Eurotek Belt Chiller

• Rapid cooling of cooked or processed food products such as chips, vegetables, and ready meals.
• Post-pasteurisation cooling for various food items to extend shelf life.
• Temperature reduction of bulk ingredients in preparation for further processing or packaging.
• Cooling applications in non-food industries requiring continuous product temperature control.

Cooling capacity

Typically designed for high-volume throughput, capable of reducing product temperatures by significant differentials, such as +80°C to +2°C for several tonnes per hour.

Refrigerant type

Units of this class commonly operate with DX (Direct Expansion) systems, adaptable for refrigerants such as Freon or Ammonia, depending on the installation and regulatory requirements.

Construction material

Process-contact parts and coils are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance, suitable for food processing environments.

Defrost system

Hot water defrost systems are commonly integrated for efficient removal of ice build-up during continuous operation.

Belt width

For this model, the '1200' in the model number likely indicates a belt width of approximately 1200mm, allowing for substantial product spread.

Belt length

The '6500' in the model number typically refers to a cooling section length of around 6500mm, providing ample residence time for effective chilling.

Power supply

Industrial chillers of this capacity typically require a robust three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

• What maintenance is typically required for a belt chiller?

  Routine maintenance typically involves cleaning the belt and cooling coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting motor and drive components, and verifying sensor calibration. Regular servicing ensures optimal performance and longevity.

• Can this type of chiller be adapted for different products?

• What are the typical space requirements for a belt chiller of this size?

• Is specialist installation required for a DX system belt chiller?

• What are the energy consumption considerations for a belt chiller?

Chillers and recirculating coolers hold strong reputation in laboratory and biotech sectors for temperature stability and process reliability. Buyers typically prioritise checking refrigeration system condition, pump functionality, and temperature control accuracy when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment favours models with robust construction and established service records. Common strengths include consistent cooling performance, energy efficiency relative to age, and durability when properly maintained. Verification of calibration history and cooling capacity specifications remains essential before purchase to ensure suitability for sensitive applications.
