Freezing and cooling systems for bakery products
Enhance your bakery production line with advanced freezing and cooling systems, designed to optimize product quality and efficiency by ensuring precise temperature and moisture control during the crucial post-baking phase.
Cools, Stores, and Conveys Baked Goods Efficiently
The TOR Storage and Cooling Tower from GEA is designed for bakery producers seeking enhanced efficiency in space-constrained environments. This cooling tower integrates seamlessly into your production line, replacing traditional horizontal conveyors with a vertical tiered system for cooling and storing baked goods such as cookies, cakes, and breads. The system automates loading and unloading of trays, reducing manual handling and increasing throughput. Capable of natural and controlled cooling processes, the TOR ensures optimal moisture control and product quality. Its modular design allows customization to fit your plant’s specific capacity requirements, enhancing both integration and performance. With the ability to operate continuously and at high speeds, the TOR tower is an integral component for food manufacturers looking to streamline their processes.
