Torry Continuous IQF Belt Freezer

• Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) of seafood, such as fish fillets, prawns, and shellfish.
• Processing of fruits and vegetables, including berries, diced vegetables, and sliced produce.
• Freezing of small meat products like meatballs, poultry pieces, and sausages.
• IQF processing of bakery items, such as pastries and dough portions.
• Suitable for various prepared foods requiring rapid, individual freezing.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 200 kg/hr to over 1000 kg/hr, depending on product type and belt width. This specific unit was last used for approximately 400 kg/hr of fish fillets.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase industrial electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with associated control voltage.

Refrigerant type

Units of this type commonly utilise Freon-based refrigerants, as specified for this unit, or other industrial refrigerants.

Belt material

Typically features a solid stainless steel belt, as described, for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Construction material

The cabinet and product contact parts are generally constructed from stainless steel for food safety and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

Continuous belt freezers require a significant linear footprint; buyers should consult the seller for exact dimensions of this unit.

Temperature range

Operating temperatures for IQF freezers typically range from -30°C to -40°C in the freezing zone to achieve rapid freezing.

• What is IQF freezing?

  IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) is a method where each product piece is frozen separately, preventing clumping and preserving quality, texture, and appearance.

• What are the benefits of a continuous belt freezer?

• What maintenance is typically required for an IQF belt freezer?

• Can this unit be used for products other than fish fillets?

• What should I consider regarding the refrigeration plant?

• Is installation complex for this type of equipment?

IQF systems are highly regarded in food processing for their ability to freeze individual products uniformly whilst maintaining quality and texture. Buyers typically value machines with reliable refrigeration components and consistent belt speed control. When purchasing used equipment, inspecting freezing chamber condition, verifying temperature consistency, and checking refrigerant integrity are essential. Industry users appreciate their efficiency in handling delicate items and relatively low maintenance demands compared to alternative freezing methods.
