High Quality
Why use a horizontal plate freezer?
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.
Optimize production
Advantages of horizontal plate freezing
There are several advantages of using a horizontal plate freezer as part of your food processing line.
In the following we have listed some of the most important advantages of this freezing solution such as rapid freezing of food products, high performance, and a durable design.
1.
Rapid freezing
The horizontal plate freezer enables rapid freezing of food products through its direct double contact method of freezing. The method saves a significant amount of energy and reduces freezing time compared to traditional air blast freezers.
2.
High performance
Horizontal plate freezers are significant in the fishing industry, where floor space is at a premium. The rapid dual contact freezing action is essential to avoid discoloration, enzymatic and cellular breakdown in the food products.
3.
Durable design
With a complete frame and cylinder in stainless steel, the plate freezers are designed for a long life in harsh environments. The design allows easy cleaning of the entire machinery.
An alternative plate freezing solution is our vertical plate freezer which freezes food products into vertical blocks without unnecessary packaging.
Satisfied customer
Fast and efficient freezing
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.

Options for horizontal plate freezers
Customize your freezing solution
It is always possible for you to customize your Carsoe freezing solution.
We offer several options for you to choose from such as cabinets with curtains or doors, high pressure execution, marine locks, and electric control.
Cabinet with curtains
An 80mm CFC free PIR insulated cabinet with a white food safe finish. The cabinet is complete with curtains front and back for easy access to the freezer.
The curtains are available as “pull down” manual curtains which lock in place or as a fully electric operation.
Cabinet with doors
An 80mm CFC free PIR insulated cabinet complete with 80mm insulated double doors. The design ensures easy access with doors in the front and in the back. The cabinet is complete with locks and heater tape for a reliable operation.
All our cabinets are finished with a beautiful anodized aluminium fascia supporting the doors or curtains.
Uniform blocks
High-pressure execution option
The high-pressure execution option is a popular choice for fish fingers producers and for other types of food processing that requires the most uniform blocks available. The high-pressure execution is available in 0.5kg/cm2 and higher plate pressures.
Withstand high seas
Sea rails and marine locks
Marine locks or sea rails – these go by many names but are considered essential for marine going freezers. They stop the frozen blocks from loosening from the plates in rough weather whilst the freezer is in its open position.
Automation option
Solenoid and electric controls
This option allows higher levels of automation and operation from both sides of the freezer via two optional control panels. This option is available in both 220V AC and 24V DC configurations, either as a solenoid and control block, or complete with optional control panel.
In case you are looking for a fully automated solution the automatic horizontal plate freezer may be the right choice.
Furthermore, you can combine your horizontal plate freezer with an IQF freezer to allow your processing line to both block freeze and individually freeze your catch.
