摘要： A cellularly-integrated food process line (30) is a combination of several diverse cells (32, 24, 36, 38), which are diverse because each performs non-identical operations. Such cells (32, 24, 36, 38) are configured to perform at least one sub-process as marinade, form, cook, dust coat, batter coat, crumb coat, fry, sear, grill mark or freeze, as well as any two or several of those sub-processes in combination. The cells (32, 24, 36, 38) are also configured to stack vertically in interchangeable combinations, as desired, to form a tower. Changing the combination or sequence of such cells (32, 24, 36, 38) correspondingly changes the end result on food product (41) processed by such combination. Each cell has its own conveying apparatus (56, 60, 68) for motivating food product (41) along a pathway, which may collectively be driven by a common drive system (40, 50).

摘要： An integrated food process system has a several cells, each having a track forming a horizontal circuit or pathway for a series of product-carrying trays to travel in laps around. The cells afford stacking together in vertically-stacked combinations, multi-variously as desired, to form a tower. The enclosed centers of the cells cooperatively define a hollow core for the tower, which provides space for a drive system that motivates the trays in laps around the tracks, after which the trays are tipped to dump their contents into a corresponding tray in a lower level. There are an assortment of delivery systems for associating with one or more of the cells in order to allow a variety of tower constructions, any one of which can process an infeed of food product through a sequence of operations including combinations of any of cooking, pre-dusting, batter application, breading, frying, freezing, and/or packaging.

摘要： A spiral oven for continuous duty in continuous food process lines has an oven compartment enclosing a double-helix arrangement, of which there is a helical run of a food-carrying conveyor in combination with a helical assembly of heat-delivery elements. Accordingly, the double-helix arrangement provides close proximity between the food product on the conveyor and the heat-delivery elements.

摘要： A spiral freezer for continuous duty in continuous food process lines has a freezer compartment enclosing a double-helix arrangement, of which there is a helical run of a food-carrying conveyor in combination with a helical ramp or slideway for the food-carrying conveyor's helical run to ascend or descend on. The helical ramp is an assembly of numerous heat exchanger tubes, each wound helically and positioned in set lanes in the overall assembly of the ramp. An external refrigerant-circulating system is connected to circulate refrigerant through the heat exchanger tubes in order that hot components like compressors and condensers be kept outside of the freezer compartment for better energy efficiency. The foregoing conveyor and heat exchanger arrangement provides close proximity between the source(s) of heat in the food product on the conveyor and the sink of that heat to the refrigerant flowing inside the heat exchanger tubes.
