Conveyor system for ambient product cooling
Ensure precise cooling of baked and confectionery products while maintaining lane consistency and product integrity, perfect for optimizing downstream handling and processing efficiency.

Cools and Conveys Baked and Confectionery Products
The Ambient Cooling Conveyor System from Royal Houdijk addresses critical cooling needs in food processing, specifically for bakery and confectionery operations. Designed to gradually cool products such as potato chips, tortillas, pretzels, and various types of cookies and pastries, this system ensures products reach manageable temperatures for further processing. Utilizing state-of-the-art conveyors with full belt support, it maintains product lane integrity, preventing unnecessary migration and ensuring consistent downstream processing. It operates efficiently in high-speed, continuous production environments, crucial for food manufacturers who demand reliability and precision.
This system is capable of adapting to spatial constraints with configurations like Z-shaped or Paperclip-shaped layouts, maximizing factory space utilization without compromising functionality. Automation is streamlined via PLC controls, facilitating seamless integration with existing production lines and ensuring precise operational coordination. Furthermore, the equipment is constructed to endure the robust demands of food manufacturing, with material selections designed to resist wear and accommodate frequent cleaning, thereby ensuring consistent performance and hygiene compliance.
