Industrial water cooling system for food products
Efficiently cool and convey food products with a system designed for uniform temperature control, ensuring both the quality and safety of your pasta, snacks, and breakfast cereals in continuous production environments.
Immerses and Cools Products Continuously
The RF – Industrial Water Cooler by GEA Group is engineered to efficiently manage cooling in food production lines, specifically for pasta, snacks, and breakfast cereals. Its specialized conveying system immerses products in glycolyzed, temperature-controlled water, ensuring consistent and uniform cooling. Ideal for fresh pasta and cereals, it supports products like ravioli, granola bars, and ready-to-eat flakes. Capable of handling solid and liquid forms, the cooler seamlessly integrates into continuous operations, with PLC controls for precise water temperature and cooling time management. Constructed in stainless steel, it includes an automated multilayer opening for easy access during cleaning and maintenance, preventing product stagnation and ensuring quick sanitization with a rinsing ramp. The cooling system is designed for energy efficiency with a recirculation pump and adjustable sprays, while the robust construction meets industrial standards, making it a reliable choice for food and beverage manufacturers.
