Flash freezing technology plays an increasingly important role in ensuring food quality and extending shelf life. As a core equipment, the flash freeze machine price has become a key factor that many companies pay attention to when purchasing. So what is the price of flash freeze machine?
1. Types and price differences of flash freeze machine:
Fluidized quick freezer (suitable for vegetables, fruits, and granular foods):
The price range is generally 20,000USD to 100,000USD, depending on the processing capacity and configuration.
Tunnel quick freezer (commonly used for batch processing of pastries, meat, seafood and other foods):
The market price is roughly between 30,000USD and 200,000USD. The greater the output, the higher the price.
Spiral quick freezer (suitable for foods that need to be frozen for a long time, such as chicken nuggets):
Due to the complex structure, the price is relatively high, generally between 50,000USD and 300,000USD.
The price of each type of quick freezer varies greatly due to different manufacturing processes, brands, and levels of automation.
2. The impact of output size on price
The processing capacity of the quick freezer (i.e. the output per unit time) is another key factor affecting its price. Take the tunnel quick freezer as an example:
Small equipment, with an output of 200-500kg/h, usually costs 30,000-80,000USD;
Medium equipment, with an output of 500-1,500kg/h, costs 80,000-150,000USD;
Large equipment, with an output of more than 2,000kg/h, the price may reach more than 200,000USD
3. Different types of materials have different requirements for flash freeze machines
Different foods have different requirements for quick-freezing temperature, wind speed, freezing time and other parameters:
Fruits and vegetables need to ensure that the particles are evenly distributed to avoid adhesion, and usually use a fluidized structure;
Aquatic products and meat require fast freezing speed and prevent cell rupture, so they have higher requirements for freezing efficiency and temperature control accuracy;
Baked products: The product volume and structural integrity need to be considered, and tunnel or spiral quick-freezing machines are usually used.
Different manufacturers also provide customized services, such as automatic cleaning systems, stainless steel material upgrades, intelligent control systems, etc., which will further affect the final quotation.
