Cube Coolers The Cube Cooler reduces time required in the cube curing process by removing the cube moisture and cooling cubes to ambient temperature. The cubes come directly from the takeaway conveyor into the Cube Cooler. The Cube Cooler spreader insures proper depth and an even distribution of cubes, assuring an even air flow. The cubes ride on either a drag chain or a wire belt or both, which reduces risks of cube damage and fines. The cubes will be discharged onto a fines eliminating conveyor for final fines elimination. Because of time reduction in cube curing, the clean cubes can go directly into a bagging system, container or storage.
KEY BENEFITS
- Single and dual pass, sizes and dwell times adjusted
- Minimizes fines and cube damage
- Reduces physical space required for curing and storing cubes
- Reduces labor and storage costs
