Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3343140A1] In order to overcome the limitations and problems that earlier apparatus and methods have experienced, a cryogenic freezer apparatus (10) is proposed, said apparatus (10) comprising: - a housing (12); - a fluidized bed belt (14) movable within the housing (12); -a shroud (16) positioned within the housing (12) for providing a zone (18) above the belt (14), the shroud (16) angled outward (17) from the belt (14) within the housing (12); and - a least one blower (20) positioned within the housing (12) in fluid communication with the zone (18) and centrally located above the zone (18) and the shroud (16). A related method of moving cryogenic gas to a fluidized bed belt (14) in a freezer (10) is also proposed.
