Outstanding Cooling Technology to Solve a Critical Production Bottleneck

Baseline Situation

  • A global confectionery manufacturer faced rising quality demands and production volumes exceeding existing cooling capacity.

  • Cooling in the product stream was imprecise, and processes reached limits under full load and limited space.

  • The challenge was to improve cooling performance, reliability, and maintenance without interrupting production.

  • The goal was to sustainably increase efficiency and operational reliability while preserving existing workflows.

Solution

METZEN implemented a state of the art cooling tunnel for a confectionery manufacturer within an existing building – tailor made and designed to meet the highest quality standards. The challenge: precise cooling, integration during ongoing production and extremely limited space. Through accurate planning, expert consulting and the integration of advanced cooling and control technology, a perfectly matched overall solution was created.

Result

The cooling tunnel was seamlessly integrated without interrupting production. Product quality remained at the highest level, while efficiency was significantly improved. Leveraging synergies with existing benchmark systems, the plant is optimally prepared for long-term reliability and ease of maintenance.
