Fresh Herbs Vacuum Cooling Machine

Vegetables Vacuum Cooling Equipment for Fresh Herbs Quick Cooling

Vacuum Cooling Equipment Brief Description

The technology is based on the phenomenon that water starts boiling at lower temperatures as the pressure decreases. In the vacuum cooler the pressure is reduced to a level where water starts boiling at 2 ⁰C. The boiling process takes away heat from the product. As an effect, products can be cooled down through and through to 1 or 2 ⁰C within 20 – 30 minutes. Even (micro-perforated) packed products can easily be cooled this way!

The quick and uniform cooling (the surface and core of the vegetable reach exact the same temperature after vacuum cooling!) results in a substantially longer shelf life of your produce. At the same time you can save on energy costs, as the vacuum cooling process is much more (cost) effective than traditional cooling technologies.

Vacuum Cooling Equipment Main Components

The size of the chamber is defined by the amount of pallets you want to cool at the same time, and their individual dimensions. The size of the chamber will decide the number of vacuum pumps to be used. For the vacuum we are using pumps of the market leaders Busch and Elmo Rietchle. These pumps hardly need maintenance, are reliable and make very little noise.

The evaporator (water catcher) inside the vacuum chamber condenses the water vapour, and ensures only dry air leaves the vacuum chamber towards the pumps.
Outside the chamber, the cold medium (R 404a) is cooled down by a refrigeration system. The compressor needed for this heat exchange process is supplied by (Germany) or by Hanbell (Taiwan).

Vacuum Cooling Equipment Features
