An Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) spiral freezer is a highly efficient and advanced freezer that's used in various food processing industries to freeze food products quickly and evenly. IQF technology uses a unique method of freezing where each individual piece of the food product is quickly frozen individually. This is done by continuously moving the food product through a refrigeration system where the temperature inside the freezer decreases gradually.
What sets a used spiral freezer apart from other types of freezers is its unique spiral design. The design of this freezer allows it to have a small footprint while still being able to process a large amount of food product efficiently.
When it comes to food processing, properly freezing perishable goods is one of the most critical steps to ensure their quality and safety. IQF spiral freezers are widely used in the food industry to freeze a wide range of products such as fruits, vegetables, seafood, meat, poultry, and bakery goods. Spiral freezers use conveyors that spiral downward while products are being frozen. This freezing method allows for more even and efficient cooling of the products, resulting in a high-quality final product.
An IQF spiral freezer works by continuously moving the product through a tunnel freezer system, which contains a cold stream of air that rapidly freezes the food. This unique freezing system allows the product to enter at normal temperature and decreases by 35 to 40 degrees rapidly as it moves through the spiral freezer. The spirals within the freezer help ensure the product is evenly frozen at below-zero temperatures, reducing any possible risk of freezer burn and thereby retaining freshness, taste, and nutrient value. Spiral freezers come in various capacities, from low to high, and are built to meet the specific requirements of frozen product processes.
IQF spiral freezers have become increasingly popular in the food industry for their ability to freeze food products to preserve their quality and taste consistently. One of the main advantages of using spiral freezers is their ability to freeze products individually, also known as individually quick freezing. This process ensures each product is frozen separately from others, preventing clumping and preserving their integrity. A used spiral freezer also works quickly, able to freeze products in a matter of minutes, which allows for a more efficient production process.
