POUCH PROCESSING MACHINERY

COOL TO 40°F IN HALF THE TIME OF BELT SYSTEMS

Pouches are becoming increasingly popular due to their convenience, portability, and low environmental impact. Food and beverage markets account for 80% of the total demand for flexible pouch packaging. Lyco can help you cool a wide range of food products including spices, sauces, soups, fruit, vegetable snacks, condiments and desserts.

Pouches may vary from a few ounces to more than 10 lbs. and, in every case, rapid cooling to the core is important. Lyco improves food safety by getting pouched food to 40°F twice as fast as conventional belt coolers or static water tank designs.

"We partnered with Lyco because of its expertise with food processing, and particularly with pouch cooling. Lyco has an R&D facility within its manufacturing plant that accurately predicts heating and cooling of pouched products. As engineers, we appreciate the process cooling data they are able to provide after running tests. It greatly helps us to optimize systems specific to each company."

A SOLUTION FOR EVERY POUCH PROCESSING NEED
Due to gentle Hydro-Flow® agitation, Lyco’s Rotary Drum Coolers are much more effective than belt systems and static cooling tanks of water because of agitation. During our patented cooling process, pouches enter and exit the cylinder in a first-in-first-out manner.
During transit through the machine, our unique agitation system gently stirs the pouches to ensure thorough and uniform results. Cooling times are reduced by 40% to 50%, which delivers huge gains in food safety and processing productivity.
