WRIGHTS Food Group has invested in a spiral freezing system from equipment specialist Starfrost designed for the simultaneous processing of ready meals and pies.
2
The food group was recently looking to upgrade from static blast freezing on a baked savoury pie line, to a fully automated in-line freezing system. It also wanted to link the freezing system to a brand new line of uncooked ready meals from a separate production area. Following a competitive tender process the contract was awarded to UK-based freezing and chilling equipment manufacturer Starfrost.
Starfrost designed a Helix Spiral freezer for Wrights with a processing capacity of 1,500kg/h. The Helix features a 30in wide conveyor belt with 24.5 tiers spiralling upward around a single rotating drum, giving an effective belt length of 375m.

Located in a former cold store, the Helix Spiral is linked to two different production areas in the Wrights manufacturing facility. A dual in-feed conveyor belt design allows both ready meals and pies to be processed simultaneously, with separate control panels for each product line.
Wrights’ Helix Spiral freezing system has an all stainless steel design and features a fully automated CIP (Clean in Place) sanitising system with fog disinfectant for ultimate hygiene. A large air cooler was designed to allow extended running times of up to 120 hours between defrosts. Starfrost

AIREDALE International recently helped frozen food retailer, Iceland, to reduce its building energy costs by £6,000 per store each year through the introduction of its ACIS control system.

Initially introduced in 50 stores undergoing a major upgrade programme, the energy savings delivered proved so substantial that Iceland decided to roll out ACIS across all 800+ stores. In the stores where the ACIS controls system was installed but no changes to plant were made, the retailer was able to compare and evidence energy draw before and after installation. As a result of the implementation, which allows the retailer tighter, more intelligent levels of control, coupled with free-cooling and part-load efficiencies during off-peak and non-trading hours, Iceland has reduced its energy costs by 10%, with an expected pay-back period on the investment of two years or less.
Iceland required a standardised control system that could be integrated into all of its stores for both new and existing cooling plant from Airedale and for retrofitting to other manufacturers’ equipment. The system allows
A NEW Turbomiser chiller installation at Swansea Civic Centre is believed to have the longest pipe work run ever used on a Turbocor-based air conditioning project. Designed and project-managed by the council’s in-house mechanical and electrical design and maintenance section, the project uses two 420kW ‘split’ Turbomisers, installed by Cool-Therm’s Wales branch in the building’s plant room. They are connected to two air-cooled condensers some 70m away on the rooftop. The Turbomisers replaced a pair of conventional, ageing Carrier chillers based on R22. To avoid disruption, it was essential to use some of the existing refrigeration pipe work.

The design for the new chiller system itself posed a particular challenge due to the complex configuration. It required intensive planning as well as detailed flow calculations to ensure it would perform efficiently and as intended. In addition, given the coastal location, the aluminium condensers were treated with an anti- corrosion coating to protect them from the elements. Cool-Therm 0303 030 0003

Iceland to intelligently manage heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) and other building services across multiple sites through a single central system and also makes managing spares and service simpler. The sophisticated software links the programmable controller to key components within the cooling system, allowing units to be optimised for increased energy efficiency. The controller had to be pre-programmable for a standard store and configurable on site, with selectable install parameters, saving significant installation costs.
