Click2Contact

The automated air blast chilling tunnel designed, manufactured, installed and commissioned by Milmeq provides a reliable solution for dairy processors looking to efficiently chill or freeze their product. Milmeq developed this tunnel design suited to the dairy industry to provide a first in, first out chilling regime that also ensures uniform conditioning across all product entering the tunnel.

The technology is suitable for processing 20 kg blocks of cheese and the system has accommodated up to 15,000 cartons. The Milmeq Dairy Tunnel for cheese block chilling has typically chilled product from 35 to 15°C within 24 h. The Milmeq Dairy Tunnel has also been designed for other dairy product including butter, cream cheese and mozzarella. For these dairy items, the tunnel refrigeration is configured to meet larger temperature reductions or heat removal rates from the product.

Delivering a total automated chilling system, the Milmeq tunnel operates independently and does not require a full-time operator. This reduces the reliance on manual labour, reduces the manual handling of the food product and prevents personnel from having to operate in cold temperature enclosures.

Installations of the Milmeq Dairy Tunnel have been completed for existing food processing sites and greenfield sites. The system is designed and configured to allow for easy expansion should companies require increased capacity due to increased demand for their product.
