Impingement unit

The BMA Nederland Impingement Freezer is a cooling, freezing or drying tunnel based on a new developed and highly sophisticated concept for rapid cooling, freezing or drying of thin, viscosious or vulnerable products in order to:

	Avoid Structure damage
	Minimize moisture loss
	Limit Colour loss
	Increase capacity

Base of the design of the Ferguson Impingement Freezer is cold air in air boxes being blown through a unique pattern of narrow holes at high speed (jets) at the top and bottom of the product. As such the isolating and heat adsorbing product border layer is broken and an very intensive contact is reached between product and cooling air.

The Ferguson Impingement Freezer was developed in close cooperation with Solutherm B.V. which specializes in creating unique calculating and simulating software for cooling, freezing and drying of numerous products. By means of this software reliable estimates can be made towards:

	required air temperatures
	required fan capacities
	energy consumption
	machine size

suitable for:

Viscose products             - Coffee

                                                       - Sauce

	Thin products                   - Fillets
	Fragile products              - Fish
	Bulk products                   - Spinach
	Sticky products                 - Puree
	Solid products                  - Snacks
	Delicate products            - Meat

Impingement systems consist of air jets impinging at high velocity on a food product.”
