Spiral Cooler/Chillers for<br />

the Bakery Industry<br />

held within the range of plus or minus 1 degrees.<br />

Second, The moisture content (or relative<br />

humidity) of the cooling air should be kept within<br />

the range of plus or minus 2%. This is crucial to<br />

avoid any dehydration or excessive moisturizing<br />

of the products.<br />

Third, an air speed that is generated over the<br />

products to be cooled should be approximately 1-<br />

2 meter per second, depending on their<br />

consistency. Advanced Cooling systems use<br />

gentle horizontal laminar airflow throughout the<br />

entire cooler for a perfect result.<br />

Forth, it is important to create an over pressure<br />

within the cooling area to avoid polluted air<br />

entering the insulated enclosure through any<br />

gaps especially for products with a long shelf life.<br />

Recently, Advanced Freezers from Netherlands<br />

has developed a range of spiral cooler/chillers for<br />

the bakery industry: the Advanced Cooling<br />

systems. These spiral cooler/chillers obtained a<br />

big evaluation and were supposed to represent<br />

the ideal bread-cooling concept in terms of<br />

hygiene, shelf life and product safety.<br />

Creates an Optimum Environment<br />

To ensure that the products are cooled to a<br />

consistently high standard, the advanced spiral<br />

cooler creates an optimum environment within<br />

the cooling area (insulated enclosure). This<br />

includes the use of an air-treatment or airconditioning<br />

unit which maintains a constant<br />

level of cooling, irrespective of the weather<br />

conditions of temperature either outside the<br />

building or inside the production hall, and hence<br />

guarantees top-quality products.<br />

Therein, the ideal conditions for obtaining the<br />

perfect product after cooling depend on:<br />

First, a constant temperature where the set<br />

temperature (between 15 and 25 degrees) can be<br />

Besides, to help reduce the energy costs for the<br />

process air, fresh outside air can be partly taken<br />

into the circuit as well. However, this must be<br />

filtered before entering the cooler, which is why<br />

the Advanced Cooling system offers mechanical<br />

f i l t e r s i n v a r i o u s f o r m a t s a n d f i l t e r<br />

classifications. Ultraviolet light can also be used<br />

to keep the air free of microorganisms.<br />

Designed to Meet Client's Specific Needs<br />

Also, Advanced Cooling spirals are designed in<br />

line with each client's specific needs, based on the<br />

required capacity and retention time. They are<br />

available in various belt lengths, as single or<br />

double-drum systems, and in any belt width as<br />

necessary. Advanced spiral cooler belts are<br />

usually made of stainless steel (with or without a<br />

mesh overlay) or plastic, and are available in a<br />

choice of colors.<br />

Air-Conditioning Units Are Installed Widely<br />

The air-Conditioning Units can not only be<br />

installed within the production area, which<br />

namely on top of the insulated spiral enclosure,<br />

but also can be installed outdoors in which case<br />

stainless-steel units are available.<br />
