<p>In order to overcome the problems that earlier apparatus have experienced, a freezer (10) for a product (18), in particular for a food product, is proposed, the freezer (10) comprising
- a housing (12) having a sidewall defining a chamber in the housing (12), and an inlet (20) and an outlet (22) in communication with the chamber;
- a pair of baffle assemblies (36, 38) spaced apart and disposed in the chamber, a first one (36) of the pair movable ninety degrees out of phase from a second one (38) of the pair;
- a plate (62, 64) disposed in the chamber and extending between the first (36) and second (38) baffle assemblies for dividing a portion of the chamber into an intake zone (66) and an outflow zone (68);
- a fan (60) disposed in the chamber between the first (36) and second (38) baffle assemblies and in communication with the intake (66) and outflow (68) zones for providing a gas flow (16, 21) from the intake zone (66) to the outflow zone (68); and
- a delivery apparatus (70, 72, 74, 78) in communication with the chamber for delivering a chilling substance to the chamber for reducing a temperature of the product (18).</p> |
