Vertical plate freezers provide rapid freezing for meat, meat cuts, blood, seafood, chicken, vegetables, fruit, juice, pulp, ready-made meals and ice cream products.
Freezing capacities within these systems can be custom designed depending on individual requirements but are generally suited for operations with a lower throughput than those requiring horizontal plate freezers.
Milmeq partners with DSI, a Denmark based company, to deliver robust vertical plate freezing technologies to customers based in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, including fishing vessels in surrounding waters.
The DSI Plate Freezers are suited to both land and marine installations. The freezers can run on carbon dioxide (CO2) refrigeration providing shorter freezing times whilst maintaining the freshness and quality of the product.
Quick contact freezing of food products in vertical plate freezers delivers a number of advantages including maintenance of product freshness, low power consumption, use of environmentally friendly refrigerants and low initial costs.
Designs are refined for ergonomic operation and easy cleaning and maintenance. Manual and automatic options for the loading / unloading sequence are available, enabling processors to reduce the amount of manual handling in the process flow.
