10 Pallet Eco Vacuum Cooler
This Eco model is designed for high-throughput packhouses that require ten-pallet batch capacity and want the vacuum and refrigeration systems selected around the real production duty.
Standard and Eco design comparison
For a ten-pallet packhouse, test representative full and partial loads against the same quality and temperature acceptance criteria. Loading discipline, duty cycle and refrigeration performance can affect energy use alongside the pump control profile.

Eco engineering focus
- Variable-speed vacuum pumping
- Application-matched refrigeration capacity
- Repeatable PLC/HMI cooling programmes
- Project review of electrical supply, cycle frequency and ambient conditions
Project sizing
Final design will be matched to product, batch mass, temperature pull-down and required cycles per hour. No unsupported fixed energy-saving percentage will be published.
The Cold Change 10 Pallet ECO Vacuum Cooler is a project-specific configuration for growers and packhouses that need ten-pallet batch capacity with variable-speed vacuum pumping. Vacuum equipment, refrigeration duty and controls are selected against the real product load and production schedule rather than an assumed fixed energy-saving percentage.
Compare it with the standard 10 Pallet Vacuum Cooler CC-VC-1000 using the same product, pallet weight, starting temperature, target temperature, cycle frequency and site conditions.
Where the ECO model differs
The ECO approach focuses on matching equipment operation to the stages of the cooling cycle. The vacuum demand changes as the chamber evacuates and the product begins to cool, so a variable-speed pump package can be controlled around the agreed process profile. Refrigeration selection and control must be considered at the same time because vapour handling and cooling duty are connected.
- Variable-speed vacuum pumping selected for the required evacuation and cooling profile
- Application-matched refrigeration capacity
- PLC and touchscreen HMI programmes for consistent cycles
- Review of full-load and part-load operating requirements
- Site-specific assessment of ambient conditions and electrical supply
- Optional operating-data and remote-support functions where specified
Ten-pallet production planning
A ten-pallet chamber is suitable for operations where smaller machines would require too many successive cycles to keep pace with harvesting or packing. Machine selection still needs to be based on required hourly throughput rather than pallet count alone.
Cold Change reviews pallet movement, loading and unloading time, product arrival pattern, planned working hours and downstream cold-room capacity. This helps establish whether a ten-pallet batch is the correct format and what cycle frequency the wider production line can support.
Representative load assessment
Energy and cooling comparisons should use representative full and partial loads. Pallet weight, packaging, airflow paths, product moisture behaviour and temperature variation across an incoming batch can all influence the result.
The assessment should define:
- Product type and packaging
- Average and maximum pallet weight
- Initial and required final product temperatures
- Acceptable temperature variation within the load
- Target pallets or kilograms per hour
- Expected full-load and part-load operation
- Loading, unloading and preparation time
This evidence provides a sounder basis for pump and refrigeration selection than applying a generic saving to every installation.
Suitable product applications
Vacuum cooling can remove heat rapidly from products that are suitable for cooling through controlled moisture evaporation at reduced pressure. Product response must be confirmed for the actual application.
- Mushrooms
- Lettuce and leafy vegetables
- Broccoli and selected vegetables
- Cauliflower
- Cut flowers
- Turf
- Other suitable products following technical review or trials
No single cooling time applies to every product. Batch mass, packaging, starting temperature, final temperature and process conditions must be confirmed before performance is specified.
Controls and operating programmes
The PLC/HMI can be configured with repeatable programmes for different products or loading conditions. The final sequence is developed around the agreed vacuum profile, temperature targets and equipment arrangement.
Depending on the selected specification, operating information may include product temperature, cycle duration, alarms, service information and energy data. Remote access can also be considered for diagnostics and technical support. Required languages, user permissions and data interfaces should be confirmed during engineering.
Installation and packhouse integration
The chamber and equipment layout should be planned around safe pallet movement and practical service access. The project review can cover:
- Pallet dimensions and loading pattern
- Forklift, pallet-truck or conveyor handling
- Single-door or through-flow arrangement where applicable
- Equipment-room and service-clearance requirements
- Electrical supply, ambient conditions and installation country
- Drainage, cleaning and maintenance requirements
- Interfaces with upstream or downstream production equipment
Refrigerant selection is also confirmed for the installation location and applicable project requirements.
Standard or ECO configuration?
The standard 10 Pallet Vacuum Cooler provides the reference configuration and published capacity information. The ECO version is intended for projects where variable-speed pumping and a duty-based energy review are priorities.
The preferred option depends on operating hours, load profile, energy objectives, production risk and lifecycle requirements. A project comparison should therefore consider both performance and the expected pattern of use.
For lower throughput, compare the 8 Pallet ECO Vacuum Cooler and 6 Pallet ECO Vacuum Cooler.
