What is the spiral tunnel freezing method?

Aug 1, 2024

The spiral tunnel freezing method combines elements of both spiral and tunnel freezing technologies. It typically involves a spiral conveyor system enclosed within a tunnel-like structure. This hybrid approach offers: 1. Extended freezing time 2. Efficient use of both...

What is a compact inline tunnel freezer?

Aug 28, 2024

The Compact Inline Tunnel Freezer is a flexible and efficient freezing system designed by Korutek Engineering. It operates using one to three inverter-controlled conveyor belts within a single enclosure, allowing products to pass through up to three times the...

What are the disadvantages of tunnel freezers?

Aug 28, 2024

While tunnel freezers have their place in food processing, they do have some limitations: Space requirements: Typically require more horizontal space than spiral freezers Limited capacity: May have lower throughput compared to spiral systems in the same footprint...

How does a tunnel freezer work?

Aug 28, 2024

A tunnel freezer operates by moving products on a conveyor belt through a long, insulated tunnel where cold air is circulated to freeze the product. Key aspects include: Linear design: Products move in a straight line or slight curve through the freezing zone Forced...

What is the difference between a tunnel freezer and a spiral freezer?

Aug 1, 2024

The primary difference lies in their design and operational flow. A tunnel freezer uses a straight-line conveyor system, whereas a spiral freezer employs a helical belt. Spiral freezers are more compact and provide a higher freezing capacity per unit of floor space,...
