Industrial spiral cooler for thermal treatment
Improve your final conditioning and packaging process with a spiral cooler designed to efficiently adjust product temperatures, ensuring optimal freshness and quality for foods like pasta, snacks, and cereals before they reach the packaging stage.
Cools and Conveys Food Products
The Spiral Cooler from GEA Group is engineered to enhance the cooling and conveying stages for food processing operations. Distinguished by its spiral configuration and robust stainless-steel structure, it ensures efficient air cooling through a ventilation system utilizing freon/glycol-water and inverter-controlled ventilators. Ideal for producing spaghetti, potato chips, cornflakes, tortellini, and granola bars, it supports a range of food processing applications. The machine features 3 to 6 belts with widths of 1500-2000 mm, cooling lengths of 4-12 meters, and operates continuously with full automation. Its design optimizes airflow, maintaining uniform temperatures and preventing product stagnation, while openable lateral panels and rinsing ramps facilitate easy and efficient cleaning. Customizable belt configurations allow for reduced spiral footprints, supporting seamless integration into existing production lines.
