Eurotek Compact Spiral Freezer With Plant

• Rapid freezing of bakery products such as bread, pastries, and cakes.
• Processing of prepared meals, including ready meals, pizzas, and convenience foods.
• Freezing of various meat, poultry, and fish products like burgers, nuggets, and fillets.
• Suitable for freezing fruits and vegetables, maintaining product quality and texture.
• Used in dairy for freezing ice cream products and other frozen desserts.

Typical capacity

For this class of compact spiral freezer, throughput can typically range from 500 kg/hr to 2,000 kg/hr, depending on product type and temperature requirements.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply, with power consumption varying based on refrigeration plant size and operational load.

Refrigerant type

This unit uses R404a, a common refrigerant for industrial freezing applications, though newer installations may use alternative refrigerants.

Footprint

Compact spiral freezers are designed to minimise floor space, typically requiring a footprint significantly smaller than linear freezers for equivalent capacity.

Construction material

Units in this category are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene, durability, and compliance with food safety standards.

Product gap

A 120mm product gap is commonly found on units of this type, allowing for a good range of product heights to be processed.

• What are the main benefits of a compact spiral freezer?

  Compact spiral freezers offer significant space-saving advantages over linear freezers, making them ideal for facilities with limited floor space. They also provide continuous processing for high throughput.

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

• What kind of products can be frozen with a 550mm belt width?

• What is the significance of the 2012 GEA overhaul?

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.
