Industrial cooling system for packaging temperature control

Achieve precise temperature control and maximize energy efficiency in your production line with a robust cooling system designed to swiftly bring products to optimal packaging conditions while maintaining their quality.

Cools and Conveys Pasta and Snack Products

The F – Cooler from GEA is an industrial cooling conveyor designed to precisely cool and convey pasta and snack products like fusilli, potato chips, and cornflakes. Featuring a robust ventilation system with inverter-controlled ventilators, it utilizes freon/glycolyzed water to maintain optimal cooling. This equipment integrates seamlessly into food processing lines, supporting continuous, automated operations for efficient throughput. With stainless steel construction and rinsing ramps, maintenance is straightforward and contamination-free. Its versatile design can handle diverse product types, accommodating belt widths from 1500 to 2000 mm and cooling chamber lengths ranging from 4 to 12 meters, while offering up to 20 minutes of production accumulation. Ideal for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, the F – Cooler supports maximum energetic efficiency and streamlined integration.
