ABSTRACT:
A method of freezing a product, a frozen product produced thereby, and a freezing apparatus useful for performing the inventive method. The inventive method comprises the step of compressing a product to be frozen between a cooled first contacting surface and a cooled second contacting surface for a time effective for at least partially freezing the product. The inventive freezing apparatus preferably comprises: a first plate belt comprising a series of first belt freezing plates, each first belt plate having a contacting surface; a second plate belt comprising a series of second belt freezing plates, each second belt plate having a contacting surface; and a driving system for driving the plate belts. The plate belts of the preferred inventive apparatus are positionable adjacent to each other and are operable in a synchronized manner such that an article placed on the contacting surface of any given first belt freezing plate will be compressed and temporarily held between the contacting surface of the first belt freezing plate and the contacting surface of a corresponding second belt freezing plate. The driving system of the preferred inventive apparatus is operable for driving the plate belts in this synchronized manner.
