Vacuum Cooling Systems for Bakery and Cooked Food
Allcold vacuum cooling systems are designed for bakery products and selected cooked food applications. Different products use different cooling cycles, loading formats, and configuration logic, so we recommend systems based on trays, trolleys, batch size, and workflow requirements.
Bakery Applications
Suitable for bread and bakery products that need shorter cooling time before slicing, packing, or further handling.
Cooked Food Applications
Suitable for cooked rice, prepared meals, catering, and central kitchen workflows that require faster post-cooking cooling.
Application Paths for Bakery and Cooked Food
Bakery products and cooked food applications use different cooling cycles, loading formats, and configuration logic. We recommend vacuum cooling systems based on the actual product and workflow.
For Bakery
Bread and bakery product cooling
- ✓ Suitable for bread and selected bakery products
- ✓ Shorter cooling time after baking before slicing or packing
- ✓ Configuration can be discussed by trolley quantity and process requirement

Typical Configuration Logic and Common Applications
Bakery and cooked food applications use different cooling cycles, loading formats, and capacity logic. We recommend systems based on actual workflow, product type, and production requirements.
Typical Configuration Logic
| Application | Typical Cooling Time | Typical Loading | Capacity Logic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bakery | 3-5 min | Trays / Trolleys | Trolley quantity / tray format |
| Cooked Food | 15–25 min | Trays / Trolleys / Batches | Batch size / tray format / workflow |
Common discussion points:
• Product type and cooling target
• Tray, trolley, or batch format
• Output per cycle or daily throughput
• Available installation space
Common Applications
Bakery Products
Suitable for bread and selected bakery products that need shorter cooling time before slicing, packing, or further handling.
Ready Meals
