Optimization of parameters for fluidized freezing of fruits and vegetables.

Author(s) : KORDYLEWSKI E.

Summary

The main parameters of the freezing process with fluidized or fixed beds are presented. Two freezers, one with two belts, the other with a single belt, for freezing two tonnes of strawberries per hour, are compared. The operation is more favourable in terms of energy with a single belt conveyor due to simpler construction. A KFT-500 freezer, designed by a group of engineers in Cracow is described in detail. The fan motor operates at variable speed. Results with heavy and light products are presented.
