Hans Jensen Engineering is launching the new cooling and freezing solution MRT Carton Freezer (Multi Retention Time) at SPG 2015.
The tunnel allows fish manufacturers to simultaneously freeze fish with different freeze times, increasing production capacity and cutting cooling costs.
The carton freezer has been developed in cooperation with an agent in Chile, which has been working in the salmon farming industry for many years.
“The freezer has a capacity of up to 20 tons per hour and enables you to freeze one product for e.g. two hours and another product for five hours. This means that fish manufacturers can make use of all the space available in the tunnel at all times instead of having to stop the production between different products,” explains Olaf Møller, CEO, Hans Jensen Engineering.
“The system is blowing a continuous stream of cold air into the freezer across the products along one side. This reduces the time and the amount of ammonia used to freeze the fish so that the manufacturers can cut costs,” he adds.
Apart from offering cost savings, the cooling and freezing tunnel has a hygienic design in stainless steel with open profiles. These open profiles make the freezer easy to maintain and clean.
“The MRT Carton Freezer is designed to follow with the strict standards of hygiene in the fish processing industry. Furthermore, the open steel profiles are easy to clean and this minimises the duration of production stop,” explains Olaf Møller.
The MRT Carton Freezer can be customised in length, height and number of carriages etc. according to the needs of the individual customer. According to Olaf Møller the tunnel is also ideal for maturing of fillets before pin-bone removal.
