• Function / Application:
    • for quickly cooling down asparagus to a storage temperature of 1°C.
      = The Frigopurmat is particularly suitable for use after the sorting process, as preparation of the asparagus for further storage, e.g. in the cold store
    • Asparagus boxes are transported through the shocker via a conveyor belt.
    • gentle sprinkling with ice water from above
    • Cooling possible via two different systems:
      = The choice of cooling system determines the design/equipment of the flow shocker.
    Basic equipment:

    1. Integrated cooling unit

    • Connection between the cooling unit and the flow shocker is made through copper pipes.
    • Transport of the gaseous refrigerant through the copper coils

    a fixed construction

    • stainless steel verson
    • Ice water basin
    • Heat exchanger made of copper, also functions as an ice storage at the same time
    • 2 x stainless steel circulating pump
    • Conveyor belt made of plastic links, suitable for food use, aligned to desired box size
    • Gear motor for driving the conveyor chain with electronic speed adjustment
    • Drain via sleeve gate valve 3“
    • Control cabinet directly on the flow shocker
    • Sprinkler perforated plate with insulated cover flap

    2. External chiller in 2-substance circuit

    Connection between chiller and flow shocker is via an insulated hose. A water-glycol mixture runs through stainless steel plates / pipes of the flow shocker, preferably

    •  in a closed system to reduce temperature loss.
      = Waste heat remains outside the building
      = Cooling capacity can be adapted to the demand

    alternatively: Connection via welded PE piping

    Two-part construction consisting of separate ice water basin and sprinkling line

    •  stainless steel version
    • Ice water basin on rollers; can be moved sideways
      = improved cleanability
    • Heat exchanger made of stainless steel, also functions as an ice storage at the same time
    • 2 x stainless steel circulating pump
    • Sprinkler perforated plate with insulated cover flap
    • Conveyor belt made of plastic links, suitable for food use, aligned to desired box size
    • Gear motor for driving the conveyor chain with electronic speed adjustment
    • Drain via sleeve gate valve 3“
    • Control cabinet directly on the flow shocker
    Accessories / Variations:
    • Insulation (80 mm PU foam sealing) of the walls and the ice water basin.
      not insulated = Installation directly in the cold store
      insulated = Installation outside the cold store
    • UV lamp for sterilisation
      various conveyor belts/roller conveyors/cross slides
      = for connection to sorting machine, cold store, etc.
      = according to the structural requirements, individually configurable
    • PLC control for regulation of energy consumption with power supply via photovoltaic system (also as retrofit kit for existing systems)
    • Roller conveyor
    • Cross slide
    Special features / Advantages:

    The Frigopurmat is built completely according to customer requirements, i.e.

    • Sprinkling line
    • Shock capacity
    • Cooling system
    • Box size
    • Accessories

    are free to choose.
