Cryogenic screw conveyor for food processing
In the food processing industry, maintaining the right texture and temperature of products before grinding is crucial for quality. Traditional methods can be inefficient and labor-intensive, making it necessary to find more effective solutions for cooling and conveying products simultaneously.
Simultaneous conveying and cooling
The cryogenic screw conveyor by Dohmeyer is designed to convey, cool, mix, and blend components while moving the product. It injects liquid nitrogen droplets or CO2 dry ice into the conveyor, ensuring efficient and homogeneous cooling or freezing. Exhaust fans are employed to extract waste gases. The conveyor housing can be opened easily for cleaning and access to the auger, and special paddles can be added to ensure a uniform mix of the product. This system is tailored for seamless integration with both continuous and batch production systems, significantly saving time and reducing labor costs compared to conventional methods.
Benefits
- Efficient cooling and freezing with liquid nitrogen or CO2
- Reduces labor costs and handling
- Homogeneous mix with special paddles
- Easy access and cleaning of the auger
- Suitable for continuous and batch production systems
