What is Air Blast Freezer and How to Choose?

An air blast freezer is an innovative refrigeration device designed for swift and efficient freezing or chilling of products. Also known as an air blast chiller or chiller freezer, this appliance utilizes a high-velocity blast of cold air to rapidly lower the temperature of its contents, ensuring quick and uniform freezing. The key advantage lies in its precise temperature control, playing a crucial role in preserving the quality and freshness of various items, particularly in the food industry.

The blast freezer temperature is a critical factor in its functionality, and the unit's ability to reach and maintain specific low temperatures distinguishes it from conventional freezers. These freezers are widely used in various industries, including food preservation, to extend the shelf life of perishable items.

Whether you're looking for a chiller freezer supplier or a chiller freezer manufacturer, it's important to consider options that not only meet efficiency requirements but also prioritize sustainability. The development and production of these freezers often take place in a specialized blast freezer factory, where a focus on advanced features and eco-friendly practices ensures a user-friendly and environmentally conscious freezing experience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Air Blast Freezers and Chillers

1. How much does an Air Blast Freezer cost?

The SPEEDCRYO® Air Blast Freezer, with a temperature range of -30℃ to -40℃, is priced between USD 3000 and USD 20000. The minimum cost for a small single-door commercial air blast freezer is around USD 3000, while the large industrial air blast freezers range from USD 10000 to USD 20000. The pricing for industrial-grade customized air blast freezers depends on the specific customization requirements.

2. Are we a manufacturer of air blast freezer?

We are a refrigeration equipment manufacturer that produces air blast freezers, liquid nitrogen freezers, IQF freezers, and more. SPEEDCRYO was founded in 2014 and has nearly 10 years of experience in research, design, production, sales, and export. Our manufacturing facility covers 35,000 square meters and we offer comprehensive cold chain equipment and solutions. SPEEDCRYO owns 103 cold chain technology patents (as of the end of 2022) and exports half of its products to more than 20 countries worldwide.

3. What is the principle of an air blast freezer?

An air blast freezer is a freezer that uses cold air to quickly freeze food products. It operates by circulating cold air over the food surface, which reduces the food temperature rapidly and prevents large ice crystals from forming. This helps to maintain the quality, freshness, and safety of the food.

4. What is the temperature range of an air blast freezer?

The air blast freezer can work at a temperature range of -30°C to -40°C. This means it can freeze your food products very fast and efficiently. It also has an automatic refrigeration constant temperature monitoring system to ensure stable and consistent freezing performance.

5. What is the difference between cryogenic freezer and air blast freezer?

What sets apart cryogenic freezers from air blast freezers in the context of food processing? Let's delve into the distinctions:

• Freezing Duration: The crucial factor here is the time required to reduce the product's core temperature to a specific sub-zero level. Cryogenic freezers, utilizing liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide, excel in rapid freezing, resulting in significantly shorter freezing durations compared to air blast freezers.
• Freezing Techniques: Air blast freezers rely on still or forced air as the cooling medium, with products stationed within freezing rooms. Still air freezing, a basic method with a lower initial cost, is ideal for larger or unprocessed items but tends to have lengthier freezing periods. On the other hand, forced air freezers, an upgraded version of cold storage, use convection to circulate cold air within the freezing chamber. Nonetheless, they too lead to prolonged freezing times due to suboptimal airflow control, causing reduced surface heat transfer.
• Product Quality: Cryogenic freezers shine in preserving product quality, minimizing dehydration, and maintaining the product's texture, color, and flavor.
• Cost Considerations: Generally, cryogenic freezers come with a higher price tag compared to air blast freezers due to their dependence on liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide.

If you need faster freezing rates or have stringent quality standards for frozen products, you can explore our liquid nitrogen freezing solution by clicking here, which operates at temperatures as low as -120°C.

6. What advantages do air blast freezers offer in comparison to liquid nitrogen freezers?

• Economical Advantage: Air blast freezers are typically more cost-effective than their liquid nitrogen counterparts, owing to their utilization of air as the primary medium.
• Versatility: Air blast freezers exhibit the capability to accommodate a wide range of irregularly shaped products and varying sizes, making them the preferred choice for freezing large or unprocessed items.
• Consistent Performance: Air, being a low-viscosity fluid, easily conforms to irregular surface geometries, ensuring a uniform freezing rate across the entire product.
• Maintenance: Air blast freezers demand less maintenance than liquid nitrogen freezers, which necessitate regular refills of liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide.

7. What is the warranty duration for the air blast freezers?

We offer a 12-month warranty, commencing from the date of user receipt. Within this warranty period, any equipment damage stemming from quality-related issues is covered, with replacement part costs included.

8. How does an air blast freezer handle defrosting?

SPEEDCRYO® Air Blast Freezers incorporate an automated defrosting program that ensures efficiency and convenience, eliminating the need for manual intervention. Here's the process:

• The equipment initiates an automatic defrosting cycle every four hours, during which the compressor ceases operation.
• Equipped with temperature sensors, the evaporator continually monitors the temperature. If the sensor detects a temperature lower than the "evaporator frost temperature," it triggers the defrosting cycle, irrespective of the four-hour interval, guaranteeing efficient equipment operation.
• Throughout the defrosting cycle, the temperature sensor maintains continuous oversight of the evaporator's temperature. When the temperature rises above the "evaporator frost temperature," the defrosting cycle automatically halts, and the compressor resumes its operation.
• This entire procedure is entirely automated, obviating the need for manual intervention and ensuring optimal product freezing.
