How JET's New Type Spiral Freezer Boosts Efficiency in High-Volume Food Production

In high-volume food manufacturing, freezing equipment directly dictates production throughput, space utilization, and product quality stability. JET’s new type spiral freezer, engineered with nearly 30 years of European refrigeration technology experience, integrates efficient spiral conveying and precision temperature control to address the pain points of large-scale food freezing. This article explores how this equipment optimizes high-volume production efficiency through its core design, technical advantages, and application value.

1. What is JET's New Type Spiral Freezer?

JET’s new type spiral freezer is a high-efficiency quick-freezing device tailored for large-batch food processing. Its core design combines a vertical spiral mesh belt conveyor with a multi-zone circulating cold air system:

• Products are placed on a stainless steel spiral mesh belt, moving continuously through the freezing chamber in a helical path;

• Low-temperature air (-35°C to -38°C) circulates uniformly around the product via high-efficiency fans, achieving rapid and consistent heat exchange.

This structure enables the equipment to handle up to 4000kg/h of materials while maintaining a compact footprint, making it a core solution for high-volume food production.

2. Core Advantages of JET's Spiral Freezer in High-Volume Production

Based on JET’s product specifications and technical features, its efficiency-enhancing advantages include:

Extreme Space Utilization:

The vertical spiral design reduces the equipment’s floor area by 60% compared to linear tunnel freezers (e.g., a 2000kg/h capacity model only requires ~30m² of space). This is critical for production facilities with limited floor space, allowing more room for upstream/downstream processes.

Continuous High Throughput:

The spiral mesh belt supports uninterrupted 24/7 operation, with adjustable speed (0.8-1.2m/min) matching different production line rhythms. The equipment’s modular design allows capacity expansion (from 500kg/h to 6000kg/h) without major facility modifications, adapting to business growth.

Uniform Freezing & Quality Preservation:

The multi-zone airflow control system ensures consistent cold air distribution in the spiral chamber, avoiding local over-freezing or under-freezing. This minimizes large ice crystal formation, reducing product thawing loss to <2% and preserving the original texture of foods (e.g., hot pot ingredients, aquatic products, pastries).

Low Maintenance & High Reliability:

The mesh belt uses wear-resistant US 304 stainless steel with an automatic tensioning system, reducing belt replacement frequency by 40% compared to traditional models. The fully welded stainless steel casing and quick-release floor panels simplify cleaning, cutting daily maintenance time by 30%.

4. Application Scenarios

JET's spiral freezer is widely used in high-volume food production:

• Aquatic products: Quick-freezing of shrimp, fish balls, and surimi products;

• Prepared foods: Freezing of hot pot ingredients, chicken nuggets, and ready-to-eat meals;

• Pastries & dairy: Freezing of bread dough, cakes, and ice cream;

• Fruits & vegetables: Quick-freezing of frozen french fries and vegetable mixes.

For example, a large hot pot ingredient manufacturer increased daily output by 30% after adopting JET’s spiral freezer, while reducing product defective rates (due to uneven freezing) from 5% to 0.8%.

5. Why Choose JET's New Type Spiral Freezer?

In high-volume food production, JET’s solution balances scale, efficiency, and cost:

• It meets the throughput requirements of large food enterprises (e.g., 4000kg/h capacity) while controlling space and energy costs;

• The uniform freezing performance ensures compliance with high-end market quality standards (e.g., export aquatic products);

• The low-maintenance design reduces operational downtime, maximizing production uptime.

In conclusion, JET's new type spiral freezer is a high-efficiency freezing solution tailored for large-scale food production. Its vertical spiral design, continuous throughput, and precision control capabilities make it a core asset for food manufacturers aiming to enhance production efficiency, reduce costs, and maintain product quality consistency.
