Quick freeze cabinet, also named as instant freezer is suitable for a small scale capacity to rapid freeze French fries, meat, poultry, fruit, seafood etc.
In the contact plate freezer, the product is pressed between metal plates (hollow shelves). Refrigerant is circulated inside channels in the plates, which ensures efficient heat transfer and results in short freezing times, as in the case of frozen fish fillets, shrimp, chopped spinach, or meat offal.
Fluidization frozen is an ideal way to achieve the IQF (Individually Quick Freezing), which is suitable for freezing the flakes, lumps, strip and granular vegetables with rapid freezing speed.
Properly frozen foods maintain more of their original color, flavor and texture and generally more of their nutrients. Air blast freezers typically are operated at temperatures of -30 to -45°C with forced air velocities of 1.5–6.0 m s-1.
