KTR TurboRunner

Blast freezing tunnel (-38°C / -20°C)

 

The TurboRunner is an exclusive KOMA technology. The KOMA Belt Freezer works according to the new KOMA TLR formula. Important in this technology is the continous airflow over the products, which results in the quickest freezing time possible with the lowest energy consumation and lowest dehydration of the product, and thus the product retains its maximum possible quality and taste over a longer period of time.

The Turborruner is a modular system of freezing sections each of 3 meters in length and in line with your production capacity, it can be easily extended – in short, expansion of your company means expansion of your belt freezer, which makes a very good investment. The prefab modular building of the TurboRunner guarantees a relatively cheap and rapid construction on location without special arrangements for the existing floor or building. Future relocations are possible without high costs.

Horizontal belts are more suitable for sensitive products like dough, since they do not damage the product (which can happen in a conventional spiral, when going into curves). In comparison to conventional belt freezers such as Spirals, the “ALL-IN” costs, service and production costs are very low which result in minimal costs per kg of product. The cost per kilogram/product are in comparison with nitrogen or CO2 belt freezers, very low and the investment is earned back quickly (ROI).

The strong air movement, partly horizontal and partly vertical directed onto the product provides an excellent turbulance and cold air deliverance. The air direction varies per section to ensure a homogenous airflow over the products. This homogenous airflow guarantees the very best uniform cooling down of all products. Specifically designed “air locks” are provided at the front and back of he TurboRunner which help to reproduce the interchange of enviromental air.
