Noodle Cooling & Draining Unit
Remove the heat and, where applicable, surface water that the following operation cannot accept. Cooling after boiling may use a different arrangement from cooling dry noodles before packing.

- Input to this unit
- Hot cooked noodles or product discharged from a dryer
- Output to the next unit
- Product at the agreed next-stage condition
Where this unit connects.
These are typical neighboring operations. The route may omit a unit, use it more than once, or integrate functions into the same frame. The material condition at the handover determines the actual connection.
Why the arrangement changes.
Cooling is a separate unit from freezing. The receiving freezer or packer needs a defined inlet condition, and excess surface water can change both product handling and downstream duty. Rinsing, chilled-water handling, air cooling and draining must therefore be stated explicitly rather than grouped under one vague conveyor description.
The 270, 330, 360, 440, 540, 600, 640, 700 and 800 line-width platforms are starting points for discussion. A width name does not establish this unit’s transfer rate, the usable product width or compatibility with every other module. Review the actual inlet, outlet and controls on the agreed layout.
Define before selecting equipment
- Incoming product condition and required discharge state
- Whether water contact or rinsing is part of the recipe
- Draining, water handling and hygienic transfer
- Cooling utilities, holding time and downstream acceptance
Check the handover in a product trial.
Observe product temperature, surface water, separation and portion shape at the next machine. The cooling procedure and any food-safety time limits require a validated site-specific process, not a setting borrowed from an unrelated line.
Agree the incoming material, sampling method and acceptable outgoing condition before the run. Record what the next unit receives during normal operation and after a stop. An isolated machine demonstration is useful for understanding a mechanism, but it does not prove that the full selected route meets the project target.

Is this unit required in every line?
No. Select it when its function is required by the intended product and process. Use the process-unit route maps to compare fresh, dried, cooked-frozen and wrapper-sheet examples. The maps show planning relationships, not a universal sequence.
What should the engineering inquiry include?
Send the recipe or representative product sample, current upstream and downstream equipment, proposed width platform, required good output, factory layout and available utilities. State whether you need a standalone machine, a connected section or an addition to an existing line.
Make the connection part of the specification.
Discuss the incoming product, outgoing condition and operating relationship with both neighboring units before the machine scope is finalized.
