X-Stream Impingement Freezing Tunnel

• High velocity air jets are directed to the top and bottom of food products
• The jets of turbulent cold air disrupt the boundary layer of the air surrounding the product, speeding up freezing due to more effective heat exchange
• Applying low temperature, high velocity air dramatically increases production efficiency and throughput
• Fast freezing results in smaller ice crystals and reduced dehydration, improving product quality and yield and reducing product ‘drip loss’
• Energy savings from rapid freezing with the latest refrigeration technology

X-Stream is a bespoke design, made to your specifications. We will adapt it to freeze any product and also fit the space you have available.

• Adjustable airflow to suit the product
• High efficiency of heat exchange reduces energy usage
• True alternative to cryogenic freezing
• Optional CO2 Refrigerant, offering the lowest environmental impact and high efficiency
