ABSTRACT:
Plate freezer apparatus has a plurality of vertically disposed refrigerated plates separated from each other by spacer frames to define a plurality of open topped compartments to receive product to be frozen. The assembly of plates and spacer frames are held together by spring tensioned rods which apply a compressive force to the assembly. Each plate has a number of wedge surfaces and a plate separating device engages the wedge surfaces of an adjacent pair of plates to thereby separate those plates to enable the spacer frame and frozen material therebetween to be withdrawn. The frozen material is removed from the spacer frame which is then re-inserted between the separated plates and the separating device removed before the compartment is refilled with product to be frozen.
