Hydrocooler for cooling baby carrots and potatoes
Ensure optimal temperature control and product quality by utilizing a high-speed cooling solution designed for continuous baby carrot and potato processing.
Cools and Recirculates Baby Carrots and Potatoes
The Hydrocooler HC-7800 from Sormac is an efficient solution for cooling baby carrots and potatoes, essential for food processing and agribusinesses focused on maintaining product quality and extending shelf life. This equipment employs a counterflow water recirculation system, with a stainless steel water and cooling tank paired with a chain conveyor. The process cools products through opposite-directed flow of cold water and product, optimizing heat exchange. Suitable for diameters up to 25 mm, it ensures efficient temperature reduction with dwell times up to 15 minutes and capacities ranging from 500 to 1,500 kg per hour. The HC-7800 seamlessly integrates into continuous, automated production lines, and its optional heat exchanger improves cooling efficiency. Designed for ease of maintenance, the system’s stainless steel construction provides durability and corrosion resistance, ideal for long-term use in food processing environments.
