Tetra Pak Continuous Freezer KF80

Application:

Freezing, mixing and whipping of ice cream mix and air to produce ice cream, for recipe test production. The Tetra Pak® Continuous Freezer KF80 is a small scale version of the larger Tetra Pak Continuous Freezers and is therefore capable of producing small quantities of ice cream with a fast start-up and a minimum loss of ice cream mix. Highlights: – Robust design – Uniform product quality – 20-100 litres of ice cream per hour – Increased flexibility – Can handle a wider product range – Low product loss – User-friendly – Application Working principle: The ice cream mix is metered into the freezing cylinder by a gear pump. A constant air flow is fed into the cylinder together with the mix. During the passage through the cylinder the air is whipped into the mix by a dasher. Liquid refrigerant evaporating in the cooling jacket surrounding the cylinder supplies the freezing.

Stainless steel blades scrape the frozen ice cream from the inside wall of the cylinder, and a second gear pump forwards the ice cream from the outlet end of the freezing cylinder in order to control the cylinder pressure.
