MATTON spiral freezer is a continuous, compact industrial freezing system that employs a helical conveyor belt to transport products vertically around a rotating drum—thereby maximizing production capacity within a minimal floor footprint. Operating at temperatures ranging from –45°C to –50°C, spiral freezers are ideally suited for high-volume Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) processing of meat, poultry, bakery, and dairy products.
Key Features and Benefits
Space-Saving Efficiency: By stacking multiple conveyor tiers vertically, spiral freezers optimize overhead space—making them significantly more space-efficient than linear tunnel freezers, particularly in facilities with constrained floor area.
Optimal Airflow and Product Quality: Horizontal, low-temperature airflow ensures rapid, uniform freezing while minimizing moisture loss—preserving product integrity and delivering consistent IQF quality.
Hygienic Design: Modern spiral freezers feature full stainless-steel construction, self-stacking conveyor belts that inhibit debris accumulation, and integrated Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems—ensuring compliance with stringent food safety standards.
Versatile Operation: Flexible infeed and outfeed configurations support diverse production layouts, and continuous operation for up to 144 hours without defrosting is achievable.
Types of Spiral Freezers
Mechanical: Utilizes mechanical refrigeration to circulate chilled air within a fully insulated enclosure.
Cryogenic: Employs liquid nitrogen (LN₂) or carbon dioxide (CO₂) to achieve ultra-rapid freezing at extremely low temperature.

Insulation Library Body
Main Frame
The main frame of the rotating cage column support, shaft, transmission gear, and chain of the quick-freezing device are all made of SUS304 stainless steel, which meets the food certification requirements of QS, FDA, and so on. The stainless steel guide rail is covered with wear-resistant polymer composite material, which can fully guarantee the minimum friction coefficient between the frame and the stainless steel conveyor belt. All structural parts are fully welded.
All the rollers, drums, and guide rails that rub against the mesh belt are made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene to ensure the wear resistance between them and the stainless steel conveyor belt.
Evaporator
The evaporation tube and fins of the evaporator are all made of rust-proof aluminum alloy. The liquid supply and heat exchange methods are advanced and efficient. The evaporation tube is φ25×m2.2, the fin thickness is 0.4mm, and the high flanging is 10-12mm. Stainless steel outer frame, withstand voltage test ≥24kg/cm2, efficiency is 30% higher than ordinary evaporator.
The evaporator adopts a variable fin pitch design, the fin pitch at the air inlet is 20mm, and the fin pitch at the outlet is 10mm. This variable fin pitch structure ensures uniform and slow frosting on the evaporator, extending the continuity of the quick-freezer operating hours.

Refrigeration System
Optimized Low-Temperature Performance: Specifically selected Bitzer models (e.g., the ECOLINE series or CSH/OS. series) provide exceptional Isentropic Efficiency, ensuring a consistent “Refrigeration Capacity Required” (kW) even at evaporating temperatures as low as -40°C or -45°C.
Capacity Control & Energy Saving: Equipped with CRII mechanical capacity control or External Frequency Inverters (VFD). This allows the system to adjust cooling output based on the actual food load, reducing energy consumption by up to 20%.
Multi-Refrigerant Compatibility: Our Bitzer-powered units are versatile, supporting standard HFCs (R404A, R507) and eco-friendly options such as CO2 (R744) or Ammonia (NH3) for future-proof compliance.
Advanced Protection Systems: Includes integrated SE-B monitoring units for motor temperature, phase sequence, and oil pressure, preventing unexpected mechanical failure.
