Zusammenfassung: | A freezer for individually quick freezing foodstuffs such as shrimps, diced chicken and peas, comprises a cooling tunnel (2) for precooling the foodstuff, and a freezing tunnel (3) for freezing the precooled foodstuff. The precooled foodstuff enters the freezing tunnel (3) through a hopper (12) and falls into a bath of liquid nitrogen. A rotating ribbon auguer (20) lifts the foodstuff out of the liquid nitrogen and carries it through an equalization section where it remains in contact with cold nitrogen vapour. The frozen foodstuff leaves the freezing tunnel (3) through outlet (14). The ribbon auger (20) is designed to remove the foodstuff rapidly out of the liquid nitrogen and carry it slowly through the remainder of the freezing tunnel (3) - the equalization section. |
