Bühler is thrilled to announce the launch of a new cooling solution that’s smart, efficient, and universal 

In the fast-paced world of confectionery production, precision and adaptability are paramount. At Bühler, we recognise that cooling is not only a process step – it’s a decisive determinant of product quality, efficiency, and sustainability. Discover the OmniCool Smart: our latest innovation, designed for smart and efficient cooling of your bars, wafers, biscuits, or protein and caramel snacks. OmniCool Smart is a universal cooling tunnel, tailored for both product and chocolate cooling, ensuring exceptional product quality for the compact market. 

Also available as a smart bundle with our ChoCoat Pro enrober, this solution enables manufacturers to combine state-of-the-art cooling and chocolate coating in one seamlessly integrated line – delivering maximum consistency, hygiene, and performance from end to end. 

Precision without compromise 

The OmniCool Smart is a testament to intelligent engineering. Its compressed air-free precise belt tracking and tensioning not only reduces energy consumption but also ensures consistently high product quality. 

Designed for easy cleaning and maintenance  

Understanding the stringent hygiene standards of the food industry, the OmniCool Smart features stainless steel claddings both inside and out. The easy-to-open hoods, removable air funnels, specially designed maintenance-friendly coil sections further enhance cleanliness, and significantly reduce the time needed for cleaning and maintenance. 

Flexibility tailored to your needs 

Whether you are manufacturing enrobed chocolate products like bars, wafers, biscuits, chocolate drops and chunks, or other products like cereal and nut bars, protein, fruit, and caramel bars or biscuits, the OmniCool Smart offers modular configurations to suit all applications. With the availability of all common working widths, OmniCool Smart perfectly fits to your upstream and downstream equipment. The system supports both air-cooled and water-cooled bottom plates, providing versatility for different cooling needs. 

Intelligent control at your fingertips 

Equipped with the Bühler PlayOne HMI (human-machine interface) software, the OmniCool Smart offers an intuitive interface for operators, ensuring that every batch meets exacting standards. 

Sustainability meets performance 

In line with Bühler’s commitment to “Innovations for a better world,” the OmniCool Smart is designed for sustainability. Its efficient insulation and airtight seals minimise energy loss, while the elimination of compressed air reduces overall energy consumption. This not only lowers operational costs but also contributes to a smaller environmental footprint. 

The OmniCool Smart is your smart choice for chocolate and product cooling – it’s a strategic investment in quality, efficiency, and sustainability. By integrating intelligent design with advanced technology, it empowers confectionery manufacturers to meet the evolving demands of the market. 

Smart facts to remember: 

  • Compressed-air free: Say goodbye to one of the biggest energy drains in cooling – OmniCool Smart operates without it. 
  • Intuitive control: With the advanced PlayOne HMI, operators can manage the system easily and safely – whether on-site or remotely. 
  • Less downtime, more productivity: Fast maintenance and easy cleaning mean your line keeps running smoothly. 
  • Attractively priced: The OmniCool Smart cooling tunnel delivers first-class cooling performance at an attractive price. 

With OmniCool Smart, customers benefit from a solution where efficiency, sustainability, and top product quality go hand in hand. 

Now, combined with the ChoCoat Pro, it has become a powerful solution for confectionery producers seeking to push boundaries while simplifying processes.
