Eurotek 20 Tier Spiral Freezer

• Rapid freezing of bakery products such as bread, pastries, and cakes.
• Processing of various meat products including burgers, chicken pieces, and sausages.
• Freezing of seafood like prawns, fish fillets, and prepared meals.
• Suitable for a range of fruit and vegetable products, maintaining quality and texture.
• Used in large-scale food production lines requiring continuous freezing.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, freezing capacities commonly range from 500 kg/hr to over 2,000 kg/hr, depending on product type and entry temperature.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V/50Hz, for motors and control systems.

Refrigeration system

This unit includes a Bitzer compressor pack using Freon refrigerant; other systems commonly utilise ammonia or CO2.

Footprint

A 20-tier spiral freezer typically requires a significant floor area, often ranging from 15m² to 30m², plus space for refrigeration plant and access.

Product gap

A 60mm product gap is suitable for a wide range of products, from smaller items to moderately sized individual portions.

Belt width

An effective belt width of 457mm is common for medium-volume processing lines, allowing for efficient product loading.

Construction material

Spiral freezers are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene, durability, and ease of cleaning in food processing environments.

• What maintenance is typically required for a spiral freezer?

  Regular maintenance typically includes belt tension checks, cleaning of evaporator coils, inspection of motors and bearings, and routine checks of the refrigeration system for leaks and efficiency.

• Can this type of freezer handle different product types?

• What are the typical operating temperatures?

• Is installation complex for a spiral freezer?

• What are the benefits of a spiral freezer over 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.
