The SMO Spiral Tunnel is a spiral freezer with conveyor belt technology, making it ideal for continuous and integrated in-line applications, such as:
- Rapid cooling
- Deep freezing
- Drying
This system provides a temperature range of -40°C to +40°C, enabling product freezing, cooling, or drying. SMO tunnels integrate easily into your plant’s existing process lines and can be used to automate production, cut energy costs, and increase productivity:
- Less material handling,
- Product quality improved.
- Increase capacity of operating cycles.
- Optimize energy use per pound or unit of product.
The SMO tunnel is suitable for packaged products or IQF (individually quick frozen), whether raw, cooked, exposed, or packaged. This tunnel is ideal for bread, pastries, processed products such as nuggets, cordon bleu, pizzas, fruit compote, stirred yogurts, and dairy desserts.
The SMO tunnel is a recent innovation in the Clauger product range. The takeover of the SMO business by KAUFLER-SMO International in 2020 allowed Clauger to expand its offers and expertise in cooling and deep freezing.
With the combination of spiral tunnels and refrigeration production, Clauger now offers a turnkey solution to manufacturers seeking operational efficiency.
