Cooling tunnel for Pet container hot fill cooling
Ensure product integrity with a cooling tunnel that swiftly reduces PET container temperatures after hot filling, optimizing your production line for seamless labeling and packaging.
Rapidly Cools and Prepares PET Bottled Products
The Accutek Cooling Tunnel is engineered to expedite the cooling of PET bottled products on hot fill lines. Featuring a robust stainless steel construction, this system employs a three-stage water spray design to efficiently lower product temperatures, preventing flavor degradation and facilitating downstream labeling and packaging. With variable production speeds and a capacity to process up to 3,000 liters per hour, it accommodates diverse applications such as juices, sauces, and nutritional drinks. Energy conservation is enhanced by its hot water recycling system and sealed electrical cabinet. The tunnel supports smooth integration into existing production lines and offers customization options, including indexing systems and cooling towers.
