Features and benefi ts
Designed to meet your process requirements
• Effi cient airfl ow: Full-height, horizontal airfl ow (1) minimizes product yield loss and energy consumption.
Optimal heat transfer through stainless steel tubes and high-effi ciency evaporator with aluminium fi ns (2).
• Optimal hygiene: Stainless steel fl oor and structure (3), airtight drum (4). Insulated enclosure panels clad with
stainless steel or white food safe galvanized sheet (5). CIP options adapted to customer needs.
• Easy to operate: Smart operator interface (6) with in-house operating philosophy to ensure easy operating, learning,
information transfer and data exchange.

• Energy saving: Effi cient design (9) delivers 5 to 10% energy savings compared to vertical airfl ow solutions.
Products don’t block airfl ow, so lower fan capacity and heat losses. It requires a smaller compressor installation.
Automatic air balance system (10) avoids ice build-up and energy losses to the production room.
The GEA E-Tec/P freezer off ers the versatility you need for chilling
or freezing of protein products, whatever the size, confi guration
or loading pattern of your products. To meet a wide range
of application and run time between cleaning cycles requirements,

Extending the run-time between cleaning
As an option, extended fi n spacing evaporators can be specifi ed
to increase the production time between cleaning cycles to up
to 40 hours. Ultimately, a unique sequential defrost system ensures
continuous production at a high capacity for up to 6 consecutive
days.
