efficiency. Agriflex has developed a patented cooling system capable of reducing and stabilising ingredient temperature by up to 30°C, delivering homogeneous results through automatic self-regulation.


Two-stage integrated technology The system operates through two sequential units: A – Dehumidification unit •


Produces dry air at 2–3°C


Ingredients are conditioned and conveyed via pre-cooled air


B – Cylindrical cooling unit • Raw material flows through a stainless-steel spiral pipe immersed in cooling liquid


• •


Fully automated temperature control ensured by sensors and probes


Stabilises temperature before dosing into mixers


Key operational advantages • No ice required → closed-loop system, hygienic and recipe compliant


• No thermal stress → preserves flour integrity and dough quality


•


Energy efficient → optimised motors, inverters and controlled


• pneumatic transport


Fully automated → consistent and repeatable process conditions


Energy efficiency by design •


• • •


High-efficiency motors


Inverter-based control systems Precision calibration in transport


• Continuous monitoring with early alerts


This results in lower operational costs,


reduced waste and improved process reliability.


A smarter approach to cooling Unlike conventional air-based systems, Agriflex cools raw materials only at the


The system reduces consumption through:


UNLIKE CONVENTIONAL AIR-BASED SYSTEMS, AGRIFLEX COOLS RAW


Pressurised air passes through a heat exchanger connected to a refrigerant circuit


MATERIALS ONLY AT THE MOMENT OF USE, REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION WHILE IMPROVING CONSISTENCY AND SCALABILITY


Agriflex Ingredients showcased its patented cooling technology at interpack 2026, demonstrating how precise ingredient temperature control can improve dough consistency, reduce energy consumption and enhance process reliability across bakery, confectionery and food production applications.


moment of use, avoiding continuous refrigerated storage. This translates into: • • •
