NOTE: The efficiency of
any I.Q.F. freezing system is basically dependent upon the product
condition as it enters the freezer.
-
Control of free water content
of the product
-
In feed of product to ensure
reasonable separation of pieces, and spreading of product evenly
across the conveyor belt
Without free water control,
these five conditions diminish the capacity of the freezer:
-
Production of ice we don't
need
-
Excessive coil defrosting and
time loss
-
Deformation or breaking of
conveyor belts due to excessive ice build-up
-
Increase in power consumption
-
Serious production slow-down
It is suggested that if the
plant has not addressed these conditions with their own engineering
personnel, we will be pleased to provide consultation.
The following is a list of
features different from other makes:
The "Ripple-Flo" primary belt
design enhances fluidization freezing in the initial stage much
faster than the ordinary belt designs because:
-
As the cold air blast blows
upward through a single belt instead of the usual double belt, it
allows the lowest air temperature from the coils to reach the
product more quickly.
-
It provides for less
friction through the single belt, thereby providing more efficient
air suspension of the product.
-
The "Ripple-Flo" system has
curvatures in the belt that "tumble" the product to prevent
sticking and to increase cold air exposure to all product
surfaces. Not only is the blast cold air passing through
only one belt, the "tumbling" process is accomplished by designing
the single continuous belt to follow the belt guides in the curved
rise and fall of the "humps" that facilitate rapid freezing.
This also allows for low resistance and smooth operation in belt
travel.
As there are no other "rollers"
at the belts sides where they are supported and guided, no lubrication
is necessary. The U.H.M.W. belt guides eliminate a host of belts
parts and maintenance problems.
