Pasta cooling tunnel DROP

The Drop Tunnel, which is a machine that is completely designed and tailor-made for the customer, is ideal to cool and deep-freeze all small-sized loose products that need to be handled during processing in order to keep them from arriving agglomerated at outfeed. The tunnel uses a parallel and opposite tiered structure that enables treated products to move along their path with little drops downwards in order to keep them from sticking and a carinated evaporator that permits forced ventilation on the tiers in order to evenly cover the products. This machine is perfect for ravioli, tortellini, pelmeni, cannelloni, etc. Technical specifications: Handling is carried out by means of a series of tiers that, connected between them via a chain/pinion carinated system, carries a belt that creates an alternating tier by tier path, all powered by a single motor reducer. The belt used is a low voltage modulating belt, which has the following characteristics: · made of certified plastic material, it enables direct contact with loose foods; · working temperature -40°C/+90°C; · low friction coefficient, elevated resistance to wear and tear and traction ensure greater reliability and durability over time; · the joining hinges, designed for the passage of detergents, guarantee superior levels of sanitation to standard ones; · the belt surfaces are non-stick to allow perfect detachment of the product and residues during cleaning; · the design is developed to eliminate/reduce marking of treated products. The entire machine structure is made of stainless steel with special techniques to ensure maximum sanitisation during washing.
