Food-focussed freezing

Spiral freezer with in - line steaming and self - stacking conveying addresses ready meal and instant food manufactures''requirements ENGINEERING from a freezer design aspect instead of a more complex oven system has given a solution that is significantly less expensive than the conventional "oven-concept" steamers on the market. The Frigoscandia GYRoCOMPACT S6 steamer from JBT FoodTech was the first technology to offer affordability coupled with the hygiene, reliability and performance advantages of a self-stacking conveyor. The self-stacking freezers replaced the refrigeration system with a steam injection system and a modified enclosure that can withstand high temperatures. The development history Frigoscandia GYRoCOMPACT spiral freezers set new standards for performance and cleanability when JBT FoodTech of Helsingborg, Sweden introduced them in 1978. The incorporation of a unique, patented self-stacking belt - the FRIGoBELT conveyor - eliminated the need for a bulky, difficult - to clean support structure. The result was a more compact machine with more efficient airflow control, which reduced freezing time and achieved higher food quality and less weight loss through the formation of smaller ice crystals. Because of its breadth of expertise across the food-processing spectrum, JBT FoodTech has been able to respond to customer needs. The GYRoCOMPACT S6 was initially developed in response to a request from a fresh pasta manufacturer that sought a replacement for an old spiral steamer. By combining the cooking knowledge of the Stein product line and the vast experience producing spiral systems and managing airflow of the Frigoscandia product line, a solution was designed that met the customer''s need for a higherperforming yet affordable in-line steamer. The series was a major milestone for JBT FoodTech. However, as various enhancements and new belt sizes were added to the range, the GYRoCOMPACT family became somewhat differentiated. Spare parts for a newer model were not always compatible with an older machine. Aware that spiral freezer customers were seeking common features and parts across the whole freezer series, JBT FoodTech returned to the drawing board to create a new, unified range of spiral freezers based on the proven system. The result was the new M-series of GYRoCOMPACT spiral freezers, chillers and proofers with enhancements in all areas . Unlike regular spiral steamers, which have trouble controlling steam flow and reaching ideal operation temperatures, the GYRoCOMPACT S6 has a controlled steam environment that provides even product steaming across the belt width. A patented "two-zone cooking" approach offers a mixture of saturated and dry steam that achieves better cooking results than traditional steamers. As the product enters the bottom of the spiral, it encounters saturated steam, which condenses on the product to cook it. The steam enters the belt stack from the top, where it hits a hood, or "top hat," that covers the top tiers of the spiral, creating a zone of dry steam. The product has already been cooked by the saturated steam when it reaches the dry zone, where excess surface water is removed for a higher-quality final product. Ideal for gently cooked food The GYRoCOMPACT S6 steamer is ideal for pasta products and for other foods that are steamed or gently cooked, such as corn on the cob, sausages and poultry fillets. It is also a good option for pasteurization of a wide range of packed products. Unlike products pasteurised using common steaming or water bath methods, foods pasteurized using the GYRoCOMPACT S6 do not require an additional time-consuming drying step in the production line, since the steamer itself dries the product when it passes through the dry steam at the spiral''s top.
