Bakery Cascade Cooling Line
Baked product leaving the oven has to lose heat before it can be packed, and doing that on a single conveyor would need a run far longer than the building allows. This system stacks more than ten stainless mesh belt tiers vertically inside a climate-controlled room, cascading product from one tier to the next through transfer chutes so it travels a long cooling path in a small footprint. Each tier is independently driven by its own geared motor, so belt speeds can be tuned across the stack to hold the right residence time. Everything in the product zone is stainless and open-mesh for airflow and washdown, and incline conveyors feed the stack from the upstream line.

- Ten-plus stacked tiers delivering a long cooling path in a small footprint
- Independently driven belts, so residence time can be tuned tier by tier
- Stainless open-mesh construction throughout for airflow and full washdown
- Transfer chutes cascading product between tiers without damage
- Matched incline feed conveyors integrating with the upstream line
