The Cold Change 20 Pallet Vacuum Cooler CC-VC-2000<\/strong> is a high-capacity industrial vacuum cooling system<\/a> designed for large commercial growers, packhouses and fresh produce processors.<\/p>\n With capacity for 20 pallets per cooling cycle<\/strong> and loads of up to 800kg per pallet<\/strong>, the CC-VC-2000 can accommodate up to approximately 16,000kg of product per batch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Also known as a 20 pallet vacuum chiller, vacuum pre-cooler or industrial vacuum cooling machine<\/strong>, the system is designed for rapid removal of field and product heat from suitable fresh produce.<\/p>\n Typical cooling cycles range from approximately 8\u201325 minutes<\/strong>. Actual cooling time depends on product type, weight, starting temperature, required final temperature, packaging and operating conditions.<\/p>\n View the complete Cold Change Vacuum Cooler Range<\/a> to compare available machine capacities.<\/p>\n Model:<\/strong> CC-VC-2000<\/p>\n Capacity:<\/strong> 20 pallets per cooling cycle<\/p>\n Maximum pallet dimensions:<\/strong> 1200 x 1000 x 2100mm<\/p>\n Maximum product weight:<\/strong> Up to 800kg per pallet<\/p>\n Maximum batch capacity:<\/strong> Up to approximately 16,000kg \/ 16 tonnes<\/p>\n Typical cooling time:<\/strong> 8\u201325 minutes*<\/p>\n Refrigerant:<\/strong> Various options available depending on application and installation location<\/p>\n Control:<\/strong> PLC control with 12-inch touchscreen HMI<\/p>\n *Cooling times depend on product type, product weight, starting temperature, target temperature, packaging and operating conditions.<\/p>\n The CC-VC-2000 is designed for businesses that need to cool very large quantities of fresh produce quickly.<\/p>\n Twenty pallet positions provide substantial production capacity. At maximum stated loading, approximately 16 tonnes of product can be processed during a single cooling cycle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This makes the 20 pallet vacuum cooler particularly suitable for large commercial farms, central packhouses, grower groups and high-volume fresh produce processing facilities.<\/p>\n The high batch capacity can also help cooling operations keep pace during intensive harvesting periods.<\/p>\n For lower production requirements, view our 18 Pallet Vacuum Cooler<\/a> or 16 Pallet Vacuum Cooler<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cold Change vacuum cooling systems<\/a> can be configured for a wide variety of products, including:<\/p>\n Different products have different cooling characteristics. Cold Change can therefore configure the cooling cycle around the product, loading arrangement and required final temperature.<\/p>\n Removing field heat quickly after harvest can be an important part of maintaining fresh produce quality.<\/p>\n Unlike conventional air cooling, vacuum cooling<\/a> works by reducing the pressure inside a sealed chamber.<\/p>\n As the pressure falls, the boiling point of water also falls. A small quantity of moisture can then evaporate from suitable products at low temperature.<\/p>\n This evaporation absorbs heat from the product.<\/p>\n As a result, suitable fresh produce can be cooled rapidly throughout the load rather than relying solely on cold air gradually cooling the outside of a pallet.<\/p>\n For suitable products, vacuum cooling can provide extremely fast and uniform temperature reduction.<\/p>\n Freshly harvested mushrooms can retain significant product heat.<\/p>\n Rapid cooling can therefore be an important part of post-harvest temperature management before packing, storage and transportation.<\/p>\n A 20 pallet mushroom vacuum cooler<\/strong> provides substantial batch capacity for large commercial mushroom farms and processing facilities.<\/p>\n Up to 20 pallets can be processed during each cooling cycle. This can help the cooling operation keep pace with high-volume mushroom harvesting and packing.<\/p>\n Read our Vacuum Cooling Mushrooms Guide<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n Vacuum cooling is widely used for lettuce and other leafy produce.<\/p>\n Large commercial growers may harvest substantial quantities within a short period. Therefore, cooling capacity needs to keep pace with incoming produce.<\/p>\n The CC-VC-2000 allows 20 pallets to enter the vacuum cooling cycle simultaneously<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This makes the machine particularly suitable for high-volume lettuce, spinach and leafy vegetable operations.<\/p>\n Read our Vacuum Cooling Lettuce Guide<\/a> and Vacuum Cooling Leafy Vegetables Guide<\/a> for further information.<\/p>\n Broccoli continues to respire after harvest. Therefore, rapid removal of field heat can be important during post-harvest handling.<\/p>\n A high-capacity vegetable vacuum cooler<\/strong> can rapidly reduce the temperature of suitable produce before packing, cold storage and refrigerated transportation.<\/p>\n The 20 pallet chamber provides substantial capacity for large vegetable farms and central packhouses.<\/p>\n Vacuum pre-cooling may also be suitable for cauliflower, herbs and other fresh produce.<\/p>\n Production throughput is one of the main advantages of the CC-VC-2000.<\/p>\n With 20 pallet positions and loads of up to 800kg per pallet, the maximum stated batch capacity is approximately 16,000kg or 16 tonnes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Actual hourly throughput depends on:<\/p>\n Cold Change can calculate the required machine capacity based on pallets per hour, kilograms per hour or tonnes per hour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This helps ensure the vacuum cooling system is correctly sized for the production requirement.<\/p>\n Depending on the product and application, benefits can include:<\/p>\n The CC-VC-2000 can be supplied with a 12-inch touchscreen HMI and PLC control system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Different cooling programs can be configured for different products and operating conditions.<\/p>\n Operators can select the appropriate cooling program for each product, while the PLC automatically manages the cooling cycle.<\/p>\n Manual control backup can also be incorporated.<\/p>\n Cold Change vacuum coolers can also be supplied with an optional Smart Monitoring System<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Depending on the selected specification, this can include:<\/p>\n Remote connectivity can also assist Cold Change engineers with diagnostics and technical support.<\/p>\n Correct system sizing is particularly important for large industrial vacuum cooling systems.<\/p>\n Cold Change can optimise the vacuum pumps, refrigeration equipment and control program around the customer’s actual 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 The refrigeration and vacuum systems can be selected together around the required cooling performance and production capacity.<\/p>\n Different growers and processors use different pallets, containers, bins, 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 configured around:<\/p>\n
