Cooling tunnel for cream-filled wafer blocks

Ensure your wafer products maintain optimal texture and integrity with a state-of-the-art cooling solution designed for precision and efficiency in controlling temperatures for delicate cream-filled creations.

Cools and Buffers Wafer Blocks

The Franz Haas KKH Wafer Block Cooling Tunnel by Bühler is designed to enhance cooling efficiency in wafer production lines, preventing deformation of delicate confectionery products. It maintains a constant temperature of 8–10°C through a thermostat-controlled system, ideal for cream-filled and nut-studded wafer blocks. The tunnel features horizontal conveyor systems crafted from stainless steel or durable polymers, enabling easy cleaning and minimizing contamination risks. This equipment integrates seamlessly into high-speed lines, ensuring gentle handling with a light barrier-controlled entry. With comprehensive access from all sides via insulated doors, the cooling tunnel is simple to maintain and capable of supporting continuous operations. Its robust construction allows custom configurations to fit varied production requirements in the confectionery and baked goods industries.

Benefits

  • Ensures product integrity with gentle, horizontal cooling that minimizes structural damage to wafer blocks.
