Innovative and sanitary solution for quick, high-volume freezing, chilling, and cooling of a wide range of food products


JBT, The Hot Choice in Quick Freeze Freezers

In the past, rapidly chilling and freezing large quantities of food was a monumental task. And doing so, safely, efficiently, and cost-competitively was near impossible. On top of that, keeping your set-up clean and maintained was an extra-burdensome chore.

Thankfully, the CleanFREEZE freezer (formerly known as the Northfield SuperTrak Structure Supported Freezer) is robust enough to take on present-day demands. It’s flexible enough to handle tomorrow’s needs as well.

JBT’s CleanFREEZE is a shining example of innovation in the high-volume freezing, chilling, and cooling. As a next-generation freezer, it accommodates a broad assortment of both packaged and individual quick freeze (IQF) food products. The CleanFREEZE is regularly used in applications such as:

  • Poultry — Raw, par-fried, and fully-cooked whole-muscle and formed chicken products
  • Beef and pork — Raw and fully-cooked hamburger and sausage patties, links, and ground products
  • Pizza — Both plain crusts and fully-topped pies
  • Bakery — Breads, cakes, pies, donuts, and bagels
  • Ready meals in trays — Everything from single-serve to family-size entrées
  • Handheld snacks — Meat-, cheese-, or fruit-filled treats

Food processors also really appreciate the sanitary design, superior performance, and easy upkeep of their CleanFREEZE. Here are just some of the marquee attributes that set the Northfield CleanFREEZE Spiral Freezer apart from others:

  • Uptime is optimized with a cold-to-cold turnaround time of four hours.
  • Fully welded enclosure, minimal overlapping joints, and an open-profile frame and sloped surfaces minimize bacteria traps.
  • Capless, solid plastic rails reduce bacteria potential in the product zone.
  • Externally-mounted fan motors eliminate contact with products for better hygiene and easier maintenance.
  • Advanced design cuts installation time by up to 30% over previous models.

With JBT in house, you’ll be able to optimize operations, which could help you meet your yield, quality, and throughput goals. Better still — you don’t have to sacrifice food safety, product shelf-life, or cost per unit.

CIP — Optional Upgrade for Even Better Results

JBT’s Clean-in-Place (CIP) technology is a terrific add-on to your CleanFREEZE. Once installed, it can reduce labor costs and boost plant efficiency.

CIP drastically and immediately cuts the time, effort, and difficulty of sanitizing your freezer. For example, the new 90 GPM pump cabinet lets you run multiple cleaning circuits simultaneously, which washes away at least an hour of overall clean-in-place time.
