China Tunnel Freezers for Food Frozen Processing

Tunnel freezer is widely used for quick-frozen stick, cube or cereal foods such as ice cream, shrimp, shrimp, sliced ​​fish, meat dumplings, meat and chicken

  • FSW1300

  • FST

  • FST1300

The FST FSW1300 industrial tunnel freezer is designed for continuous, high-volume freezing of fish, seafood, poultry, meat portions, dumplings and other prepared foods.

A straight stainless steel mesh belt transports products through a 23.5-meter insulated freezing tunnel. Adjustable conveyor speed provides a freezing time of 10–50 minutes, allowing the equipment to accommodate foods with different sizes, thicknesses and inlet temperatures.

This straight-through food tunnel freezer is suitable for production plants that require stable output, continuous conveying and direct connection with upstream and downstream equipment.

Products are loaded onto a food-grade stainless steel mesh belt and carried through the insulated freezing chamber. Cold air circulates around the food while the conveyor speed determines the residence time inside the tunnel.

Compared with batch freezing, continuous tunnel freezing reduces repeated loading and unloading. The horizontal conveyor layout also simplifies connection with grading, preparation, glazing, weighing, packaging and cold-storage systems.

The final production capacity depends on the actual product dimensions, thickness, weight, inlet temperature and required outlet temperature.

Key Features

1300 kg/h Reference Freezing Capacity

The published configuration provides a nominal capacity of 1,300 kg/h for frozen fish.

This value is based on the stated reference operating conditions. The capacity for chicken, meat, dumplings or packaged food must be evaluated separately.

Factors affecting actual output include:

  • Product type

  • Product dimensions

  • Maximum product thickness

  • Weight per piece

  • Product inlet temperature

  • Required outlet temperature

  • Belt loading density

  • Product spacing

  • Selected conveyor speed

23.5-Meter Straight Freezing Tunnel

The long horizontal tunnel provides an extended freezing path for continuous food processing.

Its straight-through structure allows products to move directly from the preparation area into the freezing section and then toward packaging or storage.

The listed tunnel body dimensions are approximately 23.5 × 3 × 2.5 meters. Additional installation space should be reserved for:

  • Inlet and outlet conveyors

  • Refrigeration piping

  • Electrical cabinets

  • Cleaning access

  • Maintenance areas

  • Downstream equipment

Adjustable Conveyor Speed

A variable-frequency drive provides stepless conveyor-speed adjustment.

The freezing time can be set between 10 and 50 minutes according to the product specification.

Thin fillets, shrimp and pre-cooled foods may use a faster conveyor speed. Whole fish, meat portions and packaged products usually require a longer residence time.

Stainless Steel Mesh Belt

The food-grade stainless steel mesh belt provides continuous product transportation and allows cold air to reach the lower surface of the food.

The belt can be configured according to product size and loading requirements. A working width of up to 2,500 mm may be selected for suitable projects.

Correct product spacing helps maintain airflow and more consistent outlet temperatures.

Multiple Refrigerant Options

The continuous freezing system can be configured for:

  • R404A

  • R507A

  • R717 ammonia

R404A or R507A may be selected for Freon-based refrigeration systems. R717 is suitable for factories equipped with an industrial ammonia refrigeration plant.

The final refrigerant should be confirmed according to local regulations, available utilities and maintenance requirements.

SUS304 Stainless Steel Structure

The main internal structure is manufactured from SUS304 stainless steel.

The tunnel enclosure uses double-sided stainless steel polyurethane insulation panels with a listed thickness of 150 mm.

This construction supports:

  • Regular food-factory sanitation

  • Low-temperature operation

  • Resistance to humid processing conditions

  • Reduced heat transfer

  • Stable internal temperature

Food Applications

FSW1300 industrial tunnel freezer internal stainless steel mesh belt and high-efficiency evaporator system

Fish and Seafood

The reference production capacity is based on frozen fish.

Suitable seafood products may include:

  • Whole fish

  • Fish fillets

  • Fish steaks

  • Shrimp

  • Squid portions

  • Processed seafood

Whole fish and thick portions normally require a longer residence time than thin fillets or small shrimp.

Poultry Products

The food tunnel freezer can process:

  • Chicken breast

  • Chicken wings

  • Chicken nuggets

  • Chicken portions

  • Prepared poultry products

Bone-in and thick poultry products should be evaluated according to their maximum thickness.

Meat Products

Suitable meat applications may include:

  • Meat slices

  • Beef or pork portions

  • Meat patties

  • Meatballs

  • Prepared meat products

Products should normally be arranged in one layer to reduce overlapping and uneven freezing.

Dumplings and Prepared Foods

Control cabinet and conveyor belt entry point of the tunnel freezer system for automated food production lines

Dumplings, buns, stuffed pasta and other formed foods can be transferred from forming equipment to the freezing tunnel.

Soft or moist products should be separated before entering the freezer to reduce sticking.

Packaged Frozen Foods

Trays, bags and cartons may also be transported through the tunnel.

Package dimensions, packaging material and product thickness should be included in the refrigeration and residence-time calculation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the production capacity?

The reference production capacity is 1,300 kg/h for frozen fish. Actual capacity depends on the product type, thickness, inlet temperature and required outlet temperature.

What products can the tunnel freezer process?

It can process fish, shrimp, chicken, meat portions, dumplings, prepared foods and stable packaged frozen products.

Can the freezing time be adjusted?

Yes. The conveyor uses variable-frequency speed control, providing a freezing time of 10–50 minutes.

What refrigerants are available?

The refrigeration system can be configured for R404A, R507A or R717 ammonia.
