This often happens within about one minute, with a crust layer of approximately 1.5 mm. The core of the product remains soft and retains its original structure.<\/p>\n<h2>Prevent product damage and improve product handling<\/h2>\n<p>A contact freezer before a spiral freezer helps make delicate products more stable as they go through the rest of the freezing process.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prevents soft products from sticking to the spiral freezer conveyor belt<\/li>\n<li>Reduces the risk of belt marks in the product<\/li>\n<li>Retains shape, structure and appearance<\/li>\n<li>Ensures more stable product handling during the subsequent freezing process<\/li>\n<li>Reduces product loss and increases process reliability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Lower energy consumption through controlled pre-freezing<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to product protection, a contact freezer also ensures a more efficient freezing process. Because the product is already partially cooled before entering the spiral freezer, the spiral freezer has to remove less heat.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A lower required cooling capacity of the spiral freezer<\/li>\n<li>More efficient energy consumption<\/li>\n<li>A higher capacity within the same installation<\/li>\n<li>A more stable and manageable freezing process<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Ideal for soft and sensitive products<\/h3>\n<p>Contact freezers are widely used for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dough products<\/li>\n<li>Fish products<\/li>\n<li>Chicken products<\/li>\n<li>Other soft or sticky foods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The ideal preparation for your freezing line<\/h2>\n<p>By controllably stabilizing the product surface and pre-freezing the product, an optimal preparation for the further freezing process is created. In combination with a spiral freezer, this ensures higher product quality, less waste, and more energy-efficient production.<\/p>\n<p>Van Abeelen Food Processing Technology develops belt contact freezing solutions completely tailored to your product, capacity, and production process.
