Blast chilling systems

Powerful cooling. Preserve quality.

SORGO intensive cooling systems combine cold air, water and mist showers with compact stainless steel finned-tube coils. Rapidly through critical temperature ranges – controlled cooling to the desired core temperature.

APPLICATION AREAS

Blast chilling systems

Scalded & cooked productsCooked hamPoultry & fishPackaged products

COOLING METHODS

Three cooling methods. Matched to the process.

01

Recirculating-air cooling

The process air is cooled by the cooling coils.

02

Cooling shower

Water supports targeted heat removal.

03

Microfine mist · Optional

Twin-fluid atomising nozzles supplement the cooling at each loading trolley.

YOUR BENEFITS

Cool quickly. Uniformly throughout the trolley.

01

Longer shelf life

Critical temperature ranges are passed through quickly and in a controlled manner.

02

Low weight loss

Rapid, controlled cooling protects product yield.

03

Ready for direct packaging

The desired core temperature is reached without intermediate storage.

04

Less space required

Cold storage rooms and additional storage areas can be saved.

COOLING PROCESSES & OPTIONS

Cooling in detail.

Always included

Recirculating-air cooling and cooling shower

Cooling takes place in parallel through powerful, targeted recirculating air and an integrated cooling shower. This removes heat from the product quickly and evenly.

Optional

Two-fluid atomising nozzle per loading trolley

The system can optionally be equipped with a special stainless steel 1.4301 two-fluid atomising nozzle per loading trolley. Operating with compressed air and water, it sprays hot, hanging or horizontally placed products with microfine mist. The greatly increased water surface area improves evaporative cooling: heat is removed from the product while water consumption remains low.

INTENSIVE COOLING

Intensive cooling using the counterflow principle.

Two cooling coils in the side supply air ducts.

COOLING COILS

Targeted cooling of the process air.

Intensive cooling is provided by two cooling coils in 1.4301 stainless steel, installed on the left and right in the supply air ducts. Here, the circulating process air is cooled and returned to the product.

The coils operate on the counterflow principle to achieve optimal efficiency. Their finned-tube design provides a large heat transfer surface.

AIR DISTRIBUTION & MAINTENANCE

Air distribution and maintenance in detail.

01

High air recirculation capacity

Powerful air movement supports short cooling times and protects product yield.

02

Uniform throughout the trolley

Air distribution is designed for comparable conditions at the top, bottom, centre, left and right of the trolley.

03

One fan per trolley position

Each trolley position has its own fan motor with a stainless steel impeller manufactured in-house by SORGO.

04

Easy to maintain

Individual fans can be serviced selectively and replaced individually in multi-trolley systems.

05

Process remains available

If an individual fan fails, functioning trolley positions in a multi-trolley system remain usable.

OPTIONAL CIP CLEANING

Fully automatic CIP cleaning

Available as an option. The programme-controlled system performs cleaning, contact time and fresh-water rinsing of the system.

The CIP pipes are not insulated.

  1. 01Central cleaning station

    One central station supplies several connected systems and cleans them automatically in sequence.

  2. 02Adjustable dosing

    Cleaning agent dosing can be adjusted from 1 to 10%.

  3. 03Pressure boosting

    A powerful stainless steel pump provides a cleaning pressure of approximately 10 bar. This makes the system independent of the customer's mains water pressure.

  4. 04Automatic fresh-water rinsing

    After cleaning and contact time, the system automatically rinses with clean water.

CONTROL & DOCUMENTATION

SORGO SCS X1 – your processes under control.

Intuitive operation on a 15.6-inch industrial touchscreen, storable programmes and precise process control. Also discover SORGO INSPECT for central documentation and optional remote operation via smartphone or tablet.

INSTALLATION & SYSTEM FLOOR

Three floor designs.

Matched to installation, loading and hygiene requirements.

01Installation on standard floorSimplest building preparation

The chamber is installed on a finished production floor with sufficient load-bearing capacity. An entry lip is used or a suitable entry plate manufactured to ensure a safe transition.

Simplest building preparation
02Recessed and flush with floor levelEasy entry for heavy trolleys

The system is recessed into an opening in the production floor and precisely levelled using four adjustment screws. The full area beneath the system floor is then filled with fluid concrete. The upper surface of the system floor is flush with the production floor, allowing loading trolleys to be pushed in easily.

Easy entry for heavy trolleys
03Hygienic floor with underfloor cleaningMaximum hygiene and cleanability

A robust system floor with a sealed welded underside stands on adjustable feet in a hygienic tray. Two upward-facing cleaning nozzles specifically rinse the area beneath the system floor.

Maximum hygiene and cleanability

All three floor variants can optionally be reinforced for heavy loads of up to 3 tonnes per trolley position.

TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS

Your system is developed around your process.

Capacity, product, trolley format, energy supply, room layout and level of automation determine the solution. SORGO plans every system for the actual operating workflow – including controls, smoke system, cleaning, documentation, installation and commissioning.
