Hermes Frozen Block Flaker

• Flaking frozen meat blocks for further processing in the food industry.
• Preparing frozen fish blocks for use in ready meals or pet food production.
• Reducing large frozen vegetable blocks into smaller, manageable flakes.
• Processing frozen butter or other dairy blocks for industrial baking or ingredient preparation.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes per hour, depending on block size and motor power.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying motor power.

Construction material

Flakers designed for food processing are almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Suitable feed block size

The aperture size dictates the maximum dimensions of the frozen blocks that can be processed. Units commonly accommodate blocks up to 600mm in one dimension.

Footprint

The total length of such a machine can typically range from 1.5m to 3m, with a width and height of around 1m to 2m, requiring adequate floor space.

Blade configuration

These machines typically feature robust rotating blades or a drum system designed to shave flakes from the frozen block.

Safety features

Common safety features include interlocked guards, emergency stop buttons, and overload protection for the motor.

Separators and extraction systems are valued for their reliability in sample preparation workflows across laboratory and pharmaceutical settings. Buyers typically seek equipment with robust construction and minimal downtime history. Key considerations when purchasing used units include chamber integrity, seal condition, and calibration documentation. Industry sentiment favours models offering consistent reproducibility and easy maintenance. Established brands generally command confidence due to parts availability and technical support, though thorough inspection and performance testing remain essential before purchase.
