Overview

The Bottle Cooling Tunnel is a purpose-built solution for cooling hot-filled bottles prior to labelling, drying, or secondary packaging. It features a pusher mechanism at the infeed to prevent congestion, hinged side covers for easy cleaning and maintenance access, a collection tank with woven wire screens protecting the circulation pump, and reliable ball-valve level control. Built in stainless steel to the same European-grade standards as the rest of the Filkraft range, it ensures product integrity and line efficiency.
