Flour cooling system for bakery production
Powder & flour cooling system for food manufacturing
Controlled cooling for flour & powder ingredients
The Shick Esteve powder cooling system reduces the temperature of powders such as flour using a controlled flow of refrigerated air (not based on CO₂ cooling).
It ensures consistent ingredient conditions for stable processing and high product quality, making it ideal for precooked frozen bread as well as fresh bread and pastry production in high ambient temperatures such as tropical climates.
Benefits of Shick Esteve flour cooling sytem:
- Up to 8x more cost-efficient than CO₂ cooling
- No regulatory approval required in most markets
- Gentle cooling that protects gluten and ingredient structure
- Uniform temperature control for consistent product quality
- Easy integration into new or existing production lines
Cooling performance can be adjusted based on production requirements:
- Higher throughput → lower temperature reduction
- Lower throughput → greater cooling effect
- Higher inlet temperature → larger achievable temperature drop

The powder & flour cooling system lowers the temperature of powders such as flour through a controlled flow of refrigerated air within a cooling hopper. Unlike CO₂-based systems, this method provides gradual and even cooling, avoiding thermal shock and preserving the functional properties of the ingredient.
Gentle and controlled cooling
Refrigerated air passes through the product to reduce temperature evenly, maintaining the integrity of sensitive materials like flour.
Consistent product quality
Uniform temperature across the entire mass helps ensure stable processing conditions and reliable final product results.
Designed for demanding environments
Well suited for operations in high ambient temperatures, where ingredient cooling becomes essential for process control.
- Cooling feed rate (flour): ~ 2000 kg/h (~ 4409 lb/h)
- Buffer capacity: 600 kg (1,322 lb)
- Temperature variation min: -15 K (-27 °F)
- Cooling unit max power: 60 kW
- Real power consumption: ~ 25 kW
- Max air circulation feed rate: 4,500 m3/h
- Overall size: 7x3x7 m3 (23x10x23 ft3)
- It’s a matter of cooling power so it’s possible to get:
- Higher feed rate for less temperature variation
- More temperature variation for less feed rate
- The temperature variation get bigger with higher input product temperature
