Carnitech block freezing

Vertical plate freezer with automatic unloading

Designed with quick automatic unloading, Carnitech's vertical plate freezer increases productivity and eliminates heavy working routines. Knowing that these are important aspects of production in today's food processing companies, heavy emphasis has been put on ergonomics and reduction of unproductive time. The only manual handling required by the operator is filling the freezer.  

Saving costs and reducing staff

The design of the freezer is compact which allows for optimal space utilization. This makes the freezer particularly suited for onboard processing. Installation costs are low since no external conveyor belts are required and since it is possible to replace existing manual systems without rebuilding the site. In production facilities with more than one freezer, the units can profitably be placed in a row in order to use only one take-away conveyor for as many freezers as possible. This is cost as well as space saving.

Unique unloading system

Automatic unloading is activated once the blocks are frozen. The freezer unloads by raising the freezing plates and reversing the bottom system. One by one, the frozen blocks are released directly onto a conveyor belt and automatically guided to a horizontal position before take-away to packing/palletizing stations.

Flexibility

Block size is based on standard dimensions of 1070 mm x 530 mm. It can be diminished to 530 x 530 mm by the use of block dividers. The flexibility of the system allows for customized block sizes as well and the unique unloading principle allows for stationary block dividers. Since the blocks are released directly onto a belt, it is unnecessary to remove block dividers before unloading. Thickness can be either 75 mm or 100 mm.
