Food Processing
JBT Corporation has introduced a fast-freezing solution for the food industry with the launch of the ADVANTEC Narrow Impingement Freezer.
Building on the earlier ADVANTEC Impingement Freezer, the ADVANTEC Narrow brings all the capacity and functionality benefits of the original freezer, but with innovations aimed at reducing its footprint and alleviating the pressures of high cryogenic gas prices on companies.
It provides high-speed freezing of flat products up to 25 mm thick, and chill and crust freeze of products up to 200 mm thick — such as meat, seafood and fish.
Using air jet technology, the system freezes foods in minutes. It is designed to preserve product quality, taste and mouthfeel, and to avoid the potential damage caused by drip-loss and ice crystals in conventional freezers. The process is also designed to minimise dehydration and maximise yield, while also increasing product shelf life.
Thanks to its smaller dimensions, the system allows processors that had been using cryogenic freezing equipment — typically with a smaller width than the standard ADVANTEC — to replace their cryogenic gas freezers with a full-impingement method of freezing.
