CRYOVAC^® Brand Automated Chill Tunnel

Automated Chill Tunnel

Quick and efficient automated chilling tunnel that helps prevent bacterial growth and discoloration.

Flexible Placement

Self-contained refrigeration does not required connection to existing systems reducing infrastructure requirements and making placement easy.

Helps Meet Export Requirements

Vacuum packaging, cold storage or freezing is generally required for U.S. exports of most food products, especially meat and cheese.

Overview

Designed for vacuum packaging applications in the fresh red meat, poultry, dairy and processed meat markets, the CRYOVAC^® brand TC200 AutoChill automated chill tunnel quickly re-chills products after shrinking.

This is a critical step in USDA-inspected plants as well as operations that focus on export markets. Re-chilling packaged products helps prevent bacterial growth and discoloration that may occur at or above ambient temperatures. The CRYOVAC^® brand TC200 AutoChill tunnel is designed to remove heat as quickly as possible, at speeds as high as 54 PPM for maximum packaging line efficiency.

Our state-of-the-art TC200 uses a self-contained refrigeration system that does not require connection to existing refrigeration systems. Part of a comprehensive 3-piece modular system, which includes the TS200 for shrinking and the TD200 for drying, this chiller enables an automated finishing solution that sets the industry standard for efficient protein packaging solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

The shrinking process for vacuum sealed food packaging involves hot water or steam. Where fresh proteins are concerned, while the exposure to heat is very brief, re-chilling the product as quickly as possible after shrinking helps prevent bacterial growth and discoloration that may occur at temperatures of or higher than 60°F.

CRYOVAC^® brand fully integrated packaging solutions combine innovative materials, equipment, and services to deliver operational and workforce efficiency to protein processors.
