FTNON Counter-flow cooler

for potato products

Movement of water through the product fill during cooling results in more efficient heat exchange. In the light of this phenomenon Food Technology Noord-Oost Nederland B.V. (FTNON) has recently updated the counter-flow system of its cooling installation for potato products.
By not only introducing the cooling water at the outlet end, but also draining it off at various points on the sides and reintroducing it using several pumps in stages over the whole of the underneath, the product is continuously kept in motion. The water is able to flow efficiently through the product, resulting in better heat removal and better yield from the cooling water.
FTNON’s new counter-flow cooler consists of a screw body mounted in a horizontal frame. A conveyor screw is fitted in the body. This screw is constructed in such a way that the product passes through the cooler continuously. In addition, the play between screw and wall is minimal, so that the chances of product damage are reduced to a minimum.
The product is removed by a separately driven ferris wheel, giving continuous removal.

• screw blades set to FTNON design
