Single Drum Spiral Freezer

The Single Drum Spiral Freezer offers continuous freezing for seafood, meat, poultry, pastry, and other food products. With a space-efficient spiral design, durable SUS304 mesh belt, and flexible configuration options, it supports different production capacities and food processing requirements.

Applications of Single Drum Spiral Freezer

The Single Drum Spiral Freezer is designed for continuous freezing applications where production capacity and available floor space are important considerations. It can be used for a range of food products, including seafood, meat, poultry, pastry, and ice cream. The suitability of the equipment depends on the product's size, shape, initial temperature, target temperature, and required freezing time.

For food processing plants handling different products, the freezing process should be evaluated according to the characteristics of each product. Product dimensions, moisture content, loading conditions, and belt arrangement can all affect freezing performance. Matching these factors with the freezer configuration helps support consistent processing results and smooth production flow.

Key Advantages of Single Drum Spiral Freezer

• Space-Efficient Spiral Structure: The spiral conveyor arrangement allows products to move continuously through the freezing chamber, making it suitable for production lines that need to use available floor space efficiently.

• Durable SUS304 Stainless Steel Mesh Belt: The high-strength spiral mesh belt is designed for continuous product conveying. Its construction supports stable belt operation in industrial food processing environments.

• Insulated Freezing Chamber: The 120 mm polyurethane (PU) insulated wall panels and 225 mm insulated floor help limit heat transfer between the freezing chamber and the surrounding environment.

• Effective Heat Exchange: The aluminium alloy evaporator features closely arranged aluminium tubes and fins to support heat exchange within the freezing system.

• Flexible Configuration and Operation: Two air circulation options are available according to product requirements. The inlet and outlet directions can also be selected to suit the factory layout and production process.

• Control and Safety Features: Depending on the selected configuration, the control system can use relay control, a PLC, or a touchscreen. Listed safety devices include a conveyor belt turn-over sensor, belt induction regulator, and emergency switch.

How to Choose the Right Single Drum Spiral Freezer

Selecting a Single Drum Spiral Freezer requires more than matching equipment capacity to the production target. The product characteristics, freezing conditions, and available installation space should also be considered.

• Required Throughput: The stated freezing capacity range is 250–3000 kg/h. The appropriate model depends on the actual product and operating conditions, so capacity should be confirmed for the intended application.

• Product and Freezing Requirements: Provide information about the food type, product dimensions, inlet temperature, target outlet temperature, and required freezing time. These details help determine whether the proposed configuration meets the production requirements.

• Factory Layout and Conveyor Direction: Available installation space and the positions of upstream and downstream equipment affect the selection of inlet and outlet directions.

• Air Circulation and Equipment Configuration: The appropriate air circulation option should be selected according to product characteristics and process requirements. The final configuration should be confirmed with the equipment supplier before ordering.

A suitable model should meet the required throughput and freezing conditions while fitting the existing production layout. Accurate product and process information is therefore essential when confirming the equipment configuration.
