Chilled air cooling is an excellent choice when parts need to be throughly cooled. Standard chilled air cooling units include a blower and coils mounted in an enclosure over the conveyor belt. Chilled water is provided by the customer’s chiller or tower. Cooling chambers can be placed on flat or incline conveyors. Indexing the conveyor belt can help to maximize time in the cooling chamber. Blowers can be variable or fixed speed.

Custom cooling enclosures can be added to almost any EMI conveyor or automatic container filling system. Cooling units can also be retro-fitted in the field on existing EMI conveyors.

Cooling units can be configured to fit almost any conveying application, including automated box filling units. Cooling units such as these, fitted onto the infeed conveyor of a box filling application, maximize the savings from automated systems by allowing cycle times to be reduced as much as possible. Features on this application include:

• Finned heat exchanger.
• Process water hook ups - for tower water or portable chiller, water supplies.
• Variable speed blower fan.
• Side entry chute - for hot parts coming from an under press chute.
• Total enclosure - keeps cool air around parts; forces hot air out the ends.
• Variable speed conveyor belt - allows you to control how long parts are in the chilled air environment.
• Condensation drip tube.
