Project Background

A customer in the United Kingdom planned to install a 10-meter cooling tunnel for their cookie and egg-based products. However, due to limited workshop length, a standard straight cooling tunnel could not fit into the existing production layout.

To solve this challenge, the customer proposed a concept for a turning cooling tunnel, allowing products to change direction during cooling while maintaining continuous operation.

Customer Requirements

• Total cooling length of 10 meters

• Adaptation to limited factory space

• Products to enter from Conveyor A and exit from Conveyor B

• Smooth and stable transfer between conveyors

• Ability to visually monitor products during operation

Our Customized Solution

Based on the customer’s idea and production requirements, we designed and manufactured a customized turning cooling tunnel with the following features:

• Two straight cooling conveyors connected by a turning conveyor in the middle, allowing a smooth 90-degree product transfer

• Continuous cooling process while changing direction, ensuring stable product flow

• Optimized airflow and temperature distribution throughout the cooling tunnel

• Glass observation windows installed along the tunnel, enabling operators to clearly observe product movement and cooling conditions in real time

This customized design allowed the customer to achieve the required cooling length without extending the workshop, making full use of the available space.

Results and Customer Feedback

After installation and testing, the cooling tunnel operated smoothly and met all production expectations. Products moved steadily from Conveyor A, through the turning section, and exited via Conveyor B with no disruption to product quality or line efficiency.

The customer was very satisfied with the finished cooling tunnel, especially appreciating:

• The flexible turning design

• Stable and continuous operation

• Clear visibility of products through the glass windows

• The successful realization of their original concept

The customer provided highly positive feedback, confirming that the customized cooling tunnel fully met their production and layout needs.

Conclusion

This project demonstrates our ability to deliver custom-engineered cooling tunnel solutions based on specific customer requirements. By closely collaborating with the UK customer and translating their idea into a reliable, production-ready system, we successfully solved a space-limitation challenge while maintaining performance and product quality.

Customized cooling tunnels with turning conveyors offer an effective solution for manufacturers facing layout constraints, especially in European production facilities where space optimization is critical.
