A rapid, efficient and even freeze is thus achieved, resulting in low freezing costs per kilogram of product weight. Throughout the freeze, contact between the plates and product is maintained by Pre-set hydraulic Pressure. Plates of any size to suit specific requirements can be fabricated.

Advantages

• High Product Quality due to the rapid low temperature freezing maintains the natural quality with an improved product appearance.
• High Freezing Efficiency : The freezers operate at low temperatures even down to -40 Deg C. The horizontal plate close on to the packages or trays ensuring a complete top and bottom contact resulting in low freezing time.
• Package Uniformity : Double contact plate freezing results in a flat uniform which is easy for over wrapping thus assuring excellent product appearance.
• Weight Loss Reduction Because the product is sealed between the freezing plates, weight loss is not a problem which is associated with air blast freezing.
• Large freezing capacity in a small floor space
