Inside the tunnel cold air currents are generated that freeze food in a very short time generally in a matter of minutes. The use of freezing tunnels is a common practice in the refrigeration industry a growing sector in which it is necessary to quickly reduce the temperature of products to preserve their quality. Characteristics of a freezing tunnel The main characteristics of a freezing tunnel are Continuous transportation. are moved continuously through a series of conveyor belts or trays providing a constant flow of merchandise.





Extremely low temperatures. They are designed to reach very low freezing temperatures generally below C and even much colder in some cases. Cold air flow. Inside the tunnel a refrigeration system is used that circulates cold air at high speed to cool and freeze products evenly. Precise control of speed and time. It is possible to adjust the speed of the conveyor belt and the time that the products remain in the tunnel. This allows the freezing process to be controlled according to the specific requirements of the products. Reduction of the formation of ice crystals. Rapid freezing in a freezing tunnel minimizes the formation of large ice crystals in products that could negatively affect their texture and quality. Freezing tunnels freeze products that are then stored on shelves Freezing tunnels freeze products that are then stored on shelves Types of freezing tunnels Depending on the freezing method used freezing tunnels are classified into two basic categories By forced air. In these tunnels cold air is generated by compressors and distributed through fans. They are suitable for freezing a wide variety of foods such as meat fish fruits vegetables or dairy products among others. Por contacto. En esta.
