ABSTRACT:
A freezer arrangement includes a room having a storage area and a blast cell, with the volume of the storage area being greater than the volume of the blast cell. Frozen food product is positioned in the storage area. A refrigeration unit draws air from the storage area and through the blast cell to rapidly freeze the unfrozen food product. Air from the blast cell is chilled and blown back into the storage area. A method for rapidly freezing unfrozen food product includes providing a room with a large storage area and a smaller blast cell. Unfrozen food product is loaded into the blast cell and a refrigeration unit is operated to draw air from the large storage area, through the blast cell, chill the air, and exhaust the chilled air into the storage area, until the food product in the blast cell is cooled to a predetermined temperature.
