<p>The invention is a cooling system (1 ) for hides resulting from the skinning of animals, which comprises a frame (2) that supports: vessels (3; 3a, 3b, 3c) with perforated wall comprising an initial vessel (3a) and a final vessel (3c), in each one of which a cooling chamber (6a, 6b, 6c) for the hides is defined, and each one of which is provided with a loading inlet (4a, 4b, 4c) for the hides to be cooled and with an unloading outlet (5a, 5b, 5c) for the cooled hides, wherein the unloading outlet and the loading inlet of the vessels face each other; a drive unit (7) for the rotation of the vessels (3; 3a, 3b, 3c); shaped blades (8; 8a, 8b, 8c) arranged in each vessel (3; 3a, 3b, 3c) for the advance of the hides from the loading inlet (4a, 4b, 4c) to the unloading outlet (5a, 5b, 5c) during the rotation of the vessels (3; 3a, 3b, 3c); a cooling tank (9; 9a, 9b, 9c) containing chilled water and divided into distinct and communicating sectors comprising an initial sector (9a), in which the initial vessel (3a) is partially immersed, and a final sector (9c) in which the final vessel (3c) is partially immersed; a water chilling device (10) communicating with the final sector (9c) of the cooling tank (9). In an embodiment the system is provided with one or more intermediate vessels (3b) interposed between the initial vessel (3a) and the final vessel (3c) and partially immersed in the respective sectors (9a, 9b, 9c) of the tank (9).</p> |
