH3) or CO2 as the primary refrigerant, requiring connection to an external refrigeration plant.

Operating temperature

Internal operating temperatures are typically maintained between -30°C and -40°C for effective rapid freezing.

Belt width

Common belt widths for units of this size can range from 600mm to 1,200mm, influencing product throughput and size.

Construction material

The product contact areas and frame are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

• What does 'price includes removal and loaded transport' mean?

  This indicates the seller will manage and cover the costs of dismantling the freezer from its current location and loading it onto transport for the buyer. The buyer would typically be responsible for transport costs to their site.

• What does 'price does not include the cabinet/box' imply?

• Is a Frigoscandia GC76 suitable for IQF products?

• What kind of maintenance is typically required for a spiral freezer?

• What footprint does a spiral freezer of this type typically require?

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.
