Applications
Suitable for balms, salves, ointments, waxes, creams and other hot-filled semi-solid products. It can also cool chocolate, confectionery and bakery products after forming, coating or processing
Control Panel
Controls the cooling tunnel’s operating status and parameters, enabling start, stop, and adjustment of cooling and conveying functions for precise control and stable operation.
Maintenance Access Door
Provides access to the inside of the cooling tunnel for cleaning, inspection, and maintenance. The sealed design helps prevent cold air leakage and improves refrigeration efficiency.
Reciprocating Conveyor System
Extends the product travel distance and cooling time inside the tunnel through a back-and-forth conveying path, ensuring more uniform and sufficient cooling while saving space.
Evaporator
Generates cold air through refrigerant circulation and heat exchange, providing stable cooling for fast and uniform product temperature reduction.
Refrigerant Receiver
Stores and regulates liquid refrigerant to ensure a stable refrigerant supply, reduce fluctuations, and improve the stability and efficiency of the refrigeration cycle.
Condenser Fan
Enhances condenser heat dissipation by forcing airflow, helping refrigerant release heat and complete the condensation process for efficient and stable refrigeration performance.
