\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The TMW35 allows deep frozen foods to be tempered or defrosted (butter) quickly. It is adapted for products like meat, poultry, fish, fruits, vegetables, cheese, butter, etc\u2026\n<\/strong>\nThe distinctive feature of the TMW 35 tunnel is the use of the microwave technology to achieve the best tempering homogeneity while maintaining a good microwave efficiency.\n\nThe very low floor space, the length under microwaves (residence time) and the crossed coupling of microwaves above and below the blocks, are a few examples of the solutions used to conciliate capacity, flexibility, efficiency and homogeneity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KEY BENEFITS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Profitable:<\/strong> save money by avoiding drip losses
Fast:<\/strong> very short time of treatment, between 5 to 15 minutes
User friendly:<\/strong> easy loading \/ unloading, colour touch screen HMI
Homogeneous:<\/strong> excellent temperature homogeneity thanks to multiple microwave inlets
Reliable:<\/strong> no need for regular maintenance, except daily cleaning
Hygienic:<\/strong> no bacteriological growth, complies with all hygiene regulations and standards
Flexible:<\/strong> can be used for tempering packed (cardboard, plastic film \u2026) or unpacked food
Compact:<\/strong> small floor footprint
Connected:<\/strong> USB and ethernet connection for remote control<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TEMPERING CAPACITIES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The TMW35 offers a tempering capacity between 1 t\/h and 1.5 t\/h from – 20 \u00b0C to a final temperature of – 4 \u00b0C \/ – 2 \u00b0C in 95% of the block, which is the optimum temperature for processing: dicing, grinding, cutting, slicing\u2026

The capacity is calculated to temper frozen blocks with standard dimensions 600 mm x 400 m x 200 mm and a weight of about 20 \/ 25 kg. If fatty products are to be processed, fat ought to be very homogeneously distributed in the block, otherwise the limit temperature for homogeneity is – 4 \u00b0C.

The tempering capacity is variable and depends on the final required temperature and on the product (meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, butter, etc. Figures below show these variations. The data in the charts are calculated for the TMW 35 operating at 30 kW power, with ton\/toff1 optimum at 95 %, for blocks with regular size and weight 25 kg (600 mm x 400 mm x 200 mm) and for a starting temperature around -20 \u00b0C\/-18 \u00b0C.

The maximum microwave power which can be used in processing is limited by the products and not the tunnel. Recipes power vs. time must be chosen according to the compromise between capacity and homogeneity of heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TEMPERING CAPACITY VS. DESIRED FINAL TEMPERATURE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/strong> Chicken \u2243 1.8 t\/h from -18 \u00b0C to -5 \u00b0C or \u2243 1.15 t\/h from -18 \u00b0C to -3 \u00b0C.\nExample:<\/strong> Fatty pork \u2243 2.1 t\/h from -18 \u00b0C to -5 \u00b0C or \u2243 1.5 t\/h from -18 \u00b0C to -3 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TEMPERING CAPACITY VS. PRODUCT TYPE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Examples:<\/strong> butter (1.8 t\/h at -3\u00b0C) or beef 60 % lean (1.15 t\/h at -3\u00b0C) for the same final temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TEMPERING CAPACITY VS. FAT CONTENT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/strong> capacity \u2243 1.2 t\/h for beef 60 % lean, or \u2243 0.85 t\/h for beef 100 % lean from -18 \u00b0C to -3 \u00b0C<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capacity is highly variable if final temperature is -7 \u00b0C or -3 \u00b0C, or if meat is lean beef or fat pork. Such variations are linked to physical laws such as for example, latent heat of fusion.

Capacity varies according to the processed product (lean beef, pork\u2026), its fat content and the final required temperature.

All the above charts are calculated for a TMW35 operating under following conditions:
\u2022 Power of microwave generator at 30 kW
\u2022 Ton\/Toff at 95 %
\u2022 Blocks or products with regular mass and shape
\u2022 Blocks or products regularly placed on the belt
\u2022 Starting temperature between -20 \u00b0C and -18 \u00b0C homogeneous in all the blocks or products<\/p>\n\n\n\n
