2875 - Penmann Cooling Tunnel


System Description:

Penmann Cooling Tunnel’s primary use is to fulfill the requirement to rapidly cool a whole range of palletized product to a dispatch temperature prior to moving to their cold store. It has been designed and installed as a fully automated "in line" cooling tunnel to deal with the high levels of production throughput. The tunnels have a narrow footprint to enable them to fit into conventional food production lines saving valuable production space. They were also designed to allow maximum access for ease of maintenance and also to minimize downtime. They were also designed with key mechanical features i.e. index loading of pallets to minimize air gaps and maximize cooling times and hence achieve maximum efficiency.

Key Features:

Narrow footprint saving production space, Reverse Air Flow to ensure even cooling, Ease of access for on-line maintenance, Indexed loading/static pressure cooling to ensure rapid chill time.

Specifications of Tunnel:

The tunnel was installed with nominal external dimensions of 17.5 mts Long x 5.55 mts wide x 4.3 mts high. The tunnel was constructed in 100 m White Polyisocyanurate paneling faced with 0.5 mm white cleanable PVC FOOD SAFE laminate finish and all the joints were sealed with silicon sealant. The tunnel has 8 Nos. of personnel doors @ 4 doors per tunnel for maintenance and other work to be carried our and 4 Nos. of electrically operated vertical lift insulated doors @ 2 per tunnel for pallet entry and exit. The doors were sited at the end of the tunnel.
