Industrial water cooling system for food products
In processes like fresh pasta and snack production, cooling freshly cooked products quickly is essential to prevent overcooking. This cooling significantly affects the final texture and shelf life of the product.

Immerses products in controlled cool water
The RF Water Cooler from GEA is designed to immerse food products in water to cool them efficiently. It features a plastic conveying belt with upturned sides to keep the product in place. The belt moves the product through an insulated water tank containing cool water maintained at a constant temperature by an external heat exchanger. This setup, managed by a PLC-controlled modulating valve, ensures uniform cooling through adjustable sprays. Cooling parameters like water temperature and residence time can be finely controlled, providing flexibility for various food products. Made of stainless steel, the system allows easy cleaning and maintenance, with an accessible design to prevent stagnation and facilitate quick washing. Belt usable width ranges between 1000-1200 mm, and the cooling length is between 3-6 meters, making it adaptable to different production scales.
