Starfrost - Award winning freezers and chillers

Starlite IQF In-Line Tunnel

   
Starlite IQF In-Line Tunnel
Developed from our Worldwide acclaimed Starfrost series "5" IQF Freezer, the Starlite range combines the ultimate in compactness with a fully accessible stainless steel design maintaining a freezer environment to the highest possible hygienic standard.
The Turbo IQF freezing system enables you to Individually Quick Freeze large quantities of particulate products such as peas, beans, fruits and french fries, but is particularly suitable for freezing difficult products such as boiled rice, cooked minced meat, Pizza Topping and diced peaches.

An exclusive vibratory infeed design ensures product is evenly fed onto the first conveyor belt directly into the refrigerated air stream where effective crust freezing is achieved. Product is transferred from the initial conditioning belt to the second belt to achieve full and final freezing of the product. Full fluidisation is maintained at maximum levels for the full operational period by utilising efficient variable speed centrifugal fans, patented Star-D-Belt and air bypass arrangement to allow full air flow through the evaporator and correct air flow through the product.

Performance
The Starlite will freeze product previously considered only suitable for cryogenic freezing. The use of the Star-D-Belt to filter the air leaving the product enables air flows of sufficient velocities to fluidise even small products such as cooked minced meat and yet retain the fines within the freezer and without the evaporator becoming contaminated.
