WHY IS AIR COOLING THE SMARTEST AND SAFEST CHOICE?
Choosing air cooling over CO₂ for flour cooling is a responsible choice that supports both environmental sustainability and operational efficiency. Unlike CO₂ cooling, which requires dedicated circuits and can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions if not sourced sustainably, air cooling is safer, reduces maintenance costs and simplifies plant management.
By choosing air cooling, companies not only protect the environment, but also improve workplace safety and reduce long-term operating costs.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The PiovanGroup's air cooling technology for flour ensures optimal temperature control, with a focus on safety, efficiency and ease of management. The process involves treating, filtering and drying the air before it comes into contact with the flour, using advanced air dryers or flash cooling methods. Temperature is constantly monitored by sensors interlocked with a dedicated control system, ensuring reliable and consistent cooling. This approach reduces maintenance costs and improves operator safety, making it a superior choice for flour cooling.
Dehumidification
DRYER FOR THE FOOD INDUSTRY
In the food industry, constant monitoring of the relative humidity level of the air is essential to ensure the highest quality of the finished product. Dehumidification of the ambient air with the highest level of hygiene is crucial for the transport and storage of flour. Especially for hygroscopic substances, it is essential that the product humidity is as desired for production under all environmental conditions.
DryAir4Food enables air quality and filtration suitable for food contact by using EPA filters that are specially designed for food contact. The resulting air has a moisture level that ensures no condensation inside the machine, even at temperatures below 0 °C.

Flash cooling
This technique is specific to fine powdered food ingredients, such as 00 flour, and exploits the physics behind small particles that have a negligible volume relative to the surface area. The surface area promotes heat transfer and ensures that the particles reach thermal equilibrium with the cold air stream in a matter of seconds.
PiovanGroup is a world leader in the design, manufacture and installation of automation systems for the storage, conveying and processing of polymers, plastic powders and food ingredients.
With 14 production plants located in Italy, Germany, Brazil, China, India and the USA and more than 40 service and sales branches, we are close to the customer all over the world, thanks also to an extensive network of distributors and representatives.
