Bühler delivers total plant solutions for the finishing of confectionery and cookies to premium products.

Enrobed products like confectioneries, chocolates and cookies are extremely sensitive to changing temperatures. They not only melt easily when warm, they also cool quickly under drafty conditions. Bühler cooling tunnels are thus built by specialists with vast experience in dealing with specialties and reliable controlled cooling technology.

Cooling

Whether it is a matter of gentle cooling of chocolate masses or the quick cooling of formed or baked products – Bühler cooling technology is suited to the most varied purposes. Bühler always offers the individually custom-ized cooling tunnel.

The universal cooling tunnels UKK and BKK cool the chocolate coatings of refined confectioneries in a gentle way to attain the exact crystallization. Delicate cookie types and extrusion-formed masses are impressively cooled using time-saving and efficient cooling.

The high-performance cooling tunnel HKK offers the highly efficient and quick cooling of products in the smallest space. This makes it ideal for the cooling of hot products directly after an oven or a mold press in order to pre-pare them as quickly as possible for cutting, enrobing or packaging. Perfect cooling transfer brings about high efficiency.

Cooling tunnels are one of the biggest energy consumers in the production process. In view of marked energy saving and efficiency, Bühler has equipped the cooling tunnels with effective thermal insulation and excellent sealing for years and can thus prevent thermal bridging. In addition intelligent control systems with high temperature sensitivity only use as much energy in the plant as is actually needed for the desired result. All these details keep operating costs under control and make all the difference.
