<p>The invention concerns a device and a process for cooling articles (3) such as food, in particular meat, seafood, fruit or vegetables comprising a rotatable cylinder (2) having an inner space (5) for receiving and cooling the articles (3), wherein the rotatable cylinder (2) comprises a wall (6) made of a flexible material (4) and the articles (3) are enclosed in the inner space (5) at least partially, wherein the flexible material (4) is at least one of fabric, tissue and canvas, in particular woven, preferably made from polyester, polyamide, in particular nylon, polyurethane and/or polyolefin; as well as articles cooled with the process respectively the device according to the invention. The use of the flexible material allows for simple cleaning of the cooling device even if large rotatable cylinder (2) are involved that comprise an Archimedian screw (8) in their inner space (4), thus allowing for homogeneous, clean and efficient cooling of the articles (3). As cooling medium cryogenic liquid, in particular liquid nitrogen or liquid carbon dioxide, or cryogenic solid such as carbon dioxide snow may be used.</p> |
