THE PRODUCT COOLING AND DEHUMIDIFICATION SYSTEM

Controlling the dough’s temperature has always been a key factor in achieving optimal and consistent quality of the finished product. Stable and controllable parameters lead to a reduction in time and costs.

Agriflex product cooling machinery uses an innovative technology – patented by Agriflex – that makes it possible to decrease the dough's temperature by as much as 20°C, ensuring a constant and homogeneous temperature through self-regulation.

The air cooling and dehumidification consists of two units – a shell and tube air cooling unit and a handling unit -, in the cooling and dehumidification system the pressurised air is channelled through the heat exchanger, where it meets a circuit in which the refrigerant circulates. The air then undergoes the progressive condensation of the humid part along the path inside the exchanger.

Subsequently, the appropriately structured air handling unit separates and drains all residual condensate. At the outset of this system, the operator can obtain completely dried cold air.

 

The advantages that our cooling solutions offer are many:

No mixing
Thanks to the closed circuit, the raw materials are not mixed with ice or other cooling elements, thus being fully compliant with the recipe and meeting health and hygiene regulations.

No thermal stress
With this automated system, temperatures are always constant and controlled. As a result, the system does not cause risky and detrimental thermal stress to the flour and – consequently – to the dough.

3.      Simplicity and efficiency

The system is extremely economical in energy consumption, and thanks to its ease of use, it does not require skilled labour.

The product cooling and dehumidification system can be combined and fully automated along with one of our best-selling solutions.
