ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, apparatus for freezing fragile food products is provided. The apparatus includes a first freezing section which includes a solid conveyor belt which is guided to provide an upper product receiving section and a lower section, which passes through a bath of cryogen so as to chill the surface of the belt. The first freezing section includes means to admit product onto the upper belt section and also includes means to move the product to an exit end of the upper belt section. A second freezing section is provided which is a spiral mechanical or cryogenic freezer. The first freezer has an entry end and an exit end. The entry end of the second freezing section is mated to the exit end of the first freezing section so as to receive product having a bottom frozen surface crust from the first freezing section.
