对于需要冷冻或冷却的方便食品,消费者的需求正在增加。这是在共同时代从生产到零售环境的新现实。根据市场和市场的报告,他们预计冷冻面包产品市场将从2021年的223亿美元到2026年增长到295亿美元。需求不断增长,正在压力制造环境和螺旋冷冻制造商提供创新的技术,以支持冰冻和令人寒冷的生产需求。
螺旋传送带和相关的冷冻系统不仅必须对更高的吞吐量做出反应,而且还必须响应更高的质量。They must match regulated speed and integration with the entire conveyor line and individual production processes to freezing technologies and conveyance that maintains quality.
传送带系统必须适应更广泛的宽度,以使产品更高间距,同时在高度调节的过程正时连接处最大化吞吐量。输送机系统的所有部分都必须防止产品损坏,并为未包装的产品便利阶段提供易于清洁。这需要新的输送机设计,这些设计可以集成不锈钢或模块化塑料链单元以满足需求。
为什么螺旋冰柜和输送机需要精确集成
冷却器和冷冻机的工程空气流必须迅速降低烘焙产品的温度,以避免质量问题,同时延长最终的保质期。在生产环境中,空间也可能是一个问题,因此螺旋冻结制造商必须找到尺寸降低和最大吞吐量的平衡。冰柜和压缩机单元设计对
different freezers and chillers for different food products.
螺旋冰柜及其集成的输送机系统在冷冻食品制造中起着核心作用。While manufacturer engineer them for maximum uptime and throughput, these systems must also deliver a product of consistent quality and texture through consistent temperature.
螺旋冰柜提供机械或低温制冷方法和高速空气,以维持整个产品的所需温度。但同样重要的是冻结螺旋传送带在一个制造世界中,食品传送带角色正在改变。这提供了通过属性移动产品的关键过程,例如自堆叠,可变速度和多端口皮带配置。这些元素的精确集成可以使高质量的成品速度降至最低,同时最大程度地减少了所需的植物制冷空间。
Engineering for Quality, Minimizing Energy Costs
Airflow configurations of the spiral freezer may vary from a horizontal cross flow to a vertical downflow. This can depend on many design and outcome parameters, along with specific product needs. Things like faster freezing time product dehydration reduction and waste minimization all play a part in temperature, airflow, and spiral conveyor designs for ideal quality.
能源使用是食品制造商的主要成本参数,需要一致的产品温度来冷冻或冷冻。他们必须在生产周期中维持冷冻食品的质量,以确保对消费市场的最高质量切换。
螺旋冻结制造商可以提供可提供精确控制精度和系统功能集成的系统,可以使控制温度一致性变得更容易。这种需求在食品制造商过程,产品类型和吞吐量需求之间会有所不同,因此系统必须提供高度可变的监视和控制系统。
整体螺旋冷冻系统设计的好处
满足特定的食品制造和工厂需求需要系统制造商具有提供可变设计的功能。定制和标准化系统的这种组合将包括:
- 压缩机冷凝器软件包
- 可编程逻辑控制器
- Human-machine interface (HMI)
- Large and small drum drive systems
- 塑料或金属输送机设计
The goal is to choose a spiral freeze manufacturer that works in partnership with each plant to develop a system for their specific needs。By creating a holistic system based on plant and product needs, it’s possible to save as much as 50 percent in energy costs over systems without this level of integration. Variability in operation, management, and control is just as important in that holistic design as mechanical and physical design parameters. They should all work together to:
- 允许可调节的温度,空气速度和传送带速度
- 满足传送带和植物工艺生产需求,烘烤,冷却和/或冷冻是同一连续过程的一部分
- Provide accurate data of operating parameters and changes in motor operation, temperature, and speed via sensors
- 提供优化的设计,以便于清洁以消除污染,同时最大化冰箱正常运行时间和性能
COVID continues to have a profound impact on markets, production, and consumer needs. The growth of packaged meals and frozen foods are two areas of food manufacturing that have forever changed. It’s not hyperbole to say that the changing pandemic has changed freezing/ chilling production and conveyor handling needs forever. Plants must seek versatile spiral freeze systems to adjust to changing costs, production, product, and quality needs today and tomorrow.
