UV-Sterilizing Hydraulic Plate Freezer Ham Slice Freezing

The Low-Temp Ham Slice Hydraulic Plate Freezer from WUYE Machinery is engineered for freezing low-temperature meat products such as ham slices and bacon slices. Produced by Shaoxing Jiesheng Food Machine Technology Co., Ltd., this equipment combines hydraulic contact plate freezing with UV sterilization function to support safe, high-quality freezing for meat processing facilities. It delivers efficient cold transfer to lock in meat juice and texture, meeting the production requirements of commercial low-temperature meat product lines.

Working Principle of Low-Temp Ham Slice Hydraulic Plate Freezer

Contact-Type Rapid Freezing System

This freezer adopts direct contact freezing technology driven by a hydraulic lifting system. The metal freezing plates make full surface contact with meat slices, transferring cold energy directly without air medium loss. This efficient heat exchange speeds up the freezing process, reducing the formation of large ice crystals inside meat products. As a result, the juice loss rate of beef after thawing stays below 0.8%, preserving the tender taste of meat products.

Hygienic UV Sterilization Design

The equipment is integrated with UV sterilization components, which inhibit microbial growth inside the freezing chamber during operation. This design adds an extra layer of hygiene control for low-temperature meat products that are often consumed after simple heating or direct opening. It aligns with the food safety requirements of ready-to-eat meat product processing, reducing microbial contamination risks during production.

Technical Specifications of Ham Slice Hydraulic Plate Freezer

Core Features for Commercial Meat Processing

Juice & Tenderness Retention

The direct contact cooling structure ensures fast and uniform temperature drop across meat slices. With a beef juice loss rate below 0.8% after thawing, the freezer preserves the natural tenderness and flavor of meat products. This performance helps maintain consistent product quality for ready-to-eat meat slices and frozen steak products, supporting stable product standards for business buyers.

Anti-Adhesion Plate Surface

The freezing plates feature an atomized surface treatment, so frozen meat slices fall off directly from the plate surface without manual separation. This design eliminates the labor cost of manual peeling, reduces product breakage caused by forced separation, and improves the integrity rate of frozen meat slices. It also shortens the unloading time of each batch, improving overall production efficiency for meat processing lines.

Adjustable Plate Spacing

The spacing between freezing plates is adjustable, making the equipment compatible with meat products of different thicknesses. It works for 1mm thin fatty beef rolls as well as 5mm thick steak slices, covering various product specifications. This flexibility allows food production facilities to handle multiple product lines with one piece of equipment, improving equipment utilization rate.

Sanitary Stainless Steel Construction

The equipment is built with food-grade 304 stainless steel, which meets the hygiene standards of meat processing environments. Its all-in-one structure leaves no sanitary dead angles, facilitating daily cleaning and disinfection. The fully openable door design provides convenient access for loading and unloading, reducing operation difficulty for on-site workers.

Application Scenarios for Low-Temperature Meat Production

This hydraulic plate freezer adapts to multiple low-temperature meat processing workflows. For ready-to-eat ham production lines, it freezes breakfast ham slices and sandwich ham slices, maintaining product shape and hygiene for direct consumption after opening. For bacon processing facilities, it delivers anti-adhesion freezing that keeps slice edges intact, so bacon slices maintain complete shape after frying. It also supports bulk freezing of lunch meat slices for fast food and salad ingredients, enabling convenient long-term storage and stable supply. Besides meat products, the equipment is also applicable to seafood freezing, suitable for food factories with diversified product portfolios. Single-batch capacity ranges from 500kg to 3000kg, with standard 500-1000kg configurations completing a full freezing cycle in approximately 2.5 hours. Custom capacity settings are available to match different production scales.

FAQ About Ham Slice Hydraulic Plate Freezers

What is the power consumption of this low-temp ham slice plate freezer?

Under standard operating conditions, the average power consumption is approximately 5-8 kW/h. The actual value varies with the weight of each meat batch, initial product temperature and target freezing temperature.

How often should this freezing equipment receive maintenance?

Routine maintenance including cleaning and lubrication is recommended every 2-3 months to ensure stable equipment operation. A comprehensive inspection of the refrigeration system is advised semi-annually to detect potential faults early and prolong equipment service life.

Is this freezer compatible with meat products of different thicknesses?

Yes, the equipment has adjustable plate spacing to adapt to meat products of different thicknesses, from 1mm thin meat rolls to 5mm thick steak slices. It supports multi-category meat product production for food processing facilities.
