Planning Solutions

To deliver an efficient and reliable cooling solution, we carefully evaluated the client’s produce-handling process. The company needed a system to cool and clean boxed produce on pallets before moving them into cold storage. After identifying the workflow challenges, we designed a hydrocooler system equipped with a chain conveyor. This conveyor steadily moves pallets through an arctic rain shower, where chilled water cools and washes the produce.

Our planning focused on creating a seamless transition between processes. The pallets exit the cooling chamber and move directly into the cold storage room, maintaining optimal freshness. By streamlining these operations, we reduced cooling times and improved efficiency. Every step in the planning phase prioritized the client’s need for precision, speed, and freshness.

Innovative System Design

The hydrocooler features an innovative design tailored to the needs of the produce industry. At its core, the system uses a chain conveyor to transport pallets through a cooling and washing chamber. The arctic rain shower technology applies a steady cascade of chilled water, which quickly reduces produce temperatures while also washing away debris. This dual-functionality ensures both cleanliness and freshness in a single step.

To maximize durability and reliability, the system incorporates stainless steel components and automated controls. The conveyor accommodates various pallet sizes, allowing the client to handle multiple types of produce efficiently. Furthermore, the integration of precise temperature control ensures that each batch meets quality standards without compromise.

Efficient Cooling and Delivery

This hydrocooler provides a highly efficient cooling solution designed to preserve produce quality. The arctic rain shower rapidly cools boxed produce by circulating chilled water over the pallets. As the conveyor moves the produce through the system, it ensures every box receives even cooling. This process eliminates heat pockets and minimizes temperature variations, guaranteeing consistent results.

After the pallets complete their journey through the hydrocooler, the conveyor deposits them directly into the cold storage room. By maintaining a controlled environment throughout the entire process, the system reduces handling time and ensures maximum freshness from start to finish.

Tailored to Industry Needs

This hydrocooler system was customized to address the specific challenges of the produce industry. We designed the chain conveyor to handle boxed produce on pallets with ease, ensuring smooth transitions throughout the cooling and washing process. The arctic rain shower was calibrated for different produce types, delivering effective cooling without causing damage to delicate items.

Additionally, we integrated the hydrocooler with the client’s cold storage facilities, creating a seamless connection between cooling and storage. This integration reduced the risk of temperature fluctuations, helping the client maintain produce quality for longer periods. By focusing on the industry’s exact needs, we delivered a solution that maximizes efficiency, preserves freshness, and enhances overall operations.
