Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling tunnel technology, specifically a cold plate system for a cooling tunnel in a food factory. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the rapid development of the food industry, the requirements for food quality, taste, and shelf life are becoming increasingly stringent. Many foods require rapid cooling during production and processing to prevent microbial growth and preserve nutrients and taste. For example, baked goods such as pastries and bread need to be cooled quickly after baking to avoid excessive evaporation of internal moisture, which would lead to a deterioration in taste; frozen foods such as meat and seafood need to be rapidly cooled to low temperatures after processing to extend their shelf life.

[0003] Traditional air cooling removes heat by circulating cold air over the surface of food. However, this method is slow and can easily cause problems such as dryness and discoloration. Especially for foods with complex shapes and large volumes, air cooling struggles to ensure uniform cooling both inside and out. Utility Model Content
