Frigoscandia - GC400 Classic Spiral Freezer

• Rapid freezing of bakery products such as bread, pastries, and cakes.
• Efficient freezing of prepared meals and ready-to-eat food items.
• Processing of various meat, poultry, and seafood products.
• Freezing of fruits, vegetables, and other IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) goods.
• Suitable for high-volume production lines requiring continuous freezing.

Belt width

This unit features a 400mm (15.7in) wide belt, which is common for medium-capacity spiral freezers.

Number of tiers

With 23 tiers, this unit offers a substantial belt length within a compact footprint, typical for continuous freezing applications.

Maximum product gap

A 45mm (1.77in) maximum product gap allows for processing of a range of product heights, commonly found on units of this type.

Throughput

Throughput for a GC400 Classic typically varies significantly based on product type, temperature, and dwell time requirements.

Refrigeration system

Units of this class commonly integrate with external ammonia or CO2 refrigeration systems, which would need to be specified separately.

Footprint

Spiral freezers are designed to maximise freezing capacity in a relatively small footprint compared to linear freezers, with specific dimensions varying by configuration.

Power supply

Typically requires a three-phase industrial power supply, with voltage and amperage dependent on the motor and control system specifications.

• What are the typical installation requirements?

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.
