Plate freezers
Plate freezers are used to freeze flat products, such as pastries, fish fillets, and beef patties, as well as irregular-shaped vegetables that are packaged in brick-shaped containers, such as asparagus, cauliflower, spinach, and broccoli. The food is firmly pressed between metal plates that are cooled to subfreezing temperatures by internally circulating refrigerants.
Plate freezers are commonly used for freezing brick-shaped packaged products. In plate freezers, refrigerant is allowed to circulate inside thin channels within the plates. The packaged products are firmly pressed between the plates. High rates of heat transfer can be obtained between the packaged product and the refrigerant plates.
