Frigoscandia GC 600-08-24-14 NS CCR

• Freezing of bakery products such as bread, pastries, and dough.
• Processing of various meat products including poultry, red meat, and processed meat items.
• Freezing of seafood products like fish fillets, shrimp, and other shellfish.
• Handling of prepared meals and ready-to-eat food items.
• Processing of fruits and vegetables, particularly IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) applications.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 kg/h to over 5000 kg/h, depending on the product and freezer configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a three-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V/50Hz in the UK, with significant power draw for compressors and motors.

Refrigerant type

While older units may use refrigerants like R22, modern or refurbished systems often utilise more environmentally compliant refrigerants such as R404A or CO2.

Footprint

Spiral freezers are known for their compact footprint relative to their capacity, but still require substantial floor space and height clearance, typically several metres in each dimension.

Belt width

Working belt widths commonly range from 600 mm to 1500 mm, influencing product throughput and size.

Operating temperature

These freezers typically operate at temperatures down to -40°C or lower within the freezing zone.

• What is a Frigoscandia GC NS CCR Gyro Freezer?

  It is an industrial spiral freezer designed for continuous, high-volume freezing of various food products. The 'Gyro' refers to the rotating spiral belt system, and 'NS CCR' indicates a specific Frigoscandia model series, often featuring a self-stacking or compact design.

• What are the advantages of a spiral freezer?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used spiral freezer?

• Can this type of freezer be adapted for different products?

• What should I consider regarding the refrigerant type?

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.
