Afos AT1500 Defroster

• Thawing frozen fish, meat, and poultry products in a controlled environment.
• Preparing frozen ingredients for further processing in food manufacturing.
• Defrosting bulk quantities of produce whilst maintaining product quality.
• Reducing thawing times compared to traditional ambient methods, improving throughput.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, batch capacities commonly range from 500kg to 1500kg, depending on product density and chamber size.

Power supply

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

Temperature control

Advanced models feature precise temperature and humidity control to ensure uniform thawing and minimise drip loss.

Construction material

Defrosters are generally constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Footprint

The footprint for an AT1500 model typically requires a dedicated area for installation, with dimensions varying based on chamber configuration.

Thawing method

Afos defrosters commonly utilise a controlled air circulation system, often with humidification, to achieve consistent thawing.

• What are the benefits of using a dedicated defroster over ambient thawing?

  Dedicated defrosters offer controlled conditions, reducing thawing times, minimising product weight loss, and maintaining hygiene standards more effectively than ambient methods.

• Is this unit suitable for all types of frozen products?

• What kind of maintenance does an Afos defroster typically require?

• Can the thawing parameters be adjusted for different products?

• What are the typical installation requirements for an Afos defroster?

Thawing systems are valued for precise temperature control and uniform sample preparation in laboratory and biotech environments. Buyers typically seek models with reliable defrost capabilities and minimal sample degradation. When purchasing used equipment, condition of heating elements and temperature calibration accuracy are critical inspection points. Industry sentiment favors systems offering consistent performance and straightforward maintenance. Durability and reproducibility across batches remain key strengths, making quality units reliable investments for processing workflows.
