HORIZONTAL PLATE FREEZERS

A horizontal plate freezer is designed for freezing blocks of food and portioned food products quickly.

The plate freezer consists of several horizontal freezing plates with empty space in between. The products you wish to freeze will be placed in special freezing trays. Afterwards the freezing trays are placed on each freezing plate to be frozen. The frozen blocks and portions of food will be easy to stack and store after the freezing process.

The quality of the frozen food products will be preserved perfectly when implementing a horizontal plate freezer within your processing line. In various food industries such as the seafood processing industry, a quick-freezing machine is completely indispensable.

The Carsoe Plate Freezers are faster and more efficient than our competitors. In depth knowledge of all aspects of refrigeration allow us to carefully calculate every part of the plate freezer to ensure the best possible freezing times.

Take our customer's word for it:

“We have our old CO2 horizontal platefreezers and the MSM product in the platefreezers is at -18°C in about 75 minutes.

In our new horizontal platefreezers the MSM product in the platefreezers is at -18°C in about 60 minutes.

The design of a horizontal contact plate freezer showcases precision engineering, addressing the challenges of modern freezing processes in the food industry. At its core, this freezer utilizes a series of horizontal plates that come into direct contact with the product to be frozen. This direct contact method ensures faster freezing compared to traditional methods.

The refrigeration system of the quality horizontal plate freezer is optimized for efficiency, with precise thermal controls ensuring an even distribution of cold temperatures across each plate. This results in superior quality of frozen food products. Also, the freezer's layout is designed to maximize space utilization, accommodating various product sizes while maintaining optimal freezing conditions.

The horizontal plate freezer excels at producing optimal freezing results while consuming significantly less energy, leading to evident reductions in monthly operating costs. 

Thanks to the compact structure of the horizontal plate freezer, which doesn't compromise on capacity, businesses can optimize their available space, leading to long-term savings on potential expansion or facility costs.

With fewer fluctuations in the freezing process, there's a marked decrease in product wastage, ensuring that the investment in a quality horizontal plate freezer pays off both in immediate savings and in the longer-term reduction in overheads.

In the design and manufacturing of the horizontal plate freezer, safety isn't an afterthought; it's integral. Every element, from the materials used to the layout and operational controls, is assessed for potential risks. This proactive approach ensures that operators can focus on their tasks without undue concern for potential hazards.

Globally recognized safety standards are meticulously adhered to, ensuring that both operators and products are shielded from harm. The emphasis isn't merely on preventing accidents but on creating an environment where safety and productivity go hand in hand.

Is there any risk of product dehydration in horizontal plate freezers?

Due to its rapid freezing process, there's minimal dehydration, preserving the product's weight and quality.

What types of products are suitable for a horizontal plate freezer?

Fish, seafood, meat, poultry, fruits, vegetables, and ready meals are commonly frozen using this method.

How is a quality horizontal plate freezer different from other freezers?

Quality freezers typically offer uniform temperature distribution, shorter freezing time, energy efficiency, and are built with durable materials for longevity.
