After cooking, cooking or spinning, a controlled cooling process is essential to maintain product quality, food safety and yield. A spiral cooler from Van Abeelen Food Processing Technology ensures a uniform and efficient cooling of your products before they are further frozen if necessary.
With a controlled air temperature of approximately +1 °C, heat is effectively extracted from the product, while structure, flavor and appearance remain intact.
Optimal preparation for the freezing process
A spiral cooler prepares products for the next production step in a controlled manner. This can involve packaging, slicing or freezing. The uniform cooling ensures greater control over the process and maintains the final quality at a stable level.
Spiral cooler before the spiral freezer
In many production lines, a spiral cooler is placed before a spiral freezer. By cooling the product first, a large part of the heat load is removed before the product enters the freezer.
This makes the freezing process more efficient and more manageable.
- Less required freezing capacity in the spiral freezer
- Lower energy consumption during freezing
- More efficient utilization of the freezing facility
- Higher capacity or shorter stay time in the freezer
- A more stable and better controllable freezing process
Constant quality through controlled air distribution
Our spiral coolers are designed to distribute air evenly across all levels of the spiral. This ensures that each product receives the same cooling conditions and maintains a constant final temperature.
- Even cooling of each product
- Preservation of structure, moisture content and appearance
- Less product loss
- Optimal preparation for packaging, cutting or freezing
- Reliable operation at high production capacities
Hygiene design and reliable performance
The spiral coolers are developed to meet the high demands of the food industry. High-quality materials, simple cleaning, and maintenance-friendly constructions ensure a reliable installation suitable for continuous use.
Applications
Spiral coolers are used, among other things, for:
- Baked products
- Bread and bakery products
- Pizzas
- Snacks
- Ready meals
- Cured meat products
- Vegetable and vegetarian products
