Cooling tunnels: what are they and why are they needed
Cooling tunnels provide controlled temperature reduction both in series and in continuous process systems. Cooling tunnels are presented by European manufacturers FBM (Italy), Pomati (Italy). Cooling tunnels are used to cool chocolate or other confectionery masses, which are used to cover confectionery products.
Typically, a cooling tunnel consists of 2 zones. The warm product enters the air cooling zone, and then the heated air is cooled in the second zone and operates in a closed cycle.
Optional auxiliary equipment for cooling tunnels may include:
- vibrating, lifting or detachable tables;
- additional space for product processing;
- synchronization with other technological equipment.
In terms of features, some cooling tunnels are portable, washable, or modular. Others use a programmable logic controller (PLC) and feature a digital control panel. This category includes units from well-known brands in the industry, such as FBM (Italy) and Pomati (Italy). Red and green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) indicate whether the cooling equipment is on or off, and whether parameters such as temperature need to be adjusted.
Cooling tunnels: technical characteristics
To select and buy cooling tunnels, it is necessary to analyze the technical characteristics of the product. Specifications include the width of the conveyor, the material of the conveyor belt, the length of the tunnel, and the number of cooling zones. CLIMATICO FBM (Italy) is the smallest cooling tunnel, Belt speed: from 0.50 to 2 meters per minute, Adjustable electronic temperature up to 0 ° C. The ability to change the speed of the belt allows the right combination for optimal cooling of any product from praline, chocolate.
Cooling tunnels for industrial use are made of stainless steel. The number of cooling zones depends on the model and manufacturer. Equipment with both top cooling and bottom cooling is available for order in our online store. When ordering this equipment, it is necessary to take into account the length of the cooling tunnel and the width of the conveyor belt. The cooling tunnel TUNNEL 180/4 Pomati (Italy) has a width of 180 mm and a length of 4 m.
