Plate Freezers

The Concept of the Century: The Plate Freezer

Extensive research and new engineering techniques have enabled Wescold to build an enviable reputation for plate freezers which exceed the food industry's high standards for production and performance.

You can now select a Century plate freezer which meets your production requirements and your available space.

Each Century plate freezer is a modular unit. It can be connected to your existing refrigeration system or supplied with its own. It is easily adapted to any type of refrigerant and can be matched to meet your present and future production requirements.

Quality In, Quality Out

Plate freezers have always been dependable performers in the frozen food industry. They provide reliable, high hourly production and low labor costs. Wescold plate freezers require less floor space and less supervision, which can reduce plant operating costs.

Plate freezing is a fast, economical method of freezing a wide variety of food products: seafood, fresh fruits, vegetables, poultry, meats, precooked microwave dishes and meals. The natural appearance and quality of your product is protected: no discoloration, no dehydration, no loss of weight. Because it is a fast freezing process, cell structure cannot break down. Packages come out flat and uniform. They look good, handle easily and pack properly.

Engineered For Endurance

One unique Wescold advantage is the strength and size of the extruded aluminum freezer plates. Any length up to 100 inches is available. Three widths are standard: 25 inches, 49 inches and 60 inches and custom widths are available on request.

The galvanized steel frame, stainless steel fasteners and stainless steel wire braided hoses assure that your Wescold plate freezer will last for years even under severe conditions and continuous daily production.

The hydraulic system is designed for maximum performance, with chrome-plated, stainless steel, dual hydraulic rams, stainless steel hydraulic tubing and precision control valves.

The stations on Wescold plate freezers can be designed to allow you to freeze different products on the same run.

Easy Maintenance

Clean-up is simple and fast. You can hose down or hot gas the entire unit in less than 10 minutes! Your Wescold Century plate freezer is then ready for immediate production.

All working parts are easily accessible. Routine maintenance can be done quickly.

The positioning of all controls, spacer blocks and hoses will please your maintenance crew.

Performance That Works

Production levels will vary depending upon the conditions, temperature, thickness and density of the incoming product. The type of packaging or wrapping and the output temperature will also influence hourly production volumes. This new Century plate freezer has been designed and tested by Wescold Engineers to equal or surpass comparable plate freezers in North America.

Every freezer is factory-tested and adjusted for all operations before shipment. Once installed it is backed by Wescold's One-Year Limited Warranty.

Mission Accomplished!

One of Wescold's major goals has been to design and build a rugged, dependable plate freezer which provides quality performance at a minimum price. The Century Series includes all of the design improvements and engineering refinements which our company has developed over 75 years. It is considered by many to be "State-of-the-Art" for the industry.

We know that some customers do not want an "off-the-shelf" unit. Therefore, every standard Wescold plate freezer can easily be modified to meet your specific requirements.

Whether you select a standard freezer of order a custom unit, your Wescold Century plate freezer can be your best equipment investment of the new century -- perhaps beyond!
