New bed freezer from Germany

Heinen launched its new product, the freezelite, at the intercool show in Dusseldorf, Germany, last September. The freezelite is a small fluidized bed freezer/cooler with a large capacity. It is especially designed for freezing and cooling bulk-flow products such as shrimp, mussels and other seafood.

In the past, German company Heinen’s main focus was industrial systems with large belt widths and high capacities. However, after the major success of the first compact spiral freezer series, they started developing a compact fluidized bed freezer. Although the freezelite is just the ‘little brother’ of the blizzard (a fluidized bed freezer for capacities ranging up to 15t/h), it still delivers a powerful performance. The f15 freezelite series for 1,500 kg/h and the f25 for 2,500 kg/h (reference product peas) have two performance levels covering a broad range of applications.
