Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing treatment by impingement to a continuous supply of food product includes a treatment zone at an ambient pressure, a fluid delivery zone at an elevated pressure, and a circulation assembly. Impingement plates containing apertures separate the zones. When treatment fluid is drawn through the impingement apertures, jets of treatment fluid are produced and impinge upon food product traveling through the treatment zone. The apparatus can employ a conveyor mechanism to accommodate food product from a continuous supply, as opposed to batches.

Abstract: An apparatus for the chilling or freezing of items, particularly food items includes an entrance module, an exit module and may include one or more intermediate modules. Each module includes a portion of a belt for conveying items and a motor driven impeller for circulating a stream of cryogenic gas around the items. The velocity of the stream of cryogenic gas is increased through the use of one or more impingers creating impingement jets above and below the belt. The impinger may be a plate having a series of holes or it may be a series of channels. The impinger effects the rate of heat transfer from the cryogen to the items. A sprayer for spraying liquid cryogen into the impingement jets provides an immediate freezing of the surface of an item. A pneumatically actuated ball valve is used to vibrate the impingers to remove snow and ice on the impingers.
Abstract translation: 用于冷藏或冷冻物品，特别是食品的装置包括入口模块，出口模块，并且可以包括一个或多个中间模块。 每个模块包括用于输送物品的皮带的一部分和用于使物品周围的低温气体流循环的马达驱动的叶轮。 低温气体流的速度通过使用一个或多个撞击器在皮带上方和下方产生冲击射流而增加。 撞击器可以是具有一系列孔的板，或者它可以是一系列通道。 撞击物影响从冷冻剂到物品的传热速率。 用于将液体冷冻剂喷射到冲击射流中的喷雾器立即冻结物品的表面。 气动球阀用于振动冲击器以去除撞击物上的积雪和冰。
