Options Available
Stainless Steel Framework
The Stainless Steel Vertical Plate Freezer option has been designed with hygiene in mind, eliminating product contact with the galvanized steel framework. The frame is 304L grade Stainless Steel box section allowing easy cleaning. All fixings and fittings are Stainless Steel as standard so daily washing and cleaning is not an issue.
Adjustable Front Spacer
The adjustable front spacer option (shown here with a lower drip loss option) features a front spacer between the freezing plates which can be adjusted tight to the lifting arm plastic and help form a tighter fit. Any wear over the years can be accounted for by readjusting the spacers.
The lower drip loss option features an Aluminium bottom part which can form a “frozen seal” for less viscous products.
Extended Cleaning Lift
The extended cleaning lift option allows the lifting arms to rise fully out of the plates in order to facilitate easier cleaning underneath the arms. The bottom of the arms is above the plate for full easy access, whilst plastic guides stop the arms from coming out of their individual pockets.
Plate / Defrost Sensor
The plate / defrost temperature sensor records the plate temperature. It’s main use is to prevent over and under defrosting. A common application is the “lock out” the hydraulics electrically until the sensor reads approx 5°C during defrosting and then allows the freezer to be unloaded.
All temperature sensor options us Thermocouple sensors and come with a 4-20mA signal conditioner for easy wiring.
Product Temperature Sensor
The product temperature option allows for recording and checking product temperatures. Since the top of the block is the last part to freeze, it is designed so you can easily place it in the top of the food you’re freezing.
