The countercurrent cooler is a highly efficient cooling system for your mixed feed pelleting process. The homogeneous cooling and gentle discharge deliver high-quality pellets, ready for safe transportation and storage.
The countercurrent airflow in direct contact with your fresh pellets effectively reduces the temperature from 70–90 °C to 5–10 °C above ambient temperature. This prevents the subsequent growth of mildew and pathogenic bacteria. It also ensures that your pellets achieve the perfect consistency for transportation and storage.
Four adjustable plates spread your hot pellets evenly across the entire cross-section as they enter the cooling chamber. This ensures a uniform thickness of the product layer, so that homogeneous cooling can deliver a consistent pellet quality.
For the product outlet at the bottom of the cooler you can choose between flaps (AHLB), rotating pipes (AHLC), or slide gates (AHLN), to discharge your pellets smoothly into the hopper beneath, leaving almost no residues. The stainless steel construction further enhances hygienic standards.
