Cooling tunnel for Pet container hot fill cooling
In hot fill production lines, managing the cooling of products in PET containers is vital. Excessive heat can cause significant changes to the product’s quality and flavor. Rapid cooling is essential to ensure product integrity while also speeding up the downstream processes like labeling and packaging.
Expedite cooling to preserve product quality
The Accutek Cooling Tunnel is engineered to expedite the cooling process for products in PET containers on hot fill production lines. Utilizing a water spray system, it rapidly reduces the temperature of filled containers to prevent deterioration that can occur at higher temperatures. The cooling system enhances the product’s integrity and maintains its flavor. Constructed from stainless steel and featuring a temperature-resistant conveyor, the tunnel operates using a three-zone design for maximum efficiency and conservation of water and power. It also includes a hot water recycling system and a sealed electrical cabinet for additional durability and safety. With variable production speed and options for indexing systems at both infeed and discharge points, the Accutek Cooling Tunnel is designed for efficiency and adaptability.
