High-capacity pouch cooling system
In food processing, cooling liquid food products like soups and sauces in pouches can be challenging. Traditional methods like water deluge belts or spiral freezers are often inefficient, leading to longer cooling times and potential product damage.
Accelerates pouch cooling with submerged water
The Chill-Flow™ Pouch Cooler by Lyco Manufacturing is a high-capacity continuous cooling system designed for efficiently chilling hot-filled soups, sauces, and other liquid food products in various pouch sizes. Unlike traditional cooling methods, the Chill-Flow™ employs a submerged water cooling technique that significantly speeds up the cooling process. The system utilizes Lyco’s proprietary Hydro-Flow® technology, ensuring gentle water agitation and consistent cooling from 130°F (54.4°C) to 80°F (26.7°C), thereby moving products quickly through the bacterial danger zone. The process is entirely water-submerged, preventing pouch damage and ensuring even cooling. Ideal for pouches as small as restaurant ketchup packs to large 5-10 pound bags, the system guarantees a final product temperature of 40°F, enhancing food safety and shelf life.
