Cooling tunnel for artisanal biscuits and chocolates

Streamline your confectionery production with a cooling solution designed for precision. Optimize the cooling process of chocolate-coated treats, maintaining quality and texture from start to finish.

Cools Chocolates and Biscuits Consistently

The Cooling Tunnel Light by Prefamac Chocolate Machines offers artisanal confectioners, chocolatiers, and biscuit manufacturers a specialized solution for cooling chocolate-coated products. This equipment guides products through one or more cooling zones using a conveyor belt, ensuring consistent and efficient temperature control. Ideal for chocolate-coated biscuits, artisan chocolates, truffles, and gourmet confectionery, it operates within a limited belt width and length, making it particularly suitable for artisanal production settings. The tunnel’s width options are 400 and 500 mm, with lengths of 8 and 10 meters as standard, supporting continuous cooling operations.

Equipped with a single-jacketed and insulated design, the Cooling Tunnel Light integrates seamlessly into existing production lines. It features a direct or indirect convection cooling system, offering flexibility through digital thermostat controls for each zone. Constructed from pearled stainless steel with sturdy PVC foam covers, this tunnel ensures hygienic working conditions and easy cleaning with removable covers and belt scrapers. Prefamac’s craftsmanship delivers durability, with minimal wear over years of use. Furthermore, the machine’s design means no on-site assembly is required, simplifying installation by just needing electrical and compressed air connections. This equipment exemplifies Prefamac’s commitment to quality and tailored solutions for the confectionery industry.
