Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020251371A1] This publication relates to a plate freezer assembly (100) and a method for freezing a substance, such as biomass or seafood by means of a plate freezer assembly (100). The plate freezer assembly (100) comprises a freezer plate unit (110) being an assembly of a row of vertically arranged freezing plates (112) that are mutually interconnected in parallel, forming compartments (111) being accessible from the top allowing filling the compartments (111) with substance to be frozen. The plate freezer assembly (100) being arranged with confinement plates forming a bottom of the compartments (111), preventing the filled substance to be frozen to slide out. The freezing plates (112) are being provided with inlets (118) and outlets (119) for a freezer agent, associated with supply and return lines (121, 122) and a manifold system (120) And the freezing plates (112) are being separated and spaced apart in longitudinal direction. The plate freezer assembly (100) is being provided with devices allowing the freezer plate unit (110) to be rotated around a longitudinal axis between a filling and emptying position.
