Cooling screw conveyor for peeled potatoes and potato slices
After the thermal step, the core temperature has to come down quickly without damaging the product. The cooling screw conveyor handles temperature control and transport in a single unit, saving an entire transfer point.

Cooling: our designs
Every design is engineered for your raw product, its degree of soiling and your target capacity.

Design
What matters when sizing the machine.
This is the information we need to recommend the right design and size for you.
-
01
Target temperature
To which core temperature does the product need to come down, and how fast?
-
02
Incoming condition
Straight from the cooker or blancher, the product arrives hot and soft. The cooling section is designed for that.
-
03
Conveying path
Because the screw conveys at the same time, it replaces a transfer point. Length and incline follow from the layout.

Product care
Cooked produce is delicate. Screw geometry and speed are matched to it.

On the target temperature and time, on the incoming condition of the product and on the layout. Straight from the cooker or blancher the product arrives hot and soft, and the cooling section is designed for that.
Because the screw conveys at the same time, length and incline also follow from the path to the next station.
Cooked produce is delicate. That is why we match screw geometry and speed to the product.
The core temperature should come down quickly without damaging the product. To which temperature and in what time is one of the details we need before we quote.
