The 24-hour cycle plate freezer is a batch-type freezing solution purpose-built for commercial meat processing facilities, abattoirs, and meat packing plants. It operates with hydraulically driven stainless steel plates that apply consistent, even pressure to meat products during each freezing batch, enabling efficient heat transfer and controlled ice crystal formation to retain meat texture, juiciness, and nutritional content. Suitable for both bulk meat blocks and portioned products, this equipment supports organized batch loading and unloading in post-slaughter processing lines, catering to the high-volume production needs of industrial clients.
Designed for round-the-clock industrial production, this cycle plate freezer delivers a processing capacity of 500–2,000 kg per batch, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,200 hours. Its batch-type operation supports organized loading and unloading cycles, improves production scheduling flexibility, and helps facilities maintain stable daily output without relying on continuous freezing processes.
The freezer is equipped with adjustable hydraulic plates that operate at 0.05–0.1 MPa, ensuring full contact with product surfaces during each freezing batch. Compared to traditional air-blast freezers, it reduces freezing time by 30%. This accelerated freezing process minimizes ice crystal formation, causes less damage to muscle fiber structure, reduces product drip loss during thawing, and lowers the risk of microbial growth during storage.
The machine uses welded 304-grade food-grade stainless steel plates, paired with sloped drainage channels that prevent liquid pooling and bacterial accumulation. The smooth, non-porous stainless steel surfaces support efficient cleaning and sanitation routines. This sanitary design aligns with HACCP and USDA FSIS hygiene standards, fulfilling regulatory requirements for meat processing operations across global markets.
An integrated heat recovery system captures waste heat generated during the refrigeration cycle, cutting overall energy consumption by 15%. For facilities with ongoing space heating or water heating demands, this recovered heat displaces auxiliary energy use, delivering measurable reductions in monthly utility costs over the equipment’s service life and supporting sustainable production practices for commercial users.

Bulk Meat Block Freezing for Abattoirs & Packing Plants
This plate freezer is optimized for bulk freezing of large meat blocks, including beef cuts, poultry carcasses, and pork loins. It serves as core processing equipment for abattoirs and large-scale meat packing facilities, supporting standardized post-slaughter freezing workflows. Product size, block weight, and loading configuration can be customized according to specific processing requirements. Its consistent pressure application ensures uniform freezing across entire meat blocks, eliminating temperature variations that affect long-term storage stability.
Portioned & Specialty Meat Product Freezing
With customizable plate spacing and chamber configuration, the equipment accommodates portioned products such as steak packs, marinated meats, and processed meat items. An optional food-grade Teflon plate coating is available for sticky marinated products, preventing adhesion during the freezing cycle and reducing product damage during unloading. This flexibility allows operators to use one unit for multiple customized product lines, reducing capital investment for diversified operations.
Cold Chain & Distribution Center Bulk Processing
The freezer features a compact footprint and forklift-accessible base rails, with overall dimensions and installation layout customizable to fit existing cold chain distribution centers without extensive facility modification. It supports rapid bulk freezing of incoming meat products to lock in quality immediately upon receipt, extending shelf life and reducing spoilage losses during long-haul transit and warehouse storage.
The hydraulic plate freezing equipment can bring meat blocks to a core temperature of -25°C within a standard 4-hour freezing cycle, with temperature uniformity of ±1°C across all plates to ensure consistent freezing results across production batches. Freezing time, product thickness, and target core temperature can be customized according to specific processing requirements.
The freezer complies with CE PED 2014/68/EU pressure equipment standards, along with HACCP and USDA FSIS hygiene requirements. It meets regulatory standards for commercial operation in the EU, North America, and other global markets.
Yes, full customization is available for plate configuration, equipment dimensions, voltage, and optional features including vacuum chambers and Teflon coating, to support seamless integration into existing post-slaughter processing setups.
Designed to align with global meat processing safety and operational standards, this cycle plate freezer delivers consistent, efficient freezing performance for a range of commercial production setups. Its measurable performance metrics and compliance credentials support informed procurement decisions for enterprise customers evaluating bulk freezing solutions.
