GEA Refrigeration Technologies introduces High Velocity Freezer
GEA Refrigeration Technologies introduced its HVF-Freezer (High Velocity Freezer) at the International Poultry Expo (IPE) in Atlanta. The HVF is an innovative and improved freezer concept basing upon existing impingement freezer technology.
Impingement freezers apply to freezing of hamburgers and other flat products, as well as for crust freezing or set freezing of various food products. GEA’s new HVF freezer uses a new uniquely designed high velocity air jets to quickly reduce the outer layer temperature of food by breaking the insulating boundary layer, allowing the surface to be frozen very quickly. This effect allows the product to freeze faster than in conventional freezer and thus minimizing dehydration losses.
