EUROTEK SPIRAL FREEZER

• Freezing a wide range of food products such as bakery items, poultry, meat, fish, and prepared meals.
• Rapidly cooling products to preserve quality, texture, and extend shelf life.
• Handling high-volume production lines requiring continuous freezing processes.
• Processing individually quick frozen (IQF) products like fruits, vegetables, and seafood.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on product type and temperature requirements. Buyers should contact the seller for exact unit specifications.

Typical temperature range

Spiral freezers commonly operate at temperatures between -35°C and -45°C for optimal freezing efficiency.

Refrigeration medium

Units of this type typically utilise ammonia (NH3) or CO2 as the primary refrigerant, though other refrigerants may be found.

Power supply

Industrial spiral freezers commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with significant power draw for refrigeration compressors and motors.

Footprint considerations

While offering a compact freezing solution relative to linear freezers, spiral freezers still require substantial floor space and height clearance, as indicated by the approximate dimensions provided for this unit.

Belt material

Belts are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel or high-performance plastics like acetal, designed for durability and hygiene in low-temperature environments.

• What products are best suited for a spiral freezer?

  Spiral freezers are highly versatile and suitable for a broad array of products, including baked goods, poultry, red meat, fish, prepared meals, and various IQF items. The continuous process is ideal for high-volume production.

• What are the typical maintenance requirements for a used spiral freezer?

• Can the belt speed be adjusted?

• What are the typical installation requirements?

• Is this unit suitable for IQF products?

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.
