Fluidised Bed IQF Freezer

Lynxcool Fluidised Bed IQF Freezer from a leading China factory and supplier delivers uniform and rapid freezing for delicate foods. Equipped with perforated belts, vibration tunnels, and adjustable airflow control, this equipment ensures optimal product separation and high hygiene standards. Pre-fluidized surface freezing zones prevent clumping of moist products such as shrimp, berries, and cooked grains. Its CIP-compliant design allows easy cleaning, enhancing operational efficiency and food safety in industrial production.

Advanced Individual Quick Freezing Solution

Precise Freezing for High-Quality Products

The Fluidised Bed IQF Freezer from Lynxcool offers a revolutionary approach to freezing small and delicate food items. By combiningfluidized airflow with optimized mechanical configurations, this equipment ensures rapid and uniform freezing, preserving the texture, color, and nutritional value of each product. It is designed for a wide range of food categories, including seafood, vegetables, berries, and cooked grains.

Using advancedpre-fluidized surface freezing zones, the freezer rapidly solidifies the surface of moist or sticky products, preventing them from sticking together while maintaining their natural appearance. This level of precision and control sets it apart from conventional freezing systems.

Key Features

Applications

Seafood

The Fluidised Bed IQF Freezer excels in freezing shrimp, small fish, squid, and other seafood items. Its controlled fluidization prevents products from clumping while maintaining a high-quality appearance.

Best Practices Table – Seafood

Vegetables

Small vegetables such as peas, corn, and edamame require precise freezing to retain texture and prevent clumping. The combination of perforated belts and vibration tunnel configurations ensures each kernel or pod is individually frozen.

FAQ

Q: What is fluidisation, and how does it achieve better IQF than a belt or spiral freezer?

A: Fluidization suspends each product in the airflow by increasing the upward airflow velocity above the product's settling velocity. The cold air simultaneously contacts all surfaces of the product (top, bottom, and sides), maximizing heat transfer compared to belt or spiral freezers which only contact the top and sides. This increases freezing speed and prevents clumping.

Q: What products can be frozen in a fluidised bed IQF freezer?

A: Suitable for small, individual, and uniformly shaped foods, such as shrimp, small seafood, peas, corn kernels, berries, cut vegetables, cooked rice, and pasta. Not suitable for large, fragile, or unevenly shaped products.

Q: How is the fluidisation air velocity set for different products?

A: The minimum fluidization rate and terminal velocity for each product define the operating range. Lynxcool presets the airflow speed based on product characteristics and adjusts it in real time via PLC to adapt to different product batches.

Q: Why does the fluidised bed freezer defrost more frequently than a spiral or tunnel freezer?

A: Fluidized bed freezers process small, moist products with large surface areas, resulting in significant water evaporation and rapid frost formation on the evaporator. Thawing is required every 4-8 hours. Lynxcool employs a dual-zone evaporator to minimize the impact of thawing on production.
