Quality Optimization with State-Of-The-Art Vacuum Cooling

With 21 shops, Fleur de Pains is a medium-sized bakery and patisserie in western Switzerland that places great value on high-quality baked goods, patisserie and confectionery products.

All the products are made by hand using traditional methods in Crissier near Lausanne, Switzerland. In addition to this craftsmanship, consistently high quality of the baked goods is also made possible by modern vacuum cooling, which very quickly cools the products after they are baked and prepares them for further processing or sale.

The Aston Foods International AG company offered the Managing Director a vacuum cooling system. This was to improve the quality of the baked goods and simultaneously dramatically reduce the baked goods' cooling time after baking. The Swiss company, Aston Foods International AG, perfected vacuum cooling and, in the process, works closely with Busch AG in Magden in Aargau, Switzerland.

When compared to all other vacuum generators, this technology has substantial advantages. Firstly, COBRA vacuum pumps are operated entirely without oil or other operating fluid in the compression chamber. This means that water vapor that can be sucked into the system during the cooling process cannot mix with any operating fluids and condense in the vacuum pump in the process.

Secondly, the high pumping speed of the vacuum pump in the low pressure range makes it possible to set up the vacuum pump 20 meters away from the actual vacuum chamber in an adjacent room.
