Fluidor
The Fluidor Thawing Tunnel is engineered to pre-thaw the outer shell of deep-frozen products in 200 L drums—such as fruit juices, pulps, and purees—enabling smooth and safe tipping into downstream systems like the Drum Dumper Ice Crusher. Using steam-heated, high-velocity air precisely directed over each drum, only the top 2–3 cm of product is thawed, preserving overall quality. Drums are transported in pairs via frequency-driven shuttles and chain tracks, with adjustable air temperature and dwell time allowing batch-specific flexibility. Modular in design, the tunnel scales to match DPRICS and CIM system capacities.
Key Features
- Compliant with CE, EN1672-2, HACCP, and GMP standards (when paired with Fluidor systems)
- Modular AISI 304 stainless-steel construction with dual chain-driven tracks
- Steam/air heat exchanger with adjustable air temps up to 90 °C
- Frequency-controlled air circulation for uniform heat distribution
- Pre-thaws only the product surface (2–3 cm) to retain internal freezing and product integrity
- Batch-specific temperature and dwell time control per tunnel or drum
- HMI-based control with remote access capability (Siemens or Allen Bradley)
- Optional electric heating version available
- Designed for 12h/day, 5 days/week operation with 20-year service life
