Tunnel freezer MRT

processcoolingfor food applications

The MILMEQ® Multiple Retention Time (MRT) Tunnel is designed to accommodate varying product types and carton sizes that require different chill or freeze times. It is a completely automatic air blast based system that provides flexibility to apply different pooling regimes for different groups of product. Shelves within the system are allocated different retention times and the interfacing conveyors presort and accumulate product types allowing transfer onto a designated shelf depending on the product retention time. MRT tunnels are used for chilling or freezing and under some circumstances can do both in the same tunnel. The shelves move at different paces and the in-feed and out-feed carton conveyor transfers are typically placed at both ends of the tunnel. The MRT tunnel is suited to food processing operations that have a range of products that each require different conditioning.
