Stainless Steel Tunnel Freezer & Enclosures | Stainless Fabrication, Inc.

Over 100 freezer tunnel installations

SFI has constructed over 100 freezer enclosures in the field since building our first unit in 1988. During this time we have worked with customers to perfect our design, skills and methods, making us a leading provider of fully welded, stainless steel enclosures.

What is a freezer tunnel?

A freezer tunnel, sometimes called a freezer enclosure, is a very large, stainless steel, insulated, jacketed, rectangular shaped room-within-a-room. It is sanitary by design, having fully-welded stainless steel walls, floors and ceilings, making it easy to clean—a "must have" for food manufacturers at a time when food-borne bacteria and viruses can threaten the quality of their product.

We work with food processing system integrators to design and build stainless steel tunnel freezers & enclosures that will meet freezing requirements for a variety of food products. The system integrator is responsible for process design and procurement of the internals that convey and freeze the foods within the SFI freezer enclosure. We work together to develop custom freezing solutions to help our customers deliver the highest quality food products to their customers.

Freezer Enclosure Construction Details

SFI freezer enclosures are suitable for new construction or our crew will demolish an existing box and replace it with a new SFI freezer enclosure.
Freezer enclosures are built on-site by SFI personnel, experienced and skilled in field fabrication of our stainless steel equipment.
Doors, roof and wall sections are pre-fabricated in our Springfield, Missouri facility prior to shipping to the field resulting in less time on-site.
