Milmeq V16 Plate Freezer system

Click2Contact

The Milmeq V16 Plate Freezer is a system suitable for snap-freezing seafood product. Product is loaded into the freezer cavities by an operator and rapidly frozen through a contact freezing method.

Each cavity is surrounded by a refrigerated plate which circulates either ammonia, CO₂ or freon refrigerant through the entire system. Freezing time is approximately three to four hours and once the product has been frozen, the system activates the automatic unload sequence.

The unload starts with a hot gas defrost of the plates and then a mechanical lifting of the plates allows the frozen blocks of food to smoothly eject from the system onto an underlying conveyor which transports the product to packing/palletising.

The V16 freezer is suitable for both land and marine installation. The technology can improve productivity, maximise footprint and reduce manual handling of fresh seafood product. The integrated automation controls ensure the system maximises freezing productivity and caters for high-throughput processing lines.
