BoxFreezer

AAT-FREEZING – Innovative, Flexible and Powerful

Our BoxFreezers are full of innovations. Their designs are thought through in every detail: saving space and achieving excellent adaptability.

Transverse Air Stream

The air coolers are arranged laterally of the BoxFreezer so the airstream blows directly into the product stack. The freezing air reaches the product faster and shortens the freezing time. The total air distance is shorter than in other systems, because the air only has to cross the width of the plant. That means if the plant is 30 metres long and 6 metres wide, the system only has to chill 6 metres. This results is an improvement within the temperature curve and more uniform freezing of the products.

AAT-FREEZING – Optimal Refrigeration Quality for Your Products

The BoxFreezer is designed to ensure gentle handling of the packaging at the same time as maximum freezing performance.

AAT-FREEZING – Assures Your Product Quality

Meat products are very sensitive and must be handled accordingly. With our BoxFreezer, the products are frozen as quickly as possible so that they are optimally preserved. Overall, our advanced freezers contribute to improved product quality.
 

AAT-Freezing BoxFreezer Description

AAT-FREEZING – Designed in Detail

Up to three freezing zones are available for products that need different refrigeration processes. This is just one of the innovations in our BoxFreezers.

  1. Presorting:
    Here, the incoming products are presorted.
     
  2. Air locks:
    Thanks to the flexible design, the loading and unloading airlocks can be positioned at any point in the refrigeration cycle. It is also possible to install two loading and two unloading airlocks. To avoid ice formation in our systems, we use Munters air dehumidifiers.
     
  3. Insulation:
    The BoxFreezer is completely enclosed in insulation to ensure efficient freezing without unnecessary waste of energy.
     
  4. Air coolers:
    The air coolers are mounted laterally relative to the direction of flow. This enables an even cooling along the entire system. In addition, this optimizes the air flow towards the product.
     
  5. Innovative product carriers (Airflow Shelves):
    The Airflow Shelves are designed to allow the air to flow through the sides, above, and below the products. This cools the products faster and more efficiently.
     
  6. Palletizing station:
    Here, the products are sorted for shipping or storage in a refrigerated warehouse.
     
  7. Freezer zones:
    The system can be designed with multiple freezing zones and can therefore be adapted flexible to your needs.
     
  8. Lifting station:
    The lifting system moves the products to the programmed level and ensures optimal filling of the BoxFreezer.

 

Optional quality control

Sorted Products:

  • Damaged package
  • EAN code unreadable

The BoxFreezer delivers an optimal freezing curve and gentle handling of the packaging. The rapid freezing means your product spends the shortest possible time in the BoxFreezer.

AAT-FREEZING – BoxFreezer Systems for All Your Needs

Don’t settle for poorly designed systems. We are sure to have the right solution for you.

  • BoxFreezer
    In many variants ‘out of the box’. We are also the place to come for special designs. Our experts will analyze your requirements exactly, so that you get a BoxFreezer that is perfectly configured for the way you need to use it. We put efficiency and cost savings on top of the list. For you this means optimum utilization, product safety and quality.
     
  • Pre-Sorting and Output Station
    We supply the complete pre-sorting system including the conveyor technology and control mechanisms to make sure your product workflow is as good as it can be. The same applies to the output station. We can also supply the subsequent steps such as manual or robotic packaging or transport to a high-bay warehouse. We can supply any special variants of these processes you wish for.

Multitemp – the innovation

Our BoxFreezers can have up to three zones that can be programmed independently. For example, one zone can be used for shock freezing at -20 °C and another zone can be switched off to save energy costs. The multitemp option is an exclusive innovation of our company.

Airflow Shelf BoxFreezer

 

Airflow shelves

The cold air stream flows around the product in a circuit. As a result, the product is cooled quickly and efficiently.

The ingenious design of our Airflow Shelf directs the air ideally and in a controlled manner over the product. Your product is frozen faster and more gently. This saves you time and money. The arrangement of the cooling unit allows a continuous flow of cold air through the open Airflow shelf floors. As a result, the cold air reaches the products faster, which significantly reduces the freezing time. Since the air only has to be distributed across the width of the system, the total distance that the cold air has to cover is shorter than with other systems. Consequently, the temperature curve is optimized, ensuring uniform freezing of the products.

Cold airflow
  • Air flow speed of 4-6 m/s
  • Temperature down to -42°C
AAT-FREEZING Munters dehumidifiers

 

Munters dehumidifiers

To avoid ice formation in our systems, we use Munters dehumidifiers. This ensures that there is no ingress of moisture into the BoxFreezer from the surrounding areas (slaughter or production rooms, etc.) and the products. This process is adapted to match individual conditions and ensure optimal freezing of the products.

AAT-FREEZING – Optimal Refrigeration Quality for Your Products

Best Possible Freezing Quality

A key aspect of our BoxFreezer is the outstanding freezing quality. The BoxFreezer delivers an optimal freezing curve and gentle handling of the packaging. The rapid freezing means your product spends the shortest possible time inside the BoxFreezer. The color and surface of your products are less affected, and their appearance remains more appealing.

Zahl Prozesschritt 1
Presorting

Conveyor system and product sorting. Identification using the EAN code or RFID chip to ensure that only the same products are loaded together.

Zahl Prozesschritt 2
Input station

Before the freezing process is started, the presorted products are loaded onto the pallets of the BoxFreezer via a friction-free loading and unloading conveyor.

Zahl Prozesschritt 3
Transport

into the corresponding freezing zone. The product carriers (Airflow Shelves) are transported via the lifting system to the pre-programmed freezing zone. At the same time an Airflow shelf is unloaded from the freezing cycle and transported to the output station.

Zahl Prozesschritt 4
Palletizing station

The product groups called up by the customer are now transported from the BoxFreezer to the palletizing station and then prepared for shipping or storage.

In my point of view the BoxFreezer of AAT-FREEZING combines the most important basic principles of such a system, namely: The opportunity to drive at the same time different freezing times, the product is not moved by the BoxFreezer, but it is protected in the pallets, energy-saving fans through a split airflow, low maintenance, due to less moving parts in the BoxFreezer. These principles were very well developed and implemented by AAT. Additionally, necessary conveyor systems such as sorting and palletizing areas can be delivered perfectly. For this reason, a complete transport concept can be delivered by AAT. If the product packaging allows a good heat transfer, the BoxFreezer guarantees optimum freezing times. Based on my experience I can therefore highly recommend the BoxFreezer of AAT-FREEZING.
