One of the largest makers of hamburger patties and processed poultry, with more that 28 distribution and processing centers located throughout the world and a major supplier to Fast Food chains recently installed a CES Tornado Nitrogen Freezer in one of their European production sites.

The CES Tornado tunnel freezer is designed and built to meet strict EU regulations including safety and hygienic standards (EU EN-1672-2). Completely build out of stainless steel with more then 20 stainless steel motors CES was able to meet and exceed all sanitation requirements. Manufactured and installed in less then 16 weeks without any delays during start-up, our customer was able to meet the its production goals and targets as scheduled.

The CES Tornado tunnel freezer is able to produce over 2,000kg (4,400lbs) per hour for 18 consecutive hours each day. The key to achieving these production capacities are the following:

  • Multiple nitrogen injection zones

  • Speed controlled high performance CES circulation fans
  • Speed controlled exhaust blowers with sequential defrost
