Abstract (en)

A plate freezer and a method for operating the plate freezer is disclosed. The plate freezer comprises a stack of freezer plates, each freezer plate having a first and a second surface, surrounding a hollow interior though which a coolant may be circulated, which freezer plates are movably mounted in a frame, wherein each freezer plate comprises at least a first actuator mounted in a first end of the freezer plate and at least a second actuator mounted in a second end of the freezer plate, said actuators being mounted on the first surface of the freezer plate in a first end of the actuator and a second end of the actuator is intended for being brought into contact with to the second surface of an adjacent freezer plate. The actuators are preferably hydraulic actuators. The overall height of a plate freezer having a certain capacity can be reduced, and the time needed for freezing the product is reduced.
