Milmeq Single Retention Tunnel (SRT) The SRT is designed to accomodate varying product types and carton sizes that require the same chill or freeze time. It is an air blast based system that provides uniformed conditioning. The SRT can be designed to be either a chill or freeze tunnel. The single retention time, the enclosure temperature and air velocity will be calculated depending on the temperature of product entering the system versus the desired temperature for exit. The SRT is a first in, first out system which means all cartons complete a full rotation within the system. The carton in feed and out feed conveyors are therefore positioned at one end. These interfacing Materials Handling systems can be multiple levels to increase the load and unload times. Milmeq Multiple Retention Tunnel (MRT) The MRT is designed to accomodate varying product types & carton sizes that require diffrerent chill or freeze times. The system is completely automatic.It is an air blast based system that provides flexibility to apply different cooling regimes for groups of product. Depending on the desired conditioning for a product whether it be to chill or freeze, it will be allocated a shelf within the system which has a preset retention time. The allocated shelf will then move the groups of product through the system at a high or low pace and deliver the cartons at the out-feed end of the tunnel. The integrated controls and automation designed for each system application allows for operator changes to the retention times set. The controls also deliver complete tracking and of all product within the system which aids the management for further processes post chilling or freezing such as palletising and distribution.The MRT is suited to lower throughput of products within food processing operations that require different conditioning and follow on to customised distribution loads.

Starfrost’s StarContact freezer utilises highly effective plate freezing principles. The two options, model CFH & CFF can harden product surfaces before the final freezing process, maintain shape and eliminate belt marks or fully freeze larger products by utilising an overhead air cooling system. The tunnel features a thin polyethylene film conveyor belt. This passes over a plate containing refrigerated pipes and provides one of the fastest and most efficient freezing processes known. The StarContact CFH (Contact Film Hardener) is ideal for freezing the underside of raw meats and poultry, as well as wet or delicate seafood products such as fish fillets, scallops, octopus and squid. The StarContact CFF (Contact Film Freezer) can be used for the full freezing of a wide variety of products that might be delicate or require "No belt mesh" freezing. Applications also include the freezing of puree or juice. Key Features of our Contact Freezers: •Product surfaces quickly hardened to a depth of around 1mm •Improves product presentation and quality •Helps reduce product dehydration •Increases value of soft and traditionally difficult food products •Long operation between defrosts •Film conveyor provides the most hygienic system possible •Optional overhead air cooling system for total product freezing
