Kerry Spiral Cooler

• Rapid cooling of baked goods such as bread, pastries, and pizza bases.
• Chilling of cooked meats, poultry, and ready meals to extend shelf life.
• Cooling of confectionery products like chocolates and sweets after moulding.
• Temperature reduction for various food products prior to packaging.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment is highly variable, depending on product type, belt speed, and cooling requirements. Units with twin drums and multiple tiers, such as this one, are designed for high-volume continuous processing.

Belt width

This unit features a 400mm wide belt, commonly found on industrial spiral coolers for accommodating various product sizes.

Product gap

A 125mm product gap is suitable for a range of products, from flat items like pizza bases to more volumetric products.

Number of tiers

With 23 tiers per drum, this configuration offers a substantial cooling length within a compact footprint.

Construction material

The stainless steel frame is standard for food processing equipment, ensuring hygiene and durability.

Power supply

Spiral coolers typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with specific amperage depending on the refrigeration capacity and motor sizes.

Refrigeration system

This unit is a cooler, implying it integrates with an external refrigeration system. Buyers should verify if the chiller unit itself includes the refrigeration plant or if it requires connection to an existing central system.

• What is a spiral cooler?

  A spiral cooler is a continuous cooling system that uses a long conveyor belt, typically in a helical or spiral configuration, to transport products through a refrigerated environment. This design maximises cooling time within a minimal floor space.

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.
