Twin-Drum Spiral Freezer

The Twin-Drum Spiral Freezer from China Lynxcool is a state-of-the-art freezing solution designed to meet the demands of modern high-throughput food processing facilities. Built for efficiency, versatility, and hygiene, this industrial freezer provides a dual-drum, continuous IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) system capable of handling multiple SKUs simultaneously, delivering rapid freezing without compromising product quality. It is engineered for a broad range of food types, including meat, poultry, seafood, ready-to-eat meals, and baked goods.

Key Features and Technological Advantages

The Twin-Drum Spiral Freezer integrates advanced engineering and practical design to enhance productivity and minimize operational costs. Its primary technological advantages include:

Dual-Drum, Dual-Helix Conveyor Architecture

· Two independent spiral conveyors housed on separate rotating drums.

· Conveyor belt spirals upward on drum 1, transfers to drum 2 at the top, and spirals downward.

· Double the conveyor length and freezing time with a footprint only 30–40% larger than a single-drum system.

· Ideal for thick products or high-volume applications requiring extended dwell times.

Shared Refrigeration System

· A single refrigeration system supports both drums, reducing capital investment and energy consumption per kilogram of product.

· Components include screw compressor, condenser, evaporator coil array, EC fan system, and PLC control system.

· Factory-integrated and tested for seamless operation.

Multi-Product Freezing Capability

· Supports batch operation for simultaneous freezing of two different products.

· Each drum maintains independent dwell times with a uniform conveyor speed.

· Maximizes equipment utilization in multi-SKU production environments.

Hygienic and Easy-to-Maintain Design

· Compliant with EHEDG standards for food safety.

· Open-frame structure facilitates cleaning.

· Drum transfer sections and conveyor disassembly are tool-free, ensuring thorough CIP (Clean-in-Place) cleaning.
