In the global aquaculture processing industry, Thailand, endowed with unique aquatic resources and a mature breeding industrial chain, ranks among the top shrimp-exporting countries worldwide. Its peeled shrimp is exported to mainstream markets such as Europe, America, Japan and China. However, the hot and humid climate, coupled with the shortcomings of traditional cold storage freezing and batch freezing technology, has long restricted the quality upgrading and capacity expansion of local shrimp processing enterprises. To address the pain points of aquaculture freezing, CBFI Ice 泉 Cooling has specially developed the 750kg/h Plate Belt Tunnel Freezer. With professional freezing technology, it solves the problems of shrimp deformation, weight loss, and poor freshness preservation, helping aquaculture processing enterprises seize the high-end international market.
Traditional Freezing Models Fail to Meet High-Quality Export Demand
Shrimp processing enterprises in Thailand used to rely heavily on traditional cold storage and batch-type freezing equipment. These models not only have low freezing efficiency but also have many unavoidable defects: slow freezing speed leads to the formation of large ice crystals in shrimp cells, destroying the muscle structure, resulting in tough texture and water loss after thawing; insufficient flatness of the conveyor belt causes shrimp extrusion deformation and caking, greatly reducing product quality; severe surface weight loss not only causes economic losses but also makes shrimp dull in color, directly lowering export pricing; meanwhile, traditional equipment has high energy consumption and cumbersome operation and maintenance, which cannot meet large-scale continuous production and fail to meet the stringent quality standards of frozen aquatic products in the international market.
For large-scale processing enterprises with a daily processing capacity of 6 tons of shrimp and a hourly capacity of 750kg, it is a rigid demand to ensure freezing efficiency, maintain the core quality of shrimp shape, taste and nutrition, and adapt to limited factory space. A set of professional and customized freezing equipment has become an urgent necessity. This plate belt tunnel freezer is a precise solution developed focusing on the aquaculture freezing scenario, perfectly meeting all the comprehensive needs of shrimp processing.
Core Configuration: Precisely Meeting the Full-Scenario Needs of Shrimp Freezing
Positioned for professional aquatic product freezing, this plate belt tunnel freezer has its core parameters and structural design optimized based on the characteristics of shrimp processing, achieving dual satisfaction of production capacity and quality. The hourly freezing capacity of the equipment is stably 750kg, which can easily meet the daily production capacity target of 6 tons; it adopts food-grade 304 stainless steel plate belt conveyor, which is flat, dense and meets food safety standards. The minimum working temperature in the warehouse can reach -35℃, which can quickly freeze peeled shrimp with an initial temperature of about 15℃ to a central temperature ≤ -18℃, fully complying with international cold chain storage standards.
The equipment has strong adaptability: it adopts a compact modular layout, specially designed for scenarios with limited factory space, with flexible installation and small footprint; the evaporative condensation system is selected, which has higher heat exchange efficiency than traditional air-cooled condensers, is resistant to high temperature and high humidity environments, and operates more stably; equipped with a variable-frequency speed regulation transmission system and PLC + touch screen fully automatic control system, it can flexibly adjust freezing time, temperature, air speed and other parameters, support remote monitoring and fault diagnosis, simplify daily operation and maintenance, and greatly reduce labor costs.
Hard Technical Advantages: Lock Freshness and Guard High Quality of Shrimp
1. Exclusive Plate Belt Design, Preventing Deformation and Caking
Different from ordinary mesh belt freezers, the plate belt conveyor has high flatness and uniform load-bearing. During transportation and freezing, shrimp will not experience vibration subsidence and mutual extrusion, completely retaining the natural shape of peeled shrimp, avoiding problems such as caking, deformation and damage, and making the finished product with neat quality to meet export-grade quality requirements.
2. Ultra-Fast Deep Freezing, Locking Freshness and Nutrition
The -35℃ deep cold environment combined with the high-efficiency air supply system realizes through-type freezing of shrimp in a short time, greatly shortening the freezing time, minimizing the generation of large ice crystals in cells, and fully locking the moisture, freshness and protein nutrition of shrimp. The meat is tight and elastic after thawing, with a taste close to fresh shrimp, completely solving the pain points of poor freezing taste and water loss in traditional processes.
3. Energy Saving and Consumption Reduction, Adapted to Tropical Working Conditions
The evaporative condensation system is specifically adapted to the hot and humid climate in Thailand, with significantly improved heat exchange efficiency, lower energy consumption than traditional equipment, and can greatly reduce electricity costs during long-term operation; the equipment has excellent sealing performance, reducing cold loss and further optimizing energy consumption performance, balancing production capacity and economy.
4. Full Intelligent Automation, Stable and Controllable Production
Full-process PLC intelligent control monitors freezing parameters in real time, ensuring consistent freezing effect of each batch of shrimp, realizing continuous assembly line production, and improving overall processing efficiency; remote monitoring allows operation and maintenance personnel to grasp the operating status of the equipment in real time, troubleshoot quickly, reduce downtime losses, and ensure production continuity.
Implementation Results: Empowering Aquaculture Enterprises to Upgrade International Competitiveness
This plate belt tunnel freezer has been stably put into use in a large seafood processing factory in Thailand. CBFI Ice 泉 Cooling provides full-process technical support from scheme design, on-site installation to commissioning and operation, ensuring rapid production of the equipment. Actual operating data show that the equipment not only successfully completes the hourly freezing capacity target of 750kg, but also the frozen shrimp has intact quality, natural color, no weight loss and caking, and the central temperature accurately meets the standard. It can be directly transferred to the -18℃ cold storage for long-term storage, greatly extending the shelf life and significantly reducing the loss rate.
Customers feedback that this freezing equipment completely solves the quality shortcomings of traditional processes, improves the export competitiveness of shrimp, and the products gain higher recognition in the international market. For both local aquaculture processing enterprises in Thailand and shrimp deep-processing enterprises worldwide, this 750kg/h plate belt tunnel freezer is an ideal cold chain equipment that balances efficiency, quality and energy consumption. It helps aquaculture processing enterprises break through quality bottlenecks and seize high-end market share.
