FPS - Spiral Immersion System (SIS) for Efficient Food Processing

The Spiral Immersion System (SIS) offers an advanced platform for chilling, freezing, and pasteurizing packaged food products, utilizing twin spiral conveyors submerged in a liquid such as water or brine. This system capitalizes on the concept that conductive heat transfer in a liquid medium is significantly faster than convective air transfer, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing operational costs. The system's architecture, characterized by its SS316 stainless steel enclosure and Intralox self-stacking belts, minimizes space usage while optimizing product throughput. The design ensures minimal friction, leading to reduced maintenance needs and increased machine longevity. With temperature flexibility ranging from as low as -40°F, the SIS can be employed for a variety of food processing applications, maintaining product integrity and quality. It also minimizes bacterial growth through rapid temperature adjustments, enhancing food safety and extending shelf life.
