conveyor cooling
conveyor cooling
(OP)
I've been given a project to cool down a conveyor before the food product is transferred on it, this is in a food factory and needs to be waterproof, I was going to use a motor I don't think this would work, any suggestions would be appreciated





RE: conveyor cooling
What is the conveyor made of?
First thought is to run it under fan blowing cold air on it. Or run it through a refrigerated tunnel.
You mentioned the need to be waterproof, can you wash cold water over it?
RE: conveyor cooling
cant use cold water due it being food product
any ideas of fans that blow cold air
I was thinking of this but might have to cover it due to hygiene washing everything down

How is it being cleaned? If the conveyor is being washed with water, why not add a final 'cooling rinse' before you blow dry it? If you use filtered or RO water, you won't/shouldn't have a hygiene problem. If you really want, run the conveyor under a UV light to kill germs just before you deposit food product on it.

The obvious solution is to extend the tome the belt spends in the freezer before the product is added. Can you extend the freezer by adding a cold tunnel/hood along the belt. Add a fan to force convection from the belt.
