A guide through different freezing technologies
For many food processors, choosing the right freezing equipment is the greatest challenge at the start, as the choices seem wide and many times confusing. This guide will try to give a better understanding of the differences between the many types of freezers out on the market.
As a start, it is important to mention that freezing time is one of the most important parameters in the freezing process. The freezing time represents the time needed to decrease the temperature of the product’s thermal centre to a specific temperature below zero and the reason why it is so important is because it determines the quality of the final product and the operation costs.
The International Institute of Refrigeration has defined a number of factors which influence the freezing time and those include: the shape and dimensions of the product, the in-feed and out-feed temperatures, the temperature of the refrigerating medium, the surface heat transfer coefficient of the product, the change in the total heat content in the system and the thermal conductivity of the product. Therefore in order to get the optimal freezing time and by extension, the optimal freezing results, the right equipment should be chosen for specific products.
