Cooling Tunnels

Process Systems Services manufactures a range of industrial in-line cooling tunnels. The PSS cooling tunnel was primarily developed for chocolate production but may be used for a range of confectionery or other food products.

Extensively manufactured from Stainless Steel and designed with easy access for cleaning, these tunnels will meet the stringent hygiene requirements of the food industry.

Hinged hoods, supported in the open position by gas struts, enable the product and / or belt to be inspected at any point along the tunnel. A dual-flow air recirculation system provides excellent cooling over the surface of the product and the return air-path, underneath the belt, provides additional contact cooling of the product from below. This is ideal for the cooling of chocolate enrobed products.
PSS Cooling tunnels can be supplied with belt widths from 600 mm to 1200 mm and almost any practicable length. Cooler modules are manufactured in 2,400 mm sections in order to simplify site installation. The modular construction also allows for extension of the tunnel as the business production requirement grow.

An integral refrigeration unit is provide which can have a local or remote condensing unit. Larger tunnels may have more than one refrigeration module.
