The new freezer is approximately 1.2 meters narrower and features sliding doors that enable easy access for defrost and cleaning

Meet the ADVANTEC™ Narrow – the freezer that cuts gas bills and fits into small spaces

  (UNITED STATES, 3/1/2026)

Launched by JBT Marel, the new Frigoscandia-branded ADVANTEC™ Narrow enables processors to reduce gas dependency while maximizing limited factory floor space

Food processors seeking to preserve the quality of fish, seafood, and meat—without expanding their production footprint—now have a compact, high-performance alternative. JBT Marel has introduced the ADVANTEC™ Narrow Impingement Freezer under its Frigoscandia brand, delivering the full capabilities of the original ADVANTEC system in a significantly slimmer design.

The new model is approximately 1.2 meters narrower than the standard ADVANTEC Impingement Freezer, allowing it to integrate into most existing production lines where space constraints previously limited upgrade options.

A timely solution amid rising gas costs

The launch comes as food manufacturers worldwide face escalating cryogenic gas prices. Many processors using cryogenic freezers—often selected for their compact width—have been searching for more cost-effective and energy-efficient freezing technologies.

The ADVANTEC™ Narrow offers a practical transition to full impingement freezing without requiring major facility redesigns. By maintaining high-capacity performance in a reduced footprint, the system enables longer production hours and improved operational efficiency compared to traditional cryogenic solutions.

According to Torbjörn Persson, Director of Global Sales Support & Product Line Management for Frigoscandia Freezers at JBT Marel, the development was driven directly by customer demand.

“Seeing that our customers wanted to maximize their production facilities, JBT Marel has developed a narrow footprint version of the ADVANTEC,” said Persson“The new freezer is approximately 1.2 meters narrower and features sliding doors that enable easy access for defrost and cleaning. This area can also be used for transport access during production.”

He emphasized that despite the reduced footprint, “the freezing capabilities are identical to the standard ADVANTEC, allowing customers to benefit from a truly innovative freezing system.”

High-speed freezing for superior product quality

Engineered to meet specific market needs, the ADVANTEC™ Narrow supports high-speed freezing of flat products up to 25 mm thick, as well as chill and crust freezing of products up to 200 mm thick, including meat, seafood, and fish.

Using advanced air-jet impingement technology, the system rapidly freezes products within minutes. High-velocity cold air jets are directed evenly across the product surface, minimizing dehydration, reducing drip loss, and limiting the formation of large ice crystals that can compromise texture and taste.

The process helps preserve product quality, mouthfeel, and yield while extending shelf life—key performance factors for protein processors operating in competitive global markets.

Maximizing output in limited spaces

While the original ADVANTEC Impingement Freezer set new standards for freezing performance, its larger footprint presented challenges for facilities with capacity or space limitations.

The ADVANTEC™ Narrow addresses those constraints without sacrificing throughput or freezing performance. By combining space efficiency, reduced reliance on cryogenic gas, and advanced impingement technology, JBT Marel’s Frigoscandia brand positions the new system as a practical and cost-conscious upgrade for modern food processing operations.

ADVANTEC™ Narrowのご紹介 ― ガスコストを削減し、狭いスペースにも設置可能なフリーザー

JBT Marel により発売された新しい Frigoscandia ブランドの ADVANTEC™ Narrow は、限られた工場スペースを最大限に活用しながら、ガス依存を削減することを可能にします

魚、シーフード、肉の品質を維持しながら、生産スペースを拡張することなく処理を行いたい食品加工業者にとって、コンパクトで高性能な新たな選択肢が登場しました。JBT Marel は、Frigoscandia ブランドのもと、ADVANTEC™ Narrow Impingement Freezer を発表しました。本製品は、従来のADVANTECシステムのすべての性能を維持しながら、大幅にスリム化された設計を実現しています。

新モデルは、標準的なADVANTECインピンジメントフリーザーよりも約 1.2メートル 狭い設計となっており、これまでスペースの制約によりアップグレードが難しかった既存の生産ラインにも統合可能です。

ガス価格高騰の中でのタイムリーなソリューション

本製品の発売は、世界的な低温用ガス価格の高騰という背景のもと行われました。コンパクトな幅を理由に低温ガスフリーザーを使用してきた多くの加工業者は、よりコスト効率が高く、エネルギー効率に優れた凍結技術を模索しています。

ADVANTEC™ Narrow は、大規模な設備改修を必要とせずに、フルインピンジメント凍結への移行を可能にします。コンパクトな設置面積で高い処理能力を維持することで、従来の低温ガス方式と比較して、生産時間の延長と運用効率の向上を実現します。

JBT Marel の Frigoscandia Freezers におけるグローバルセールスサポート兼プロダクトラインマネジメント担当ディレクター、トルビョルン・パーション氏 は、この開発が顧客のニーズに基づいて行われたことを強調しました。

