If your company is looking for an efficient compact freezing solution, plate freezers are an excellent option. They allow you to freeze large quantities of food quickly and uniformly, whether it’s meat, poultry or dairy products. The vertical stacking design of plate freezers ensures consistent freezing while maximising space – perfect for the food and beverage industry.

Plate freezers work best with flexible hoses, which allow for smooth stacker movement and consistent refrigerant flow. And the best place to source high-quality flexible hoses is Pacific Hoseflex. We make industry leading PTFE and stainless steel hoses designed to keep plate freezers running seamlessly.

Our plate freezer hoses are designed to meet the unique demands of the freezing process, providing the durability, flexibility, and reliability required for seamless performance.

How plate freezers work

To understand why high-quality plate freezer hoses are essential, it’s important to understand how these freezers work.

Plate freezers operate by placing food products, typically in cartons or trays, between refrigerant-filled plates. These plates make direct contact with the products, freezing them rapidly and evenly. The vertical design allows stacks of plates to rise and fall, accommodating for the loading and unloading of cartons efficiently.

This movement is critical to the freezing process, and flexible hoses play a key role in ensuring that the stackers can move without interruption. The hoses connect to the refrigerant system, delivering a steady flow of coolant while allowing the stacks to move freely.

Applications of plate freezers

Plate freezers are commonly used in industries where rapid and efficient freezing is needed. Popular applications include:

  • Meat processing: For quick freezing of meat products, improving refrigeration index and reducing time to market.
  • Poultry freezing: Provides consistent freezing to maintain product quality.
  • Dairy products: Freezes items like butter and cream in uniform shapes for easier transportation and storage.

At Pacific Hoseflex, we offer a range of plate freezer hoses, including:

The importance of flexible hoses in plate freezers

The movement of plate freezer stacks means they demand a level of flexibility that rigid piping just can’t provide. This is where our PTFE and stainless steel hoses come in. These hoses are engineered to:

  1. Accommodate vertical movement: As stacks rise and fall, the hoses must flex and bend without restricting the flow of refrigerants.
  2. Ensure durability: Operating in cold environments with constant motion can wear out some materials. Pacific Hoseflex Plate Freezer Hoses are designed to withstand these conditions, maintaining high performance over time.
  3. Provide leak-free operation: A secure, reliable connection is essential to prevent refrigerant leaks, which can disrupt the freezing process or lead to expensive repairs.
