Advantages of
Cryogenic Hardening Lowest retention time for ice cream novelties & cakes Excellent ice cream texture Allows surface setting of novelty item prior to wrapping Superior overall quality for cake items
Disadvantages of
Cryogenic Hardening Very expensive on a cost/lb basis Cost is proportional to location cryogenic medium processing Unit must meet sanitation demands Process requires expensive production room area

Laminar Flow
Disadvantages:
Consumes greater amount energy (Fan BHP). Increases static pressure resulting in reduced air flow (CFM) with existing equipment.
Package Spacing
Package Rows should have a minimum of 2.00 inch space between rows for air flow.
Mediocre to poor hardening results Requires conscientious operator to insure product quality High labor costs High product shrinkage Can result in unattractive packaging
Advantages of
Variable Retention Time (VRT) Hardener
Allows variable retention time for different size items Easily adapts to line automation Maintains package orientation through the hardening process Hardens multiple package sizes simultaneously Handles high production rates (up to 10,000 GPH)
Disadvantages of
Variable Retention Time (VRT) Hardener
Highest cost hardener Complex program and operation Higher product shrinkage through system High static pressures require higher HP and energy requirements & longer retention times Inherent design results in higher maintenance costs Minimum size system is approx 1500 GPH
The Transport
Advantages of
Multiple Tray Transport
Double pass air system insures very good hardening Hardens multiple package sizes simultaneously Very low production shrinkage through hardening process w/ good design Moderate mechanical simplicity of automated tray type air convection hardeners Moderate capital investment Very low maintenance cost with long service life (40 + years) Very good package orientation adapts to automation Efficient air system reduces energy requirement and cost Available in sizes to 10,000 GPH
Disadvantages of
Multiple Tray Transport
No multiple retention time in standard form Minimum size system is 750 GPH More complex than spiral belt system Higher product shrinkage w/ poor design
No multiple retention time in standard form Minimum size system is 750 GPH More complex than spiral belt system Higher floor loadings than other air convection types
