Abstract
The present invention provides food coolers the cooling, in particular deep freezing, of foods produced as moldings (3) comprising a refrigerating space (1) and a conveyor belt (2) for conveying the foods (3) through this refrigerating space (1). The conveyor belt (2) is assigned holding devices (6) for the defined positioning of the moldings (3) on the conveyor belt (2).
Claims33
A food cooler for the cooling of food bodies selected from the group consisting of essentially flat foods and barlike foods, produced as at least one molding, comprising:
- a refrigerating space comprising a refrigerating medium, at least one conveyor belt for conveying at least one molding through said refrigerating space;
- wherein said conveyor belt is assigned one or more holding devices for said at least one molding, and wherein said holding device is designed for the defined holding of said at least one molding on said at least one conveyor belt in an inclined to upright position of at least 45°, with said at least one molding directly accessible to said refrigerating medium when conveyed through said refrigerating space.
A food cooler for the cooling of food bodies selected from the group consisting of essentially flat foods and barlike foods, produced as moldings, comprising:
- a refrigerating space, at least one conveyor belt for conveying at least one molding through said refrigerating space, wherein said at least one conveyor belt is assigned one or more holding devices for said at least one molding;
- wherein said holding devices are designed for the defined holding of said at least one molding on said at least one conveyor belt in an inclined to upright position of at least 45°, and wherein said holding devices are suitable for supporting said at least one molding in a region which is at a distance from the lowest point of said at least one molding which corresponds to 60 to 75% of said at least one molding width or molding height.
A food cooler for the cooling of food bodies selected from the group consisting of essentially flat foods and barlike foods, produced as moldings, comprising:
- a refrigerating space comprising a refrigerating medium, at least one conveyor belt for conveying at least one molding through said refrigerating space, holding devices, a precooling stage for the precooling of said at least one molding;
- wherein said at least one conveyor belt is assigned to holding devices for said at least one molding, said holding devices are designed for the defined holding of said at least one molding on said at least one conveyor belt in an inclined to upright position of at least 45°, with said at least one molding directly accessible to said refrigerating medium when conveyed through said refrigerating space, and wherein said holding devices are arranged with a spacing from one another which corresponds to the thickness of said at least one molding to be cooled.
