Description
WHAT IS
KALTENPLUS?
The cooling tunnel KALTENPLUS designed and manufactured by FECOATEC, is a completely automatic machine for controlled cooling of different food products.
It is a straight conveyor, single-stage, with insulating removable covers. Product is conveyed and cooled by Convection-Conduction and Radiation through cooling air at controlled temperature and humidity.
It is remarkable the hygienic design of the cooling tunnel, the accessibility for both sides of it, and the high efficiency in heat exchanging (cooling).
WHAT IS KALTENPLUS
FOR?
From small to large-scale productions, available in widths from 400 mm to 2.000 mm, and with adapted lengths according to each application, of up to 100 meters.
It is the best solution for cooling with controlled temperature and humidity, of many products such as biscuits, pralines, cereal bars, caramel, pastries… and products enrobed with chocolate or any other fat that requires crystallization.
It is remarkable the cooling of chocolate enrobed products, as cooling is always done at same conditions, ensuring a good gloss, long shelf life and proper crystallization.
All parameters of the cooling tunnel KALTENPLUS are adjustable from touch screen HMI of the machine.

MAIN FEATURES.
- Hygienic design, all parts in contact with product are easy to clean and maintain.
- Modular design of the cooling tunnel, consisting in 2-meter length sections.
- All cooling tunnels KALTENPLUS, are fully manufactured in stainless steel AISI304L.
- With modular sandwich-type cover, with inside and outside of the cover in stainless steel. Airtight due to perimetral gasket. With 40 mm thickness polyurethane insulation.
- Each modular cover can be opened easily from both sides or be easily removed from the cooling tunnel just pulling up. Width of each cover: 1 meter.
- Every cover can be independently opened from the others.
- Food grade, anti static, polyurethane blue color belt, for product conveying and efficient heat exchanging through it.
- Automatic double tracking of the belt, in both ends of cooling tunnel, through photocells and pneumatic cylinders.
- Automatic belt tensioning system is automatic and adjustable.
- Air cooling system integrated in the cooling tunnel, by means of cold water/glycol (from 0ºC to 10ºC inlet temperature, according to application)
- Depending on length of the cooling tunnel, from 1 to 6 cooling zones. In each cooling zone, can be set the cooling air temperature and the cooling airflow.
- Control is made by PLC and HMI (Touch Screen), for precise control of all parameters. Automatic adaptive control of the cooling air, ensures that regardless of internal conditions in cooling tunnel the air temperature is kept stable.
