An apparatus for shell freezing a liquid content in a container, comprising an endless loop conveyor having a conveying length adapted to convey plural containers such as pharmaceutical vials, incorporating plural rollers to spin the containers as they are conveyed by the conveyor, and a return length, along at least part of the return length the rollers are immersed in a cooling liquid at a temperature below the freezing point of the liquid content of the containers, and along the conveying length the rollers are entirely above the surface of the cooling liquid. A preferred cooling liquid is liquid nitrogen, the evaporating vapour of which can be used to shield vials on the conveying length.
