Fluidization Technology

  • Gentle product fluidization through a combination of mechanical force and airflow

  • Chain driven eccentric UHMW blocks for mechanically separating products

  • Centrifugal fan impellers to generate uniform pressure zone to fluidize product

  • Customized fluidization process to eliminate product clumping and sticking

  • Two conveyor, cascade arrangement for crust and finish freezing

Plastic and metal belting options are offered to match your production needs. The belting design allows for optimal airflow and precise control over the freezing/chilling process, while ensuring efficient and reliable product transportation that maintains the integrity of the food.

Belting

PLC and HMI systems optimize the tunnel freezer’s performance, reliability, and user experience. PLCs provide automation and precise control of temperature and defrost cycles, while HMIs offer intuitive interfaces for monitoring, adjustments, and real-time information.

Control Panel

Electrical drive technology provides precise control of motor speed, belt movement, and fan operation. By utilizing electric motors, power electronics, and control systems, it enables energy-efficient freezing of individual food products, ensuring uniformity and high quality.

Case Study

AGF IQF TUNNEL DRIVES SIGNIFICANT PRODUCTION INCREASES AND ENSURES CONSISTENT QUALITY FOR RIO FUTURO

“Since implementing the AGF tunnel, we’ve seen a significant increase in our daily capacity. The tunnel is incredibly energy efficient, consuming much less power compared to other options we considered. AGF's after sales service has been excellent. We plan to install additional tunnels as part of our master plan and look forward to working with AGF.”
