Top Quality Quick Freezing Equipment Manufacturer
The technical standard of the quick-freezing process directly determines the product yield, post-thaw texture, and quality stability throughout the shelf life. For export-oriented food processing enterprises, freezing performance also impacts compliance with market access requirements in destination countries.
Selecting quick freezing equipment requires a comprehensive evaluation of several variables: initial product temperature, throughput capacity, freezing duration per batch, target core temperature of the finished product, available workshop space, compatibility with existing refrigeration systems, and ease of routine maintenance. Deviations in any of these areas can result in actual capacity falling short of design specifications, energy consumption exceeding industry benchmarks, or uneven freezing.
Based on this evaluation framework, Lynxcool provides tailored quick-freezing equipment and process solutions for food processing and cold chain enterprises.
Equipment Types and Typical Applications
Fluidized Bed IQF Freezer
The Fluidized Bed IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) Freezer is designed for granular, sliced, and small-piece products with particle sizes ranging from 3 mm to 60 mm. High-pressure cold air is evenly distributed upward through a specially engineered air distribution plate, suspending the product in a fluidized state throughout the freezing zone. This allows every surface to be exposed to cold air simultaneously, ensuring each piece freezes individually without sticking together.
Typical Products
- Berries: Blueberries, whole and sliced strawberries, raspberries, blackberries
- Seafood: White shrimp, peeled shrimp, squid rings, scallops, fish cubes
- Vegetables & Fruits: Green peas, sweet corn kernels, diced carrots, broccoli florets, diced mango, diced pineapple
Technical Specifications
- Capacity: 200 kg/h to 5,000 kg/h (based on green peas)
- Evaporating Temperature: -35°C to -42°C
- Freezing Time: 8–30 minutes, depending on product type and particle size
Spiral IQF Freezer
The Spiral IQF Freezer is designed for products with relatively regular shapes that require continuous, high-volume production. Products are conveyed on a stainless steel mesh belt that travels upward or downward through a spiral tower. Chilled air from the evaporator is circulated uniformly across each layer, providing efficient heat exchange. Compared with conventional tunnel freezers, spiral freezers can reduce installation space by approximately 40% while maintaining the same production capacity.
Single-spiral and double-spiral configurations are available. The double-spiral model features independent infeed and discharge systems, allowing simultaneous processing of two production lines or uninterrupted continuous operation.
Typical Products
- Meat Products: Hamburger patties, chicken nuggets, chicken strips, meatballs, sausages
- Prepared Seafood: Breaded fish fillets, seasoned shrimp balls, squid rings
- Prepared Foods: Spring rolls, curry puffs, steamed buns, dumplings, rice balls
Technical Specifications
- Capacity: 300 kg/h to 3,000 kg/h (based on hamburger patties)
- Evaporating Temperature: -35°C to -40°C
- Belt Width Options: 600 mm, 900 mm, 1,200 mm
Tunnel Belt Freezer
The Tunnel Belt Freezer is suitable for irregularly shaped, thick, or heavy products that are not suitable for fluidized or spiral conveying. Products travel in a straight line through the freezing tunnel on a stainless steel solid belt or mesh belt while cold air is blown from both the upper and lower sides, providing uniform heat transfer and consistent freezing performance.
Typical Products
- Whole Poultry: Whole chickens, chicken legs, duck breasts
- Large Meat Cuts: Pork ribs, beef cubes, lamb legs
- Seafood: Whole fish, large fish fillets
- Fruit & Vegetable Products: Diced mango, pineapple rings, pumpkin cubes
Technical Specifications
- Capacity: 500 kg/h to 10,000 kg/h
- Evaporating Temperature: -35°C to -40°C
- Belt Width Options: 800 mm, 1,200 mm, 1,600 mm
Plate Freezer
The Plate Freezer transfers heat through direct contact between aluminum evaporator plates and both sides of the product, achieving significantly higher heat transfer efficiency than air convection freezing. It is ideal for regularly shaped block products requiring rapid freezing. Fast core temperature reduction minimizes ice crystal growth, helping preserve product texture and reduce drip loss after thawing.
Typical Products
- Seafood: Tuna loins, salmon blocks, cod blocks
- Meat Products: Standard meat portions, poultry cuts
- Pre-cooled Fruit and Vegetable Products
Food Grade & Pharmaceutical Grade
The Freeze Dryer removes moisture by sublimating ice directly into vapor under low-temperature vacuum conditions. This process preserves the original shape, color, flavor, nutritional value, and biological activity of the product far better than conventional drying methods.
Typical Products
- Food: Freeze-dried strawberries, blueberries, banana slices, shrimp, shredded chicken, pet treats
- Pharmaceutical: Freeze-dried collagen powder, probiotic cultures, herbal extracts
Technical Specifications
- Ice Condenser Material: SUS304 or SUS316L stainless steel
- Cleaning System: CIP (Clean-in-Place)
- Freeze-Drying Area: 5 m² to 200 m², configurable according to production capacity requirements
