The fluidized bed freezer is an advanced equipment designed for quick freezing of fruits, vegetables, seafood and other food products. It utilizes a unique fluidization technology that combines vibration and high-velocity cold air to create optimal freezing conditions.
The working principle involves food particles moving on a stainless steel conveyor belt while being subjected to upward cold air flow. When the air velocity reaches a certain level, the food particles become suspended, forming a fluidized bed. This process ensures rapid freezing through three phases: initial cooling, surface freezing and deep freezing.
Key features include: quiet centrifugal fans generating high-pressure cold air, automatic control system with inverter speed adjustment, aluminum coil with large fins for high heat exchange efficiency, and optional CIP system for automatic cleaning. The equipment is available in both semi-fluidized and full-fluidized configurations to accommodate different product types.
The full fluidized version uses transverse vibration transportation and is ideal for small, fragile items like berries, peas or scallops. The semi-fluidized version with horizontal conveying is better suited for larger items such as broccoli, meatballs or French fries.
All models are constructed with high-quality SUS304 stainless steel for durability and food safety. The equipment comes with various refrigerant options including R717, R22, R404a and R507a to meet different operational requirements.
