Description
The FT34MkII Contact Plate Freezer uses the familiar Armfield vacuum-formed ABS base onto which is mounted a refrigeration unit employing an environmentally friendly refrigerant R404A. One 180mm x 250mm, fixed plate and one height-adjustable freezing plate are positioned adjacent to the refrigeration unit.
A hand-operated lever raises and lowers the adjustable freezing plate into close contact with the product to be frozen, which is placed on the fixed plate.
Bagged, wrapped and boxed products may be quick frozen. Five temperature probes are provided to monitor the product throughout the freezing process.
All controls and instrumentation are housed in the base unit.
Outputs to connect the plate freezer to a PC via the Armfield Data Logging Accessory (FT34-DTA-ALITE) are also provided.
