The AE3000 and AE6000 are industrial chilled-water air coolers designed to supply controlled process cooling air to chocolate coating pans, belt coater cabins, and other food processing equipment. These units function as industrial process air coolers, providing stable and repeatable cooling conditions required for consistent chocolate crystallization and coating quality.

The units use a chilled-water cooling coil (air-to-water heat exchanger) to cool process air. Ambient air passes through filtration, is cooled across the heat exchanger coil, and moisture is removed by the mist eliminator before delivery to the coating process via duct connection.


Industrial Process Air Cooling for Chocolate and Confectionery Equipment

The system supplies cooling air for:

  • Chocolate coating pans
  • Chocolate belt coaters
  • Sugar coating and panning systems
  • Fat-based coating processes
  • Confectionery production equipment

Cooling capacity is determined by the chilled-water supply temperature and flow rate, allowing flexible integration into industrial production lines.


AE3000 & AE6000: Airflow Options for Coating Machines

AE3000 is configured with a single radial fan for one coating station.

AE6000 uses two radial fans to provide higher airflow capacity and static pressure capability, allowing operation with longer duct runs or multiple coating stations depending on system resistance.

Integration with Chocolate Coating Equipment

This industrial process air cooler is installed upstream of the belt coater cabin or coating pan air inlet and connected via ducting.

By supplying controlled process cooling air, the unit supports stable coating conditions and consistent chocolate build-up.

Air temperature is controlled by the chilled-water supply temperature, allowing adjustment according to process requirements.
