Spiral Freezer

FPS Food Process Solutions Europe B. V.

Description

We believe in building long term partnerships with our customers. We listen to each of your unique needs and concerns and incorporate these in your freezer and cooler design. From basic packaged products to sensitive, ready-to-eat foods, our custom designs ensure your equipmentis optimized for each application.

Our robust fully welded enclosure is manufactured using heavy gauge stainless steel and high-density polyurethane insulation. This construction eliminates dangerous bacteria harborage points and the ongoing task of inspecting and caulking panel joints.

We offer a range of conveyor belting in stainless steel and acetal materials,in low tension and direct drive. From compact Intralox self-stacking solutions to the industry’s first 72 inch DirectDrive Systems, FPS has the best solution for your application.

EXTERIOR
The importance of hygienic design pushed us to think outside the box—literally. A specially engineered, welded wall and floor system incorporates an embedded support structure, allowing motors and gearboxes to be mounted on the outside of the enclosure. This not only protects  components from the harsh internal environment, extending their service life, it eliminates many
ancillary components such as conduit and junction boxes which greatly improves cleanability. This revolutionary design reduces the total cost of ownership by improving uptime while cutting maintenance and energy costs.

INTERIOR
Our focus on hygiene can be seen in the details of FPS’s assembly techniques, such as seamless
welding to eliminate bolted support structures, removing hollow or angle shaped supports that are difficult to clean and elevating the internal structure off the floor to prevent debris getting trapped under support pads. We also strive to minimize total surface area and components inside the freezer. This creates easier and safer access for maintenance and inspection while improving airflow and cleaning performance. These small details create big savings for our customers.

IQF Tunnels

IQF Tunnels

Our range of Individual Quick Freeze (IQF) tunnels implement a combination of pneumatic and
mechanical fluidization techniques for product separation. This ensures careful freezing for a wide variety of food products. For special applications, we offer a perforated Intralox acetal belt solution which ensures enhanced IQF performance for even the most difficult products. The combination of
our IQF technologies and our hygienic design fundamentals ensures you have a high performance
tunnel freezer with the highest in food safety standards.

Our robust fully welded enclosure is manufactured using heavy gauge stainless steel and high-density polyurethane insulation. This construction eliminates dangerous bacteria harborage points and the ongoing task of inspecting and caulking panel joints. Our flexible panel joints have continuous TIG welds to ensure smooth foodsafe surfaces and to allow for expansion and contraction during temperature changes.

For extended operation without shutdown, our synchronized sequential hot gas defrost system ensures seamless operation without impacting freezer performance and product quality. With precise airflow control, product always sees the same air temperature and velocity ensuring
consistency throughout production.

The one-piece radial fans are designedfor ease of cleaning and minimal maintenance. With options for aluminum orstainless steel construction, we can design for varying levels of chemical
regimens. Equipped with VFDs, the high pressure fans located below the product zone allow precise control of air velocity ensuring excellent product separation with minimal blow-over and low energy consumption. Mechanical agitation further enhances the flow of product through the freezer.

Our integrated Recirculating Clean-In-Place (CIP with compact skid provides repeatable and consistent full freezer cleaning with minimal consumables, manpower and energy. The dishwasher concept with recirculation and pasteurization maximizes freezer hygiene.

Impingement Tunnel

Impingement Tunnel

Our impingement and multipass tunnels have been developed for a range of cooling and freezing requirements for a wide variety of specialty products to optimize efficiency and product yield. Our impingement tunnels incorporate a hygienic pressure duct system to deliver high velocity air that quickly cools and freezes products. Our proprietary air slot design ensures efficiency even with products of varying geometries. Multiple belt pass/lane arrangements, belt widths and mesh/surface options, our impingement and multipass tunnels are matched to your production needs.

Our custom designed evaporators are offered in a range of fin materials including
aluminum, stainless steel or anti-microbial Cupronickel. We match stainless steel tube to chosen refrigerant whether NH4, Freon or CO2. Variable fin spacing and heavy duty fins allow for frost accumulation and durability.

For extended operation, our sequential defrost system ensures seamless operation without impacting freezer performance and product quality. With precise airflow control, product always
sees the same air temperature and velocity ensuring consistency throughout production. Elimination of dirty coil blocking louvers, enhances equipment energy efficiency and hygiene.

Offering a range of conveyor belting from stainless steel to plastic, we carefully evaluate the application of the food products to ensure the best solution is provided.

With external directly coupled fan motors, we eliminate the constant maintenance and hygienic
concerns of internal electrical components. We use centrifugal plug fans to generate high static
pressure for effective impingement freezing.
