Water is sprayed over a heat exchanger which is cooled to several degrees below freezing by refrigerant. As the water passes over the heat exchanger, the water cools to a user-set temperature. Cooled water then floods down onto produce. Water is collected in a tank at the base of the Hydro-Cooler for recycling. We have two types of Hydro-Cooler that can handle loose produce: Hydro-Cooler for **loose produce**: Produce travels by conveyor through the Hydro-Cooler. Produce can be partially or fully submerged in water. An outfeed elevator gently carries produce to the next stage in your line. Suitable for carrots, potatoes, parsnips, etc. [Flow-through Hydro-Cooler for **small plastic bins or loose produce**](/products/cooling-preserving/hydro-cooler-for-produce-in-bins): Bins or loose produce travel by conveyor through the Hydro-Cooler. Produce is sprayed with cooled water. This model is commonly used for broccoli, asparagus, cherries, radishes and beetroot (beet). At Wyma, we have an in-depth understanding of the post-harvest handling and cooling processes. Dwell time, equipment and refrigeration specifications are tailored to meet your needs. ## Features - Quickly reduces core temperature of produce which extends shelf-life and preserves flavor and appearance. - Produce immersion\* improves heat transfer efficiency. A sensor is available to detect water level. - Variable speed controlled conveyor allows you to control cooling time. - Stainless steel tank  – strong and cleanable. - Rotary Filter Unit\* Provides continuous water filtration to prevent blockages. - Gooseneck elevator\* gently delivers produce to next stage. Extensions available\*. - Drain valves (two) allow the tank to be drained of water. Automatic valves available\*. - Access hatches\* for full access for maintenance and cleaning. - The water spray system cools produce and maintains optimum temperature. - Integrated coils mean no need for an external heat exchanger. - The modular belt on the conveyor allows water to fall through to the base of the tank for recycling. Cleanable and serviceable. - The integrated tank allows semi-immersed cooling. - Equipment automation with touch – screen smart, easy equipment control. - Variable speed controlled elevator and pump which allows full equipment control. - Gravity-aided belt tensioning reduces belt wear. \* Optional [Product Information](https://insights.wymasolutions.com/hydro-cooler-for-loose-produce-technical-information) ### Make an enquiry ## Related Products [](https://wymasolutions.com/products/cooling-preserving/hydro-cooler-for-produce-in-bins) [ ## Hydro‑Cooler for produce in bins Our Hydro-Coolers quickly reduce the core temperature of fresh produce to extend shelf-life. ](https://wymasolutions.com/products/cooling-preserving/hydro-cooler-for-produce-in-bins)[More ...](https://wymasolutions.com/products/cooling-preserving/hydro-cooler-for-produce-in-bins) [](https://wymasolutions.com/products/hoppers/mini-wet-hopper-buffer-storage) [ ## Mini Wet Hopper Provides in-line buffer storage and produce soak for the clean end of your line. ](https://wymasolutions.com/products/hoppers/mini-wet-hopper-buffer-storage)[More ...](https://wymasolutions.com/products/hoppers/mini-wet-hopper-buffer-storage) [](https://wymasolutions.com/products/hoppers/v-bin-hopper) [ ## Bunker Wyma's Bunker receives and stores produce for automatic, controlled delivery to your processing line. ](https://wymasolutions.com/products/hoppers/v-bin-hopper)[More ...](https://wymasolutions.com/products/hoppers/v-bin-hopper) [](https://wymasolutions.com/products/hoppers/evenflow) [ ## Evenflow Our Evenflow Hopper evenly supplies produce on-demand to the next stage in your line, converting an irregular infeed to a constant outfeed flow. ](https://wymasolutions.com/products/hoppers/evenflow)[More ...](https://wymasolutions.com/products/hoppers/evenflow) [](https://wymasolutions.com/products/hoppers/clean-wet-hopper) [ ## Clean Wet Hopper Wyma’s Clean Wet Hopper gently receives produce in water. ](https://wymasolutions.com/products/hoppers/clean-wet-hopper)[More ...](https://wymasolutions.com/products/hoppers/clean-wet-hopper) --- ## About This Content **Source:** [Hydro-Cooler (loose produce) | Wyma SolutionsTippingHoppersDestoningWasteBrushingWYMAWashingWashing_1new Peeling | Processing Water RecyclingCoolingDryingInspectingFillingPacking](https://wymasolutions.com/products/cooling-preserving/hydro-cooler) *This content is provided for informational purposes.
