Tetra Pak® Continuous Freezer 4000 A 2.0 The freezer is supplied with butterfly valves (as shown). In 3A execution optional seat valves are supplied in lieu of butterfly valves. Working principle • Uniform product quality The ice cream mix is metered into the freezing cylinder by a gear pump. A constant airflow is fed into the cylinder together with the mix. During the passage through the cylinder, the air is whipped into the mix by a dasher and inner beater. Refrigerant surrounding the cylinder provides the freezing. Stainless steel blades scrape the frozen ice cream from the inside wall of the cylinder, and a second gear pump pushes the ice cream forward for filling or extrusion. • Low product loss • Easy operation • Reduced energy consumption • Low maintenance • Smaller footprint • Lowest production cost per ice cream product Application Continuous freezing and whipping of ice cream mix with air to produce ice cream and other frozen desserts. Scraped-surface freezing of other products. Standard design The frame, sheeting and refrigeration system of Tetra Pak ® Continuous Freezer 4000 A 2.0 are constructed from stainless steel. All parts coming into contact with the ice cream are manufactured from stainless materials to facilitate cleaning and reduce maintenance. The freezers comply with EHEDG sanitary standards and are authorized to display the 3-A sanitary standards symbol when supplied with seat valves in lieu of butterfly valves.

Installation The freezer units are ready to be connected to power, refrigerant air, mix and ice cream piping. The freezing cylinder This is made of pure nickel and the inside surface is hard chromium-plated to a mirror finish. Drive Power is transferred from the main motor directly to the dasher by V-belts. Easy access is secured by a swing-away electrical enclosure. Dasher and inner beater Open style multi-dasher with stationary inner beater. Shaft seal is externally mounted for easy and effective cleaning. The refrigeration system This system ensures stable cooling, which is essential to...

Automatic viscosity control The chosen viscosity is maintained automatically by regulating the cooling temperature. Maintaining a constant viscosity means a uniform end-product for filling or extrusion. Ice cream mix containing 38% total solids and 100% overrun is used for capacity calculation. max. 30 ppm For certain production conditions, e.g. when producing a lowviscosity ice cream, it is advantageous to control the cooling by the ice cream temperature to achieve a uniform end-product. Control of ice cream temperature Upon receipt of customer’s mix recipe, the precise capacity and outlet...
