LINE CONFIGURATION
Equipment, layout and utilities
Plant layout
Plan refrigeration and electrical service, condenser defrost, drainage and dehumidified unloading and packing.
Utility requirements
Confirm refrigeration, vacuum, electrical service and condenser defrost.
Investment factors
Wet batch load, pre-freezing, cycle length, ice condenser size and dry packaging.
Configuration options
Compare integrated and separate pre-freezing. Review defrost and dry packing workflow.
Why this process
Size by wet load per batch, complete cycle and condenser ice capacity. The planning reference needs reconciliation with batch load and cycle time.
CAPACITY OPTIONS
Plan the mass balance
Use wet load per batch and full cycle hours to calculate a cycle average. Capture pre-freezing, loading, drying, defrost and turnaround.
100 kg/h planning reference · Capacity basis to be confirmed. Confirm fresh input or finished output and reconcile the figure with wet batch load and full cycle time.

QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
How should I specify the capacity?
Give the wet load per batch, complete cycle and target moisture. For an hourly project target, define whether it is prepared input or finished output.
Which parts of the line are optional?
Preparation, pre-freezing, vacuum chamber, condenser and dry packing. Confirm whether pre-freezing is integrated or separate.
What should I bring to a process trial?
Provide a representative raw material sample, intended cut and quality targets. Record the load, recipe and moisture measurements.
