Tan Long Factory Standard Technical Specifications Matrix
1. Dual Contact Conduction Freezing Mechanism
Unlike mesh belt tunnels that rely solely on airflow, Tan Long solid flat belt IQF tunnels deploy hybrid heat transfer:
• Direct Bottom Conductive Transfer: The bottom of the solid steel belt contacts sub-zero air or chilled brine sprays, flash-crusting the underside of fillets or dough within 15 seconds, locking in cellular moisture.
• Top High-Velocity Impingement: High-static fans drive -40°C laminar air downward, pulling product core down to target sub-zero temperatures rapidly.
2. Superior Advantages for Fish Fillets & Value-Added Breaded Seafood
Export seafood processors supplying US FDA and EU markets demand impeccable surface aesthetics:
• Fillets retain smooth natural contours without unsightly mesh grid impressions.
• Battered tempura shrimp and breaded portions keep coatings intact without crumb shedding.
• Automated discharge scrapers release delicate portions cleanly without edge breakage.
3. HACCP-Compliant Automated CIP Sanitation
The seamless solid steel belt makes sanitation vastly simpler than intertwined mesh belts. Integrated high-pressure CIP spray manifolds and motorized brushes clean the belt return loop continuously, eliminating cross-contamination.
Competitive Advantages & Market Comparison Matrix
Technical comparison between genuine Tan Long refrigeration equipment manufactured at Duc Hoa 1 Industrial Park versus substandard market alternatives:
Tan Long Equipment Advantages
- ✓ Specialized Sandvik stainless solid steel belt with perfect flatness and a 10+ year lifespan
- ✓ Bottom chilled liquid contact ensures instant bottom crust freezing and zero belt adhesion
- ✓ Ultra-low weight shrinkage loss (< 0.4%) < 0.4%, cao hơn đáng kể so với mức 1.5% của hầm gió thường
- ✓ 24-Month Full Warranty with dedicated engineering support directly from Duc Hoa 1 Factory, Long An
Drawbacks of Manual / Used Imported Systems
- ✗ Imported Korean/European freezers cost 35% to 50% more than Tan Long with equivalent performance
- ✗ Inferior conveyor fabrications suffer wavy belt edges and jammed scraper blades
- ✗ Poor aerodynamics extend freezing duration, forming large ice needles that shred meat fibers
- ✗ Difficulty sourcing replacement scraper blades and hydraulic belt tensioners
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) by Engineers & Investors
Q1: Can solid flat belt IQF freezers process black tiger shrimp and clams?
Yes, but for small individualized items like peeled shrimp and clam meats, fluidized mesh belt IQF tunnels offer higher efficiency. Solid flat belts are optimal for fish fillets, straight-laid shrimp, battered items, and pastries.
Q2: Can Tan Long connect the IQF tunnel to our factory’s existing compressor station?
Yes. Tan Long custom-engineers IQF tunnels to integrate seamlessly with your existing central NH3 or Freon compressor racks, sizing liquid feed lines and expansion valves for peak efficiency.
