IIR document

A procedure for testing batch air-blast carton freezers.

Author(s) : CHADDERTON T., KEMP R. M.

Summary

The use of batch air-blast freezers has increased considerably in New Zealand in the meat industry. In about 40 hours, these systems freeze products in cartons to -12 deg C. Thus, freezing cycles have a two day span. In practice, the freezing time is often longer than 40 hours. The Meat Industry Research Institute of New Zealand (MIRINZ) has tested several freezers under the above-mentioned conditions. The article describes the test procedure and the results from these freezers, as well as the design characteristics and the best operating practices.
