The belt cooler is used to decrease rapidly the temperature of fresh filled pasta and pasta sheet, previously treated to the values required to guarantee the compliant shelf-life for the sales distribution . The cooling phase is very quick to avoid the re-activity of the enzymes and the proliferation of bacteria and thermo-sensible microorganisms. Residence time and treatment temperature are set according to the characteristic of the fresh pasta product ,as well as the request in terms of conservation once the pasta is packed. The equipment size and dimensions are customized according to the specific cooling treatment needs. As standard, the last belt/s is dedicated to gather the product (stockpile) in case the pasta product is then processed by a packing machine. The continue solution where the product falls over several horizontal conveyor belts is suitable for a long time . Technologies for the food industry Pasta Technologies Group s.r.l.
