Starfrost - Award winning freezers and chillers

Starlite Helix

   
Compact Starlite Helix Spiral System 
Developed from our worldwide acclaimed Starfrost ‘Built on site’ Helix Spiral Freezer, the Starlite range combines the ultimate in compactness with a fully accessible stainless steel design, maintaining a freezer environment to the highest possible hygiene standards. The Starlite model is ‘pre-assembled and tested’ for shipment to site ready to plug into the factory services.

The compact Starlite Helix system is available in belt widths from 300mm to 660mm, and is capable of freezing or cooling commercial quantities of product such as hamburgers, fish fillets, sausages, pastry and baked products. Its well-proven, vertical air flow controlled freezing environment and simplicity of design provide a unique combination of features not previously available in the freezing industry.

Due to the exclusive modular design, infeed and discharge belt positions and evaporator layout can be positioned to meet your exact needs. To meet the strict demands of the food industry in the 21st Century, the Starlite range is manufactured completely from stainless steel. This includes the evaporator tubes, which operate with high efficiency allowing higher refrigeration temperatures. This makes the machine economical on energy therefore reducing the freezing costs per Kg of product.

The fully welded construction technique ensures that the complete freezer is easily sanitised. The optional C.I.P. (Clean in Place) system, will automatically clean the belt support and conveying system.

Tangential Infeed Conveyor
This conveyor forms the infeed arrangement for loading delicate products, such as fish and Hamburgers. The products are placed directly on to the contracted belt, thus avoiding product distortion and ensuring maximum belt coverage. Product is transported on a stainless steel or polyurethane belt into the freezer at the point where the freezer belt is already contracted around the central drum. The tangential drive and freezer drive are electronically linked to ensure the two belt speeds are compatible at all speed selections. The complete conveyor is removable for easy sanitation.
