Spirals

Complete range of spirals for pasteurization, cooling, refrigeration, cooking and drying for non-packaged and packaged food products.

The packaged product to be thermally-treated is placed on a flexible belt where the product remains motionless. The belt runs a spiral-shaped path where the product is subjected to a series of special water jets, hitting the product from the top and bottom.
A water recovery and circulation system ensure limited water consumption. The belt drive is based on a simple and reliable central drum system, operating with low-tension. Each standard spiral system can be set-up individually to match customer needs, requirements and technical specifications.

The product to be frozen is placed on a flexible belt, either orderly or randomly, where the product remains motionless. The belt runs a spiral-shaped path where the product is subjected to an intense flow of chilled air.

OVERVIEW

 

The belt drive is based on a simple and reliable central drum system and requires low tensioning for correct operation. The dwell time/speed of the belt is regulated with frequency variators.

The horizontal air circulation system combined with evaporators of the flat-fin, decreasing-spacing type, ensures temperature uniformity and low energy consumption.

The whole system is enclosed within an insulated cabin.

The SPIRAFREEZE SFC is available in 6 standard configurations and 4 standard tier pitches.

PRODUCTS: non packaged solid medium- to large-size products, fed in bulk or in an orderly way: vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, oven products, pizzas, etc, non packaged soft medium- to large-size products thanks to optional tangential feeders, packaged products: trays, pouches, cups containing solid, liquid or solid-liquid mixes such as ready-made dishes, ice-creams, etc.

BENEFITS:

 

  • Quick installation, possibility to move the unit easily
  • No possibility of product contamination thanks to the lubrication-free conveyor system
  • High mechanical reliability and stability
  • Reduced belt wear and elongation thanks to the drive system requiring low tensioning
  • No belt flipping thanks to proprietary software for automatic adjustment of belt
  • spirals and drums are made of stainless steel
  • Circulation fans placed in dry zone (without clogging)
  • Long work cycles due to evaporators with large and decreasing fin-spacing. No frost-blowing systems required for most applications
  • Low cost of spare parts and maintenance activities due to high quality components
  • WORKING CAPACITY: from 400 up to 800 KG/h

Mecspray MS-R / Mecspray MS-P

The packaged product to be thermally-treated is orderly placed on a flexible belt where the product remains motionless. The belt runs a spiral-shaped path where the product is subjected to a series of special water jets, hitting the product from the top and bottom. A water recovery and circulation system ensures limited water consumption.

OVERVIEW

 

The belt drive is based on a simple and reliable central drum system, operating with low-tension. The dwell time/speed of the belt is regulated with frequency variators.

The whole system is enclosed within a protection cabin (coolers) or insulated protection cabin (pasteurizers).

Each standard MECSPRAY MS-R and MS-P system can be individually configured to match customer needs and specifications.

Mecspray MS-R / Mecspray MS-P
