Abstract
An apparatus for continuous direct treatment of products by means of a fluid cooling medium comprises a chamber adapted to permit passage of the products. According to the invention this chamber is provided in its bottom plane with two slots spaced from each other in the direction of movement, to which slots the fluid cooling medium is adapted to be supplied in such a way that curtains will be formed at the slots, said curtains defining, together with sidewalls arranged on the sides of the bottom plane, a liquid bed formed of the fluid cooling medium on the bottom plane. The conveying means for the product consists of a perforate endless conveyor belt adapted to travel along the bottom plane of the chamber for moving the product through the liquid bed in order to effect the direct treatment of the product by means of the fluid cooling medium.
