Rotary drum cooling machine

€0.00

The rotary drum cooler is designed for efficient pre-cooling, stopping the cooking process, and cooling of boiled, blanched, fried, baked, or thermally processed foods. The rotating perforated drum ensures uniform cooling together with the additional water supply.

Uniform cooling
Adjustable drum speed
Made entirely out of stainless steel
Suitable for a wide range of food products

The rotary drum cooler is an effective solution for quickly reducing the temperature of foods after boiling, blanching, frying, or baking.

The inclined rotating drum gently moves the product, allowing it to cool evenly during rotation, removing excess heat and surface moisture. Depending on requirements, the unit can operate with cold or iced water and can be equipped with a fine-mesh screen for fine-grained products such as grains, legumes, and others.

Cooling is achieved by circulating water in a rotating drum. This makes the drum cooler ideal for stabilizing product quality, cooling faster, stopping thermal processes, preserving texture, and preparing the product for packaging or further processing.

Ideal for cooling vegetables and plant-based products after blanching and cooking, such as:

Potatoes	Peas	Zucchini
Carrots	Beans	Pumpkin cubes
Beets	Onions	Various root vegetables

As well as protein products:

Meat pieces	Cereals	Boiled or roasted
Roasted nuts	Fried appetizers	Shrimp
Pasta	Appetizers and delicacies	Mussels
Legumes	Legumes	Squid rings

And other products requiring rapid stabilization after heat treatment.

Advantages

The frame, drum, and legs made entirely out of stainless steel
Perforated drum optimized for rapid heat dissipation
Drum geometry ensures smooth yet efficient product movement
Drum speed adjustment via an electronic frequency converter
Inlet and outlet chutes included
Optional discharge conveyor for a smooth workflow
Efficient water use and additional filtration for recirculation

Basic version

Includes a stainless steel frame supporting a perforated drum with a drive. The unit is equipped with a water inlet and outlet system, the drum angle can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the support structure's legs to control the speed of product flow through the cooler.

Operating principle

Product is fed into the rotating drum manually or via an optional inlet conveyor. As the drum rotates, the product is gently mixed and moved to the discharge outlet. Cold water is supplied to the unit, which, after spraying the product through a perforated drum, flows out into a drain for disposal.

The cooled product is unloaded manually or using an optional height-adjustable conveyor. Continuous water exchange ensures consistent cooling efficiency, while perforations allow warm water and excess surface moisture to drain away.
