Samifi Horizontal Plate Freezer Built in compressor

• Rapid freezing of packaged food products such as fish fillets, meat portions, and prepared meals.
• Batch freezing in small to medium-scale food processing operations.
• Product development and testing in pilot plants or test kitchens.
• Freezing of liquid or semi-liquid products in trays or pouches.

Typical capacity

For this class of horizontal plate freezer, capacities commonly range from 100 kg to 300 kg per batch, depending on product density and plate dimensions.

Number of stations

Units of this type typically feature between 5 and 15 freezing stations (plates).

Refrigeration type

Commonly integrated refrigeration systems utilise refrigerants such as Freon (R-22, R-404A) or more modern alternatives.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V/50Hz in the UK, with specific amperage requirements varying by compressor size.

Temperature range

Plate freezers are designed to achieve product core temperatures down to -18°C or lower.

Footprint

A compact design for this type of integrated unit makes it suitable for spaces where floor area is at a premium.

• What is a horizontal plate freezer?

  A horizontal plate freezer uses refrigerated plates that are pressed against packaged products to achieve rapid and efficient freezing. Products are loaded between the plates, which then close to ensure good thermal contact.

• What are the benefits of a built-in compressor?

• What kind of products can be frozen in this type of unit?

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

• Can this unit be converted to a different refrigerant?

Plate freezers are valued for their efficiency in rapid product freezing across food processing applications. Buyers typically appreciate their compact footprint and consistent performance. When purchasing used equipment, inspecting plate condition for corrosion or damage is essential, as worn plates reduce freezing efficiency. Key strengths include reliable operation, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and suitability for batch processing. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers with documented service histories. Buyers should verify refrigeration system integrity and confirm spare parts availability before committing to purchase.
