Hydraulic Plate Freezer
A batch contact freezer for block-shaped, bulky and tray products. The product is pressed between refrigerated plates, so cold travels by direct conduction instead of air — fast, even freezing for fish blocks, boxed seafood and meat blocks.

How it is built
Contact beats air for blocks
Refrigerant circulates inside the plates while the hydraulic system holds even pressure across every plate. Pressure removes the air gaps that slow cooling down, so heat moves from product to plate quickly and uniformly.
Precise, steady clamping
The hydraulic drive delivers stable clamping force and fast thermal conduction while keeping the freezing gentle enough for delicate products where ice-crystal control matters.
Compact and cleanable
The small footprint fits tight corners of a processing hall, and the plate format suits plants — fish and prepared-food processors among them — where thorough cleaning between batches is part of the routine.

Questions
Regular, block-like loads: fish blocks and fillets, shrimp and squid in trays, meat blocks and boxed products — anything that presents a flat face to the plate.
It freezes by conduction through direct plate contact rather than by cold air, so blocks freeze faster and with less surface dehydration; it works in batches rather than continuously.
Plate size and batch load are set against your block or tray dimensions and daily tonnage. Send the product dimensions and target output for a quotation.
