  • FAQ's
What are freezer spacers?

Freezer spacers, also known as freezer dividers or plastic slats, are handy accessories that are designed to enhance the effectiveness of cold storage in freezers. They are versatile devices that you can place in between frozen products, thereby ensuring that they cool evenly and rapidly. These spacers come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, including plastic, stainless steel, and aluminum.

How do freezer spacers work?

Freezer spacers are designed to optimize the efficiency of the freezing process by facilitating maximum air flow around stacked products. These innovative devices physically elevate stacked boxes or containers to create a gap between each level, allowing the high velocity air stream to circulate and flow freely, creating a cooling effect that results in rapid and efficient freezing.

 

The science behind the use of freezer spacers lies in the proven principle that increased surface area exposure leads to faster cooling. When products are stacked without any support, air flow is impeded and this creates an insulating effect that inhibits rapid cooling. Conversely, inserting freezer spacers between the boxes enhances the flow of air and ensures that each area of the product is exposed to the cold air stream, leading to a more efficient freezing process.

 

Furthermore, freezer spacers are designed to be sturdy and durable, allowing them to withstand extreme cold temperatures, impact, and weight. They are made from food-safe materials that do not contaminate the products they support, ensuring optimal hygiene during the storage and transportation of frozen products.

What factors influence freezing time?

First and foremost, the temperature of the freezer plays a crucial role. A lower temperature will inevitably freeze the product faster, however, it’s important to note that going too low can potentially damage the product.

 

Another factor to consider is the product’s size and shape. Larger products take longer to freeze as they contain more mass and require more time to evenly distribute the freezing process. Changing the product’s shape to a flatter or thinner form can help speed up the freezing process.

 

But what about the spacer design we mentioned earlier? Well, as previously stated, a spacer with a high and open profile design can significantly improve air-exchange and reduce freezing time. As air is allowed to circulate evenly within the freezer, the product is able to freeze more efficiently and in a shorter amount of time.

Lastly, the type of product being frozen is an important factor. Products with a high water content, such as fruits and vegetables, freeze faster than products with a low water content, such as meat. This is due to the fact that water freezes at a faster rate than other components in the product.

What to know when freezing meat?

When it comes to preserving meat, freezing is a popular and widely-used method. But have you ever stopped to consider the science behind the process? Understanding the nuances of freezing meat can help you achieve better results and avoid the pitfalls that can lead to subpar meat quality.

 

First and foremost, it’s important to recognize that meat is primarily composed of water. In fact, up to 75% of its content may consist of this vital liquid. During the freezing process, this water is converted into ice crystals. However, the speed at which this occurs can significantly impact the final product. The longer it takes for the meat to freeze, the larger the ice crystals that form. These larger crystals can then merge together, disrupting the structure of the meat cells themselves.

Why is this a problem? Well, among other things, it interferes with the meat’s ability to hold onto water. This leads to what is commonly referred to as “drip loss,” where water seeps and drips out of the meat during the defrosting process. No one wants a soggy, water-logged piece of meat on their plate!

 

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to minimize this risk. One key factor is ensuring that the freezing process is as fast and controlled as possible. This not only reduces the risk of ice crystals merging, but it also reduces energy consumption and can lead to a smoother, more efficient defrosting process.

When air gets trapped between individual pallets, it can cause significant problems such as temperature gradients, product dehydration, and inconsistencies in the freezing process. These issues can result in poor quality products that do not meet industry standards, which can ultimately lead to financial loss.

 

To avoid such complications, it is essential to arrange pallets in a way that forces the airstream to pass through them. This can be achieved by placing the pallets in close proximity to each other, leaving little to no space in-between. This will ensure that the cool air flows through each pallet, resulting in a more even and consistent temperature distribution throughout the chamber.

What is blast freezing?

Blast freezing, also known as shock freezing, is a highly effective method of preserving food products in the industrial food processing industry. Originating in the early 1920s, this technique was developed by the American inventor Clarence Birdseye, who recognized the benefits of freezing food at extremely low temperatures to extend its shelf life and preserve its quality.

The process involves exposing food products to a controlled airflow with temperatures that can drop as low as -40º Celsius. The products are placed in a blast freezing chamber, where a series of fans and cooling devices circulate the frigid air, rapidly reducing the temperature of the food. This rapid drop in temperature is essential for minimizing the formation of ice crystals, which can damage the structure and texture of the food.

What are the benefits of blast freezing?

One of the primary benefits of blast freezing is that it allows food processors to lock in the nutritional value, flavor, and texture of fresh produce, meats, and other perishable products for extended periods. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms, reducing the risk of spoilage and foodborne illnesses.

Furthermore, blast freezing is a highly efficient technique that can handle large volumes of food products with minimal energy consumption, reducing overall costs and improving production processes. It is a crucial step in the industrial food processing chain, ensuring that food products stay fresh, flavorful, and safe for consumption, both in the short and long term.

How to use freezer spacers with a G95 pallet inverter?

Freezer spacers are a crucial component for efficient and safe material handling in cold storage facilities. When used in conjunction with a G95 pallet inverter, they can improve the overall productivity and reduce the risk of product damage during handling and transportation.

To use freezer spacers with a G95 pallet inverter, follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the pallets: Make sure the pallets are evenly loaded and tightly secured to prevent shifting or damage during the inversion process.

2. Place the freezer spacers: Set the freezer spacers on top of the loaded pallets, ensuring that they are evenly spaced and aligned with the load.

3. Invert the pallets: Use the G95 pallet inverter to flip the loaded pallets, with the spacers now acting as a buffer between the products and the bottom of the pallets.

4. Remove the spacers: Once the pallets have been inverted, carefully remove the spacers from the top of the pallets and place them back into storage.

 

By incorporating freezer spacers into your material handling process with a G95 pallet inverter, you can maximize efficiency and minimize the risk of product damage.

Why are freezer spacers made from HDPE?

Freezer spacers are a crucial component in the blast freezing process, serving to separate individual food items and ensure an even distribution of cold air. But why precisely is HDPE the material of choice for these devices?

 

First and foremost, HDPE stands out for its ability to withstand extreme temperatures without sacrificing structural integrity. Whereas other plastics may crack or break under exposure to harsh cold, HDPE retains its shape and functionality. This makes it ideal for a freezer environment, where temperatures can plummet to as low as -40°C or even lower.

 

However, the benefits of HDPE go beyond temperature resistance. This versatile polymer is also form safe, meaning that it is incredibly malleable and can be molded into complex shapes with ease. For freezer spacers, this allows for an optimal design that maximizes the space between food items while minimizing the amount of material needed for each spacer.

Furthermore, HDPE is highly resistant to a range of substances that might come into contact with freezer spacers. This includes chemicals, oils, and acids commonly found in food processing plants. With such resistance in place, HDPE freezer spacers are able to maintain their functional properties over time, even with repeated use.
