UK freezers designed for Thai poultry firm

30-Jan-2012

Starfrost has supplied five spiral freezers to a leading chicken processor in Thailand.

Based near Bangkok, Golden Foods Siam (GFS) makes raw processed meat and cooked added value ranges for global retail and foodservice clients.

In 2011 the firm expanded its cooked division and needed an efficient freezing system.

Starfrost's UK team custom made five in-line Helix spiral freezers. Each one can process up to 2,000kg/h and has a 660mm- wide belt with 32 tiers spiralling upwards around a rotating drum.

Each GFS Helix spiral features a pumped pressure clean-in-place) automated sanitising system with local operator panel, ensuring optimum hygiene levels.

The five freezers are served by a multi-compressor refrigeration plant operating on natural ammonia to optimise efficiency, with zero environmental impact in terms of ozone depletion and global warming.

Its air circulation system freezes without excessive air speeds that can damage delicate products.
