The two configurations use controlled airflow to improve product fluidization and heat transfer, but they are designed for different processing requirements.
The pulsed-air plastic mesh belt configuration is suitable for products requiring controlled airflow and gentle handling, particularly delicate fruits, vegetables, and small particulate products.
The replaceable plate-type configuration uses modular freezing plates that can be removed and replaced according to the processing requirements. This design is particularly useful for seafood and multi-SKU production where cleaning, maintenance, and product changeover are important considerations.
The appropriate configuration depends on the product characteristics, required throughput, freezing process, and factory cleaning requirements.
