Retrofit and Line Expansion in Poultry Processing<\/span><\/h3>\n

A major producer of halal chicken products in the Netherlands needed a comprehensive upgrade of their existing freezing line. Their spiral freezer showed signs of wear and required a full overhaul. At the same time, there was a technical challenge: injected chicken pieces were sticking to the belt during the freezing process.<\/p>\n

The Challenge: Stick-Free Freezing Within an Existing Line <\/span><\/h3>\n

The goal was twofold, to fully revise the spiral freezer and to prevent the chicken pieces from sticking during freezing. This required a pre-freeze solution that could be seamlessly integrated into the current production line without sacrificing capacity or continuity.<\/p>\n

The Solution: Full Retrofit and Contact Belt Freezer<\/span><\/h3>\n

Van Abeelen delivered both a complete technical retrofit and a belt contact freezer to pre-freeze the underside of the chicken pieces. This prevents product adhesion inside the spiral freezer and ensures a smooth production flow.<\/p>\n
