The British firm’s double drum spiral system for Minor Dairy is the latest Starfrost freezer to be exported to a leading food manufacturer in Thailand. In conjunction with a local agent, Starfrost has recently supplied freezing and chilling systems to Thai processors for tropical fruits and poultry.
Minor Dairy produces a variety of premium ice cream products for foodservice outlets across the Thai and international markets. The firm owns Swensen’s, Thailand’s largest ice cream brand, serving consumers throughout Asia.
Starfrost’s UK engineering team has custom-designed a Double Drum Helix Spiral freezer for Minor Dairy with a processing capacity of 1,500 kg/hr. The Helix Spiral features a 620mm wide stainless steel mesh product conveyor belt and two rotating drums, each with 10 spiralling tiers. The compact, modular system is 16.75m in length, has a height of 6.1m and is 6.2m wide.
The bespoke Double Drum Helix Spiral system is designed to process ice cream in 6kg plastic and paper containers, at a rate of 25 cans every six minutes. The product enters the freezer at a temperature of -4 degrees Celsius. Each container of ice cream is then hardened to -25 degrees Celsius.
