The newest member of JBT’s freezer range, the Frigoscandia GYRoCOMPACT® 70 Spiral Freezer (GC70), is now available with Sequential Defrost; an addition which means producers can benefit from the GC70’s capacity increase for up to two weeks of continuous running.
By incorporating this option into the GC70, producers can enjoy not only prolonged running time but also a 20% capacity upgrade without compromising the footprint when compared to its predecessor. The new function means the GC70 can run longer continuous times without stopping and without any need to halt production for defrosting at regular intervals.
A new iteration of the JBT Frigoscandia GYRoCOMPACT range of spiral freezers – the industry standard for spiral freezer technology across the globe – the GC70 not only includes a 700mm wide belt, but also a range of key features which have been optimized to work better, smarter, and more powerfully than ever before.
The addition of the Sequential Defrost option enables the GC70 to operate continuously for up to two weeks without the need for frequent defrosting, ensuring uninterrupted production. “This is a specially tailored option designed to meet the running requirements of the GC70,” says Torbjörn Persson, JBT’s director of global sales support & product line management for Frigoscandia Freezers.
Capacity is another key feature of the GC70. To overcome space restrictions in many facilities, JBT has increased the overall capacity of the GC70 by building up, maximizing the amount of freezer that can cover the same area of floorspace. The overall achievement is a capacity increase of up to 20%. “The capacity is the big advantage of the GC70: in a relatively small space, we have managed to squeeze more capacity out of the freezer by increasing the headroom, which is of considerable benefit to customers,” says Persson.
Improved drying functions also play a key role in the updated GC70. The improvements, which are focused on quicker and more efficient drying of the belt, save up to an hour compared with previous functions. This, says Persson, translates to a big saving on customers’ turnaround times.