「お客様が生産設備を最大限に活用したいと望んでいることを受け、JBT Marel はADVANTECのナローフットプリント版を開発しました」と パーション氏 は述べました。「新型フリーザーは約 1.2メートル 狭く設計されており、霜取りや清掃のためのアクセスを容易にするスライドドアを備えています。このスペースは生産中の搬送アクセスとしても使用可能です。」

さらに同氏は、「設置面積が狭くなっても、凍結能力は標準ADVANTECと同一であり、真に革新的な凍結システムの恩恵を受けることができます」と述べました。

優れた製品品質を実現する高速凍結

特定の市場ニーズに応えるために設計された ADVANTEC™ Narrow は、最大 25 mm厚 の平坦製品の高速凍結、および肉、シーフード、魚など最大 200 mm厚 の製品のチルおよびクラスト凍結に対応しています。

高度なエアジェットインピンジメント技術を採用し、製品を数分以内に急速凍結します。高速の冷風ジェットを製品表面に均一に当てることで、水分蒸発を最小限に抑え、ドリップロスを低減し、食感や風味を損なう原因となる大きな氷結晶の形成を抑制します。

このプロセスにより、製品品質、食感、歩留まりを維持しながら、保存期間を延長することが可能となります。これは競争の激しい世界市場で操業するタンパク質加工業者にとって重要な要素です。

限られたスペースで最大の生産性を実現

従来のADVANTECインピンジメントフリーザーは凍結性能の新基準を確立しましたが、その設置面積の大きさは一部施設にとって課題となっていました。

ADVANTEC™ Narrow は、処理能力や凍結性能を犠牲にすることなく、これらの制約に対応します。省スペース設計、低温ガス依存の削減、そして高度なインピンジメント技術を組み合わせることで、JBT Marel の Frigoscandia ブランド は、本システムを現代の食品加工現場にとって実用的かつコスト意識の高いアップグレードとして位置付けています。

ADVANTEC™ Narrow——降低燃气成本、适用于狭小空间的冷冻机

由 JBT Marel 推出的全新 Frigoscandia 品牌 ADVANTEC™ Narrow,可在有限厂房空间内减少对燃气的依赖

对于希望在不扩大生产空间的情况下保持鱼类、海鲜和肉类品质的食品加工企业而言,一种紧凑且高性能的新选择现已面世。JBT Marel 在其 Frigoscandia 品牌下推出了 ADVANTEC™ Narrow 冲击式冷冻机,在大幅缩小占地面积的同时,保留了原有 ADVANTEC 系统的全部性能。

该新型号比标准 ADVANTEC 冲击式冷冻机窄约 1.2米,能够集成到大多数现有生产线中,为此前因空间受限而无法升级的企业提供了可行方案。

在燃气价格上涨背景下的及时解决方案

此次发布正值全球低温燃气价格持续上涨之际。许多原本使用低温燃气冷冻设备(通常因宽度较小而被选用)的加工企业,正在寻求更具成本效益和能源效率的替代技术。

ADVANTEC™ Narrow 使企业无需大规模改造设施即可转向全冲击式冷冻技术。在缩小占地面积的同时保持高产能表现,相比传统低温燃气冷冻方案,可实现更长的生产时间和更高的运营效率。

JBT Marel 旗下 Frigoscandia Freezers 全球销售支持与产品线管理总监 Torbjörn Persson 表示,该产品的开发直接源于客户需求。

“看到客户希望最大化其生产设施的利用率,JBT Marel 开发了 ADVANTEC 的窄型版本,” Persson 表示。“新冷冻机占地面积缩小约 1.2米,并配备滑动门,便于除霜和清洁操作。这一区域在生产过程中也可用于运输通道。”

他强调,尽管占地面积减少,“其冷冻能力与标准 ADVANTEC 完全相同,使客户能够受益于真正创新的冷冻系统。”

高速冷冻,保障卓越产品品质

为满足特定市场需求而设计的 ADVANTEC™ Narrow,可对厚度达 25 mm 的扁平产品进行高速冷冻,并可对厚度达 200 mm 的肉类、海鲜和鱼类产品进行冷却及表面冻结处理。

该系统采用先进的空气射流冲击技术,可在数分钟内完成冷冻。高速冷空气射流均匀作用于产品表面,最大程度减少水分流失、降低滴水损失,并限制大冰晶的形成,从而避免对质地和风味造成影响。

该工艺有助于保持产品品质、口感和出品率,同时延长保质期——这对于在全球竞争市场中运营的蛋白质加工企业至关重要。

在有限空间内实现更高产能

原有 ADVANTEC 冲击式冷冻机树立了冷冻性能的新标杆,但其较大的占地面积对部分空间有限的工厂构成挑战。

ADVANTEC™ Narrow 在不牺牲产能和冷冻性能的情况下解决了这一问题。通过结合空间效率、减少对低温燃气的依赖以及先进的冲击式技术,JBT Marel 的 Frigoscandia 品牌 将该系统定位为现代食品加工企业切实可行且具有成本意识的升级选择。
