Freeze meat products continuously with controlled airflow and deep-freezing conditions

The freezing tunnel systems from SARP are designed for continuous deep-freezing of meat products, including breaded, coated, and prepared items, ensuring stable product quality and efficient integration into processing lines.

Products are transported on conveyor belts through a temperature-controlled tunnel, where cold air is circulated to remove heat rapidly from the product. This controlled freezing process helps maintain product structure, coating adhesion, and overall appearance.

The systems are engineered based on product characteristics, available space, and production flow, allowing customization of airflow, belt configuration, and residence time. This ensures consistent freezing performance across different product types and production setups.

The freezing tunnel can be integrated directly after coating, cooking, or forming processes, minimizing handling steps and reducing the risk of production interruptions. Each system is tested before delivery to ensure reliable operation within continuous industrial environments.

Typical applications include: Breaded meat products, Prepared meat portions, Frozen ready meals,Fish, vegetables, and other food products

Process bakery products with vertical spiral conveyors and controlled airflow

The spiral conveyor systems from SARP are designed for continuous processing of bread, pastries, pizzas, and baked goods, supporting multiple process steps including cooling, freezing, proofing, drying, pasteurization, and sterilization.

Products are transported on specialized conveyor belts arranged in vertical spiral configurations, allowing long residence times within a compact footprint. The spiral is driven by a central tower, leaving space within the structure for integrated air treatment systems, enabling efficient thermal exchange.

The system is designed to achieve high air-to-product contact (close to 100%), ensuring uniform temperature distribution during cooling or freezing. Depending on the application, the system can operate:

• In open-air environments for ambient cooling or drying
• Inside insulated chambers for controlled freezing, proofing, or pasteurization

The conveyors are engineered to handle both packed and unpacked products, with belt designs that prevent sticking, deformation, or surface marking. The system also minimizes lubrication needs, supporting hygienic operation and reducing contamination risks.

To improve line efficiency, the system can function as a buffer or accumulation unit, maintaining product flow when upstream or downstream equipment temporarily stops.

Typical applications include:

• Bread loaves and rolls
• Croissants and pastries
• Pizzas and dough-based products
• Cakes, cookies, and desserts
