The Cold Change 2 Pallet Vacuum Cooler<\/strong> is a compact industrial vacuum cooling system<\/a> designed for the rapid pre-cooling of fresh produce, vegetables, flowers and other temperature-sensitive products.<\/p>\n Also commonly referred to as a vacuum chiller, vacuum pre-cooler or vacuum cooling machine<\/strong>, the CC-VC-200 uses vacuum technology to rapidly remove field heat and product heat following harvest or production.<\/p>\n With capacity for 2 pallets per cooling cycle<\/strong> and loads of up to 800kg per pallet<\/strong>, this industrial vacuum chiller is ideally suited to growers, packhouses and food processors that require fast cooling without the capacity or footprint of a larger multi-pallet machine.<\/p>\n Vacuum cooling<\/a> can dramatically reduce the time required to bring suitable products towards their required storage or transportation temperature, helping protect product quality and maintain an effective cold chain.<\/p>\n View the complete Cold Change Vacuum Cooler Range<\/a> to compare different machine capacities.<\/p>\n Model:<\/strong> CC-VC-200<\/p>\n Capacity:<\/strong> 2 pallets per cycle<\/p>\n Pallet dimensions:<\/strong> Up to 1200 x 1000 x 2100mm<\/p>\n Maximum weight:<\/strong> Up to 800kg per pallet<\/p>\n Maximum batch capacity:<\/strong> Up to approximately 1,600kg<\/p>\n Typical cooling time:<\/strong> 8\u201325 minutes*<\/p>\n Refrigerant:<\/strong> Various options available depending on application and installation location<\/p>\n *Actual vacuum cooling times depend on product type, product weight, starting temperature, target temperature, packaging, loading configuration and operating conditions.<\/p>\n Cold Change vacuum cooling systems<\/a> can be configured for a wide variety of fresh produce and food applications, including:<\/p>\n Different products have different cooling characteristics. Cold Change can therefore configure the vacuum chilling cycle<\/strong>around the product, pallet weight, loading arrangement, starting temperature and required final temperature.<\/p>\n Unlike conventional air cooling, vacuum cooling<\/a> does not rely solely on cold air gradually removing heat from the outside of the product.<\/p>\n Products are loaded into a sealed vacuum chamber and the pressure inside the chamber is reduced.<\/p>\n As the pressure falls, the boiling point of water also falls. A small quantity of moisture within or on suitable products begins to evaporate at a low temperature.<\/p>\n This evaporation absorbs heat from the product, allowing heat to be removed rapidly throughout suitable produce.<\/p>\n This is why a vacuum cooler or vacuum chiller<\/strong> can achieve extremely fast and uniform pre-cooling for certain fresh produce compared with conventional cooling methods.<\/p>\n Vacuum cooling<\/a> is particularly suited to many mushroom applications because freshly harvested mushrooms can require rapid removal of product heat before storage, packing and transportation.<\/p>\n A 2 pallet mushroom vacuum cooler<\/strong> can be an excellent option for smaller and medium-sized mushroom growers, specialist producers or facilities requiring a dedicated lower-capacity vacuum chilling machine.<\/p>\n Rapid pre-cooling can help mushrooms reach their required cold-chain temperature much sooner after harvesting.<\/p>\n Read our complete Vacuum Cooling Mushrooms Guide<\/a> for more information about mushroom cooling cycles, cooling times and the potential benefits of vacuum cooling.<\/p>\n Vacuum cooling is widely used for lettuce and other leafy vegetables<\/a> because suitable leafy produce can be cooled rapidly throughout the load.<\/p>\n For growers handling lettuce, spinach and other leafy crops, rapid post-harvest pre-cooling<\/strong> can significantly reduce the time between harvesting and reaching the required cold-chain temperature.<\/p>\n A 2 pallet vacuum cooling machine can therefore provide a compact solution for farms and packhouses that need rapid lettuce or leafy vegetable cooling.<\/p>\n Read our Vacuum Cooling Lettuce Guide<\/a> and Vacuum Cooling Leafy Greens Guide<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n Freshly harvested broccoli continues to respire after harvest. Rapid removal of field heat can therefore be an important part of post-harvest temperature management.<\/p>\n A vegetable vacuum cooler<\/strong> can provide growers and packhouses with a rapid method of reducing product temperature before cold storage, packing and transportation.<\/p>\n Vacuum pre-cooling can also be suitable for other vegetables, including cauliflower and selected high-moisture produce, depending on the product and application.<\/p>\n Depending on the product and application, the benefits of industrial vacuum cooling can include:<\/p>\n The CC-VC-200 can be supplied with a 12-inch touchscreen HMI and PLC control system<\/strong> designed to provide straightforward operation and clear information throughout each cooling cycle.<\/p>\n Multiple cooling programs can be configured for different products and operating conditions, allowing operators to select the appropriate program for the product being cooled.<\/p>\n This is particularly useful where the same vacuum cooling machine is used for different crops or products.<\/p>\n Manual control backup can also be incorporated into the system.<\/p>\n Cold Change vacuum coolers can be supplied with an optional Smart Monitoring System<\/strong>, providing remote access to important operating and production information.<\/p>\n Depending on the selected specification, this can include:<\/p>\n Remote connectivity can also assist Cold Change engineers with machine diagnostics and technical support.<\/p>\n Every cooling application is different.<\/p>\n Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Cold Change can optimise the vacuum pumps, refrigeration system and control program around the customer’s actual product and production requirements.<\/p>\n Factors considered can include:<\/p>\n Energy-saving options can also be incorporated during system design.<\/p>\n Cold Change can offer different refrigeration configurations depending on the application, installation country and local requirements.<\/p>\n Lower-GWP and natural refrigerant options can be discussed during system design where appropriate.<\/p>\n Our objective is to provide an efficient refrigeration and vacuum system matched to the customer’s cooling requirements.<\/p>\n Different growers and processors use different pallet sizes, containers, trolleys and production layouts.<\/p>\n Cold Change can therefore manufacture custom vacuum cooling systems<\/a> to suit individual applications.<\/p>\n Systems can be designed around specific:<\/p>\n If the standard CC-VC-200 dimensions aren’t suitable, contact us

Single Pallet Vacuum Cooler<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cold Change also supplies alternative pre-cooling technologies including:<\/p>\n Different cooling technologies suit different products, so Cold Change can help determine whether vacuum cooling, vacuum chilling, blast chilling or hydro cooling<\/strong> is the most appropriate solution for your application.<\/p>\n Vacuum cooling has been extensively researched for fresh produce applications including mushrooms, lettuce, leafy vegetables and broccoli.<\/p>\n The technology is particularly interesting for products where rapid and uniform removal of field heat is required following harvest.<\/p>\n For application-specific information, read our Vacuum Cooling Mushrooms Guide<\/a>, Vacuum Cooling Lettuce Guide<\/a> and Vacuum Cooling Leafy Vegetables Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cold Change specialises in industrial vacuum cooling, vacuum chilling and rapid cold-chain technology<\/strong> for fresh produce and food applications.<\/p>\n Our systems are developed with input from British engineers with decades of combined experience in refrigeration and vacuum cooling projects across international markets.<\/p>\n Cold Change can support vacuum cooling projects across the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, North America, the Middle East, Asia and other international markets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Whether you require a compact 2 pallet machine or a much larger industrial vacuum cooling system, we can configure the equipment around your product and required production capacity.<\/p>\n If you’re looking for a 2 Pallet Vacuum Cooler
