DCN Tumble Chiller & Brand New Mini Tumble Chiller!

The Tumble Chiller is designed to chill filled hot casings from +85 deg to +4 deg C in less than one hour (dependant on products ability to give up heat). Ideal for cooling products such as soups, sauces and ready meals.

The Tumble Chiller forms part of the CapKold Process. This method of food preparation, storage and distribution can deliver consistent quality and fresh cooked flavour in meals prepared days, or even weeks earlier. Restaurant chains, school systems, hospitals, hotels, prisons, supermarkets & many others can maintain consistent food quality, whilst reducing food, energy & labour costs.

Hot filling, rapid cooling & special packaging retards bacterial growth, locks in freshness & provides a remarkable 5–6 week safe refrigerated shelf life.

It has many unique patented features including: no pumps, no separate heat exchangers, no bearings or seals in the cooling drum, no filters to clean or clog, simple maintenance drum removed in minutes.

How does the CapKold system work?

Pump Fill Station Products are pumped out of the kettle into tough pliable casings, at near pasteurisation temperatures.

Tumble Chiller The casings are then placed in chilled water to rapidly drop the product temperature from 95°C to below 5°C in 90 minutes or less.
