Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) airflow simulations show a spiral freezer before and after conditioning optimization. On the left, blue shows minimal airflow on the belt surface. On the right, red, orange, and yellow indicate improved airflow velocity across the spiral belting. -
Ice buildup blocks airflow velocity, reducing system efficiency
Airflow Optimization—available exclusively from Intralox—helps food processors optimize airflow efficiency. This can increase throughput, improve product quality, enhance food safety, and reduce energy costs.
What Is Airflow Optimization?
It’s the first service of its kind available to food manufacturers. Intralox Conditioning Specialists study your cooler or freezer to optimize airflow, which can improve heat transfer.
We conduct proprietary airflow analyses and implement vital mechanical changes so your system can run more efficiently, deliver consistent product quality, and consume less energy.
Why Is This Service Critical for Your System?
Airflow Optimization has the potential to improve freezing and cooling efficiency, which has proven to:
- Reduce dwell time, conditioning more product in a shorter period of time
- Minimize bacteria growth for improved food safety
- Decrease moisture loss and large ice crystal formation for less product damage and waste
- Mitigate ice buildup
- Enhance fan/coil performance
- Lower the energy consumption of freezers, often a plant’s most power-hungry equipment
