FMC FoodTech Unveils the GYRoCOMPACT® M10 Tight Curve Spiral Freezer
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 24, 2007
International Poultry Exposition - Atlanta, GA, January 24, 2007 -
Freezer offers nearly 50 percent greater capacity with limited footprint
FMC FoodTech, the foremost spiral freezer manufacturer, announced its new GYRoCOMPACT® M10 Tight Curve (M10 TC) self-stacking spiral freezer at the International Poultry Exposition (IPE). The M10 TC has a footprint the same width as the well-known GYRoCOMPACT 76, but more than 40 percent greater capacity. Incorporating all of the benefits that make the M-series product line the industry leader in freezing, the M10 TC boasts superior hygiene, flexibility, reliability and performance.
The M10 TC’s improved 40-inch belt expands on the outermost side and collapses on the innermost to create a tight radius and curve, while its patented pulling link is integrated in the mesh of the belt creating a completely flat belt surface. These enhancements allow for greater capacity and longer run-times with less downtime and turnaround time. In addition, the new technology has no neck-down equipment from the process line, which allows for increased throughput and a more trouble-free production.
“Who has space for oversized equipment in an already crowded facility?,” said Torbjorn Persson, freezers product line manager for FMC FoodTech. “The M10 TC gives processors the increased capacity they need, in a freezer that fits conveniently in their plant. And with the new 40-inch belt and no neck-down equipment, processors will experience a more trouble-free production.”
Another feature, the third generation patented FRIGoDRIVE® M drive system, advances the conveyor belt using only rolling friction for increased speed, less lubrication and lower drive forces. In addition, the new drive systems enables increased stack weights of up to 45 tiers, significantly increasing capacity and efficiency.
A model of the GYRoCOMPACT M10 TC self-stacking conveyor stack will be available for viewing at FMC FoodTech’s booth which is located in Hall, booth #2252. Please visit www.fmcfoodtech.com for more information about the company or its product lines.
