After cooking, food sits in the 60°C→5°C temperature danger zone — the critical window where bacteria multiply fastest. Food safety standards require passing through this zone within 2 hours.
| Cooling Method | 90°C→10°C Time | Bacteria Control | Energy Consumption |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vacuum Cooling (CVF-300W-L) | 20–30 min | Rapid zone pass | 20.95 kW |
| Cold Room | 4–6 hours | Extended dwell in danger zone | Continuous chiller run |
| Blast Freezer | 2–3 hours | Surface freezing risk | Higher energy cost |
The CVF-300 compresses cooling time to 1/10~1/15 of cold room chilling — no ice or pre-chilling required.
Place hot food in the sealed chamber, pull vacuum below 600 Pa, and water on the food surface evaporates at low pressure — absorbing latent heat and dropping temperature instantly.
Hot food loaded (80–90°C) │ ▼ Vacuum pump starts → Chamber pressure drops below 600 Pa │ ▼ Surface moisture evaporates → Food temperature drops (core + surface simultaneously) │ ▼ Vapor enters cold trap → Refrigeration system condenses it │ ▼ Vacuum pump handles only non-condensable gases → Minimal load │ ▼ 20–30 minutes later → Food at 0–8°C → Ready for packaging
Unlike vegetable vacuum coolers (ambient inlet), food vacuum coolers handle inlet temperatures of 80–90°C. The CVF-300W-L uses a three-stage vacuum profile:
| Stage | Pressure Control | Function | Temperature Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | Rapid pull to medium vacuum | Handle bulk surface vapor, prevent over-boiling | 90°C→50°C |
| Stage 2 | Bleed valve stabilizes vacuum | Control cooling rate, balance moisture loss | 50°C→20°C |
| Stage 3 | Hold to target vacuum | Uniform cooling from core to surface | 20°C→0~8°C |

The CVF-300 supports multiple configurations for different operating conditions:
| Configuration | Compressor | Vacuum Pump | Total Power | Cooling Time | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard (Water-Cooled) | Danfoss 12.5 kW | Leybold 5.5 kW | 20.95 kW | 20–30 min | Standard duty, cooling water available |
| Config 2 (Copeland) | Copeland 14.8 kW | Leybold SV300B 5.5 kW | 23.4 kW | 10–15 min | Fast-cooling requirement |
| Air-Cooled (CVF-300A-L) | Danfoss 17.8 kW | Leybold 2.4 kW | 30 kW | 20–30 min | No water supply |
| Application | Typical Products | Cooling Result |
|---|---|---|
| Central Kitchens | Meal kits, bulk dishes, institutional catering | 85°C→4°C, 20–30 min |
| Cooked Meat Processing | Braised beef, stewed chicken, sausages | 90°C→0°C, weight loss <2.5% |
| Bakeries & Pastry | Bread loaves, cakes, mooncakes | 85°C→8°C, no surface cracking |
| Prepared Meal Factories | Frozen entrees, vacuum-packed meals | 90°C→8°C, 6–8 batches/day |

| Advantage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Speed | 20–30 min cooling — 10× faster than cold rooms |
| Uniform | Core and surface cool simultaneously — no cold shell/hot core |
| Food Safety | Rapid pass through 60–5°C danger zone, controlled microbial growth |
| Moisture Control | 1.5–2.5% weight loss, adjustable three-stage vacuum profile |
| Reliability | Danfoss compressor + Leybold vacuum pump — proven global brands |
Q: What's the daily throughput of the CVF-300W-L?
At 20–30 min per cycle (2–2.5 batches/hour), an 8-hour shift produces approximately 4,800–6,000 kg.
Q: What is the typical weight loss?
Standard configuration achieves 1.5–2.5% weight loss, adjustable via the three-stage vacuum curve. For lower loss, we recommend cooling to 15°C then finishing in a cold room.
Q: Does it need cooling water?
The water-cooled standard version requires 3–5 m³/h of cooling water. For locations without water supply, choose the air-cooled variant (CVF-300A-L).
Q: Why not just use a cold room?
A cold room takes 4–6 hours per batch. The CVF-300 does it in 20–30 minutes — 4–6× more throughput per shift for roughly the same floor area.
Q: How is this different from a vegetable vacuum cooler?
Vegetable coolers handle ambient-temperature produce (~30°C). Food vacuum coolers handle 80–90°C inlet, requiring a three-stage vacuum profile and larger refrigeration capacity for the high vapor load.
