- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 kg/hr to 1500 kg/hr, depending on product type and freezing requirements. This specific unit is advertised at approximately 600 kg/hr.
- Power supply
- Spiral freezers typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V/50Hz in the UK, with varying amperage requirements based on compressor size and motor load.
- Refrigerant type
- Units of this type commonly utilise refrigerants such as Ammonia (NH3) or various HFCs (e.g., R404A, R507). Buyers should confirm the specific refrigerant used in this unit.
- Belt width and tiers
- Effective belt widths for midget spiral freezers are typically in the range of 300mm to 600mm, with the number of tiers varying to achieve desired dwell times. This unit features an 18-tier configuration with a 355mm effective belt width.
- Product gap
- The product gap, which dictates the maximum product height, is commonly around 40mm to 60mm for this type of freezer. This unit offers a 45mm product gap.
- Footprint
- Skid-mounted spiral freezers are designed for a relatively compact footprint compared to linear freezers of similar capacity, though exact dimensions vary significantly by model and tier configuration. Buyers should request specific dimensions for installation planning.
- Construction material
- The freezing tunnel and belt are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability, with insulation panels commonly made from insulated composite materials.
