Multi-Tier, In-Line Immersive Processing System

Abstract

An automated immersive chilling system wherein the system may comprise a shackle and a track. The shackle may be configured to cooperatively attach to a product to be cooled. The track may be configured to move the shackle along a processing line wherein the processing line may comprise one or more curved channels retaining a reservoir of a cooling medium. The shackle may be configured to move the product within the reservoir to agitate the cooling medium. The shackle can be a rotating shackle that can be configured to move the product within the reservoir to agitate the cooling medium by rotating the shackle in the reservoir of the cooling medium. The shackle may be further configured to move the product within the reservoir to agitate the cooling medium by vibrating the shackle in the reservoir.
