Industrial Air-Cooling Mesh Belt Conveyor
The ZONESUN ZS-CT5 is an industrial air-cooling conveyor for roasted nuts, fried foods and other compatible products. Multiple fans, an adjustable-speed mesh belt and a drainage tray support cooling and surface water removal before downstream handling or packaging.
Built with SUS304 stainless steel and an 800 mm wide belt, it is available in 3 m / 6-fan (800–1000 kg/hour) and 4 m / 8-fan (1000–1500 kg/hour) configurations, using 380 V, 50 Hz power.

- Washed produce: assisting removal of surface water from suitable vegetables and fruits.
- Packaging bags and pouches: removing external droplets and cooling compatible packaged products.
Machine Details
Control Panel
Physical controls manage conveyor speed and fan operation, with an emergency stop.
Fan Cooling
Airflow helps remove residual heat as products travel through the cooling section.
Mesh Belt Conveyor
The perforated belt transports products while allowing drainage to the tray below.
Multiple Blowers
Blowers direct air across products to assist cooling and surface moisture removal.
SUS304 Construction
Stainless steel construction supports routine cleaning and maintenance.
Key Features and Benefits
- Multiple-fan airflow: supports heat removal along the conveyor.
- Adjustable belt speed: changes product residence time in the cooling section.
- Mesh belt transport: provides an open conveying surface for airflow and drainage.
- Drainage tray: collects water draining from products beneath the belt.
- Two line lengths: 3 m and 4 m configurations suit different installation and throughput needs.
- Continuous handling: can be arranged between processing equipment and downstream operations.
How the Air-Cooling Conveyor Works
- Feed the products: distribute compatible products across the mesh belt.
- Set conveyor speed: choose the residence time required for the process.
- Apply airflow: fans move air over the products to assist heat and surface moisture removal.
- Collect drainage: water passing through the belt is collected underneath.
- Discharge: transfer products to the next processing or packaging stage.
How to Select Your Cooling Conveyor
- Product: type, dimensions, weight and handling sensitivity.
- Cooling target: incoming temperature and required discharge temperature.
- Loading: hourly throughput, layer thickness and distribution across the belt.
- Moisture: whether the task is cooling, surface water removal or both.
- Installation: available length, upstream/downstream conveyor heights and 380 V supply.
- Environment: room temperature, humidity and cleaning requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ZS-CT5 used for?
It conveys compatible food products or packaged items through fan-driven airflow for cooling and surface moisture removal.
Which configurations are available?
The listed options are a 3 m conveyor with 6 fans and a 4 m conveyor with 8 fans, both supplied in 380 V configurations.
What are the throughput ranges?
The listed ranges are 800–1000 kg/hour for the 3 m version and 1000–1500 kg/hour for the 4 m version.
Can the conveyor speed be adjusted?
Yes. Adjustable belt speed allows the residence time to be set for the product and process.
Is it a refrigerated cooling tunnel?
The supplied specifications describe fan-driven air cooling and do not list a refrigeration system. Share your required discharge temperature when choosing the setup.
Can it dry washed vegetables or packaging bags?
It can assist surface water removal from compatible produce and packaging. It is not a substitute for a drying process intended to remove internal product moisture.
What affects the cooling result?
Incoming product temperature, product size, layer thickness, belt speed and ambient air conditions affect the cooling result.
What information is needed for a quotation?
