Pacific West Refrigeration SCH 80 and SCH 40 Freezer Plate Facts

Based on years of experience Pacific West Refrigeration has become leaders in the design, production and installation of specialized refrigeration systems for the fishing industry.  One of the key ingredients to our success is our FREEZER PLATES.  They are a single contact plate that requires little maintenance and drop to temperatures well below -55°F.  The fact that they are aluminum extruded plates and return bends make them by far the best when it comes to structural support.

CUSTOM SIZES

• The size can range from any 8” increment wide (x) any length up to 20'

This makes them versatile for any hold configuration and leaves lots of room for product storage.

QUALITY OF CATCH is far greater when using Pacific West Refrigeration freezer plates:

• Low product dehydration (more weight when selling)

• Nicer looking product

• Quality product when thawed and ready for consumption

Quality freezing means more of a profit.

LOW COST of buying and maintaining our freezer plates is proven in the following ways:

• Less refrigerant required than in other freezer plate systems

• Stainless Swivel flanges for corrosion resistance (Custom built by Pacific West Refrigeration)

•  Extra long service life because they are made from extruded aluminum

LOW COST when compared with double contact freezing:

• Almost half the cost initially when buying single contact compared to double

• Less maintenance when compared with double contact freezing (less mechanical parts)

• Individually frozen fish freeze faster with there original shape (good looks) in tact.

• Any boxed/container or whole fish item (with air pockets) freezes almost or just as fast.
