Aðferð og búnaður til að auka nýtingu við frystingu matvæla

摘要

A method for increasing efficiency in the freezing of delicate items of food in freezing tunnels of the conventional type, including a freezing tunnel (8) having a device (6 and 7) for providing a strongly cooled flow of air to act as a freezing agent, at least two or more endless freezing conveyor belts (2, 3, 4) and (5) supported therein, a movable feeding conveyor (1) and a transfer conveyor (9), where the items of food do not tolerate being dropped from the upper freezing conveyors (2, 3, 4) onto the bottom freezing conveyor (5) until they have gained sufficient stiffness to preserve a nondeformable shape; the method including placing delicate items of food on the upper freezing conveyors (2, 3, 4), one at a time by a moveable feeding conveyor (1), where the upper freezing conveyors are stopped in a fixed sequence.
