Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of conveyors, and particularly relates to a food cooling conveyor. Background Art

[0002] A conveyor is a mechanical device for material handling and is widely used in various industries and scenarios. Its main function is to transport materials from one location to another, which can improve production efficiency, save labor and time. There are various types of conveyors, and different types of conveyors can be selected according to different application requirements. In food processing, food is conveyed through a conveyor. Some foods have a certain temperature after processing. For example, fried foods, steamed foods, etc. have a relatively high temperature after processing. In order to make the processed food meet the requirements of storage or further processing, it needs to be cooled. Traditional food cooling methods usually involve placing the food in a cold storage or using cold air blowing for cooling. Although these methods can achieve a certain cooling effect, they have problems such as slow cooling speed, high energy consumption, and large floor area. Especially in large-scale and continuous food production lines, these traditional cooling methods often cannot meet the production requirements. Content of the Utility Model
