Aquaflow Water Chiller
CircFood’s Aquaflow can be used as a continuous chilling solution for packaged food products. The design is engineered to achieve critical chilling targets using a combination of water volume, movement, and recirculation. Our Aquaflow provides an efficient solution for a variety of pouches to bagged soups, post-pasteurized hot dogs, and more. A shower drench provides chilled water to the product that floats and a sparging manifold efficiently delivers fresh chilled water directly to the product flights helping to reduce residence time and increase throughput capacity.
OurSingle-Tank Mini Aquaflow Water Chilleris the most popular machine for water chilling. Alternatively, it can be used for sous vide cook-chill applications.
OurDouble-Zone Aquaflow Water Chillerprovides fast, efficient chilling for a variety of applications and features the capability to chill or cook-chill. With independent zones and times, this machine has the flexibility to meet the needs of any chilling application within a small footprint.
