The INSTA-KOOL Falling Film Chiller

INSTA-KOOL is a stainless steel falling film chiller designed for rapid, reliable and energy-efficient milk cooling. Built around pillow plate technology, each unit helps remove heat quickly while supporting consistent milk quality and efficient refrigeration performance.

The falling film design allows water to flow evenly across vertical pillow plates, creating a large cooling surface area within a compact footprint. Each INSTA-KOOL unit can be specified with between two and fourteen pillow plates, giving dairy farms and milk processing sites a cooling system matched to their required duty.

Why Choose INSTA-KOOL?

INSTA-KOOL is designed for dairy farms and milk processing sites that need fast, efficient milk cooling with reliable day-to-day performance. Its stainless steel pillow plate design uses a thin falling film of water to support high heat transfer efficiency, helping cool milk quickly while reducing refrigeration load.

The falling film method allows efficient cooling down to 0.5°C while helping reduce freeze risk compared with some enclosed cooling systems. With options for up to fourteen pillow plates, INSTA-KOOL can be specified around the required cooling duty, available space and installation layout.

Built around Fabdec’s dairy systems experience, INSTA-KOOL provides a compact, low-maintenance cooling solution with easy cleaning access, stainless steel construction and low running costs for dependable daily milk handling.
