Cooling tunnel FKS



Machine description and operation


The product is supplied evenly across the full width of the transport conveyor. The product is chilled inside the tunnel using cold air. The product gives off heat to the air, which is subsequently cooled down again in an air cooler. The type of fan, conveyor and the location of both components within the configuration provide for an even distribution of air across the full width of the belt. Good distribution of air promotes uniform chilling of the individual products.

This tunnel meets the current stringent cleaning requirements: an all stainless steel interior (with special attention for sanitary design), a minimum number of legs on the floor, an easy-to-clean belt.
