Industrial food cooler for pasta, rice, and vegetables
Rapidly reduce temperatures to halt cooking and preserve quality in your food processing line with an ultra-fast cooler designed for efficiency and precision.
Rapidly Cools and Quenches Particulate Foods
The Easy-Flow Ultra-Fast Cooling System by Lyco Manufacturing revolutionizes rapid cooling in food processing lines, targeting pasta, rice, vegetables, and more. With its multi-stage cooling principle, food products are swiftly and uniformly cooled from 200°F to below 40°F in under 30 seconds, ensuring high-quality output. Designed for continuous, high-speed operation, it handles up to 5,000 pounds per hour with gentle agitation and venturi action for damage-free heat removal. The system reduces energy costs by using stage one as a quench zone, with water returning to the cooker. Constructed for easy cleaning, it features removable wedge-wire dewatering sections within an open design. Fully customizable, the Easy-Flow integrates seamlessly with existing lines and offers robust engineering support for tailored solutions.
