A versatile series of cooling tunnels, available in multiple versions from laboratory scale up to the highest-capacity requirements.

Designed for cooling hard candies (sugar and sugar-free), caramels, chewy products, and chewing gum.

Provides extremely efficient cooling, enabling direct transfer from forming to packaging.

Configuration possibilities: Apollo, Mercury, Explorer, S31, S34, S40, and S38.

Cooling capacity: 400–2000 kg/h (depending on product type)

Main features

• Direct airflow with 4 axial fans for uniform distribution from the top
• All parts are fully removable for inspection and cleaning
• Three-belt system in food-grade plastic, interchangeable with stainless steel-plastic type (optional)
• Independent speed adjustment for each belt
• High clearance from the floor for easy cleaning and GMP compliance
• Cooling exchange through chilled water and steam reheating to adjust air temperature
• Stainless steel filters for quick cleaning and long service life

Specifically designed for cooling ball lollipops, preventing shape deformation during processing.

Configuration possibilities: S38 lines

Cooling capacity: up to 1200 kg/h (depending on product type)

Main features

• Frame in stainless steel
• Easy removal of covered parts for cleaning and inspection
• Sugar scrap collection drawers
• Air treatment group, including filters, cooling and reheating batteries, drop separator, and recirculation fan with motor; also provides cooling for the die set in the forming machine
• Electronic control of tunnel air temperature
• Thermostatic control of refrigeration unit and post-heating battery (18–20°C, 45–50% RH)
• Five oscillating stainless steel trays, PVC-covered
• Special cover plates available for milk lollipops

Designed for the proper cooling of gum or chewy ropes and for correct feeding to cut & wrap machines or chewy candy center sheets.

Configuration possibilities: S35 and S37 lines

Main features
