OctoFrost IQF 7/2 LH tunnel freezer

Description for OctoFrost IQF 7/2 LH tunnel freezer

In good condition Octofrost IQF 7/2 LH tunnel freezer on Ammonia (NH3). IQF stands for Individually Quick Freezing and is specially designed for freezing smaller pieces of food in a short period of time. This helps to prevent ice crystals from forming in the structure of foods like vegetables, berries, cheese, meat and seafood. The freezer is complete with an infeed/outfeed, electrical cabinets, evaporators and a Siemens Simatic panel controller. Of course, we can also supply other refrigeration technology, such as compressors and condensers. Please feel free to contact us for more information!

The foods are placed on the infeed belt that has a height of around 2380 mm. The products are then transported through the Octofrost by a vibrating belt. The belt has a drop to separate the products and remove excess ice from the outside. The belt is approximately 8100 mm long and 850 mm wide. When the product is frozen to the correct core temperature, it comes out of the outfeed at a height of 1255 mm. The freezer has three hatches for inspecting the product while it is on the belt.

The OctoFrost contains two NH3 evaporators that make sure that the product gets frozen to the right core temperature of -18°C. There are 7 centrifugal fans that are each directly driven by an ABB M3AA 132 MB electric motor with the following specifications: 50 Hz - 11 kW - 1450 RPM - diameter 630 mm. These fans push air from below through the holes in the belt, preventing the product from freezing to the belt. The side panel can be extended, making it easy to inspect and clean the evaporators and fans if necessary.

In addition, the Octofrost also comes with the associated control cabinet, which contains 7 ABB frequency drives for the conveyor belts, 3 Key Technology MFS 268 XL frequency drives for the belt vibration and a Siemens panel to control the freezer.
