Tunnel Freezer

What is a Tunnel Freezer?

A tunnel freezer is a type of continuous quick-freezing equipment. It is widely used for large-scale quick freezing of seafood, meat, poultry, fruits, vegetables, and pastry products. The products enter the tunnel through a conveyor belt and are rapidly frozen under the action of low-temperature, high-velocity cold air. Tunnel freezers are characterized by large capacity, strong continuity, high freezing efficiency, suitability for mass continuous production, and excellent frozen product quality.

An IQF freezing machine emphasizes individual quick freezing, which is mainly applied to fruits, vegetables, and seafood. It is suitable for granular, sliced, or small-sized foods (such as blueberries, strawberries, peas, shrimp, fish fillets, etc.), ensuring that each piece is frozen separately without sticking together. IQF freezing machine is essentially a process feature. In fact, IQF freezing machines are often designed with a tunnel structure.

Therefore, if your requirement is to freeze granular or small-sized products, an IQF tunnel freezer is usually the preferred choice. AGICO can customize various food freezers to meet your specific needs.

Tunnel Freezer Price Influence Factors

When investing in a tunnel freezer, one of the most important considerations for food processors is the tunnel freezer price. The cost of a tunnel freezer can vary significantly depending on multiple factors, including equipment specifications, customization level, and production requirements. Below are the key elements that influence the final tunnel freezer price.

1. Freezing Capacity

The capacity of a tunnel freezer is one of the primary determinants of its price. Models can range from small-scale units handling hundreds of kilograms per hour to large industrial systems processing several tons per hour. Higher capacity machines require larger refrigeration systems, stronger conveyors, and more robust structures, which naturally increase the overall investment.

2. Design Type

The design type also affects the tunnel freezer cost. Standard straight-line belt tunnel freezers are generally more affordable, while customized designs such as spiral tunnel freezers or fluidized tunnel freezers come at a higher price due to their compact layout, larger freezing capacity within limited space, and advanced engineering complexity.

3. Refrigeration System

The choice of refrigeration system plays a major role in pricing. Buyers can choose between ammonia refrigeration (commonly used in large industrial plants for high efficiency and lower long-term cost) or Freon refrigeration (suitable for smaller installations with simpler maintenance). The type of refrigerant, compressor power, and cooling efficiency will directly impact the tunnel freezer price.

4. Automation Level

Modern food factories increasingly prefer automated freezing solutions. A basic tunnel freezer may only include manual controls, while advanced models can be equipped with PLC systems, touch-screen interfaces, frequency converters, automatic belt cleaning, and smart monitoring features. The higher the automation level, the more efficient and user-friendly the machine, but also the higher the investment cost.

5. Material & Construction Quality

Another factor influencing the tunnel freezer price is the choice of materials. AGICO uses high-quality stainless steel for all internal components, ensuring hygiene, durability, and easy cleaning. Stronger construction, better insulation panels, and reliable stainless steel fans all add to the cost but significantly improve long-term performance and lifespan.

6. Customization & Additional Features

Each food product has different freezing requirements. Some buyers may need ultra-low temperature models (up to –80ºC), special belt types (stainless steel belt or plastic chain belt), or compact footprint designs to fit into existing production lines. These customized solutions will affect the final tunnel freezer price but provide the best return on investment by improving efficiency and product quality.
