CVF-1000W-2P Water-Cooled Vegetable Vacuum Cooler — 2 pallets, 800–1000 kg/batch, 30–40 min down to 0–10°C
CVF-1000W-2P water-cooled vegetable vacuum cooler: 2 pallets, 800–1000 kg per batch, field heat removed in 30–40 minutes down to 0–10°C, ultimate vacuum ≤600 Pa, Bitzer compressor + Busch/Leybold vacuum pump for farms and packhouses.
Leafy vegetables come out of the field carrying field heat. Left stacked at ambient temperature, they start yellowing and wilting within hours. A vegetable vacuum cooler works by letting water boil under low pressure: as the chamber pumps down toward 600 Pa, water’s boiling point drops below 10°C, moisture evaporates from the produce surface, and the whole batch cools at the same time. We have delivered this same 2-pallet, 1000 kg class to an Iranian distributor (Bitzer CSH6563 + Busch RD0360A) and to a Canadian mushroom grower with a split-type unit on 600V/60Hz power built to the local grid.
Product Overview
Three things it does well:
- 2 pallets, 800–1000 kg per batch — roll in two standard pallets, finish a cycle in 30–40 minutes; at 10 batches a day that is 8–10 tons of daily throughput
- Water-cooled condensing — lower condensing temperature than air cooling, steadier compressor operation; suits farms in hot regions that install indoors or under shade
- ≤600 Pa ultimate vacuum and 0–10°C final temperature — leafy greens, mushrooms, berries and cut flowers all lose their field heat, with moisture loss held to 1–2%

Product Advantages
Cooling speed
Low-pressure evaporation pulls field heat out of the whole batch at once — not the outside-in soak of a cold room. 30–40 minutes per batch means produce is cold-room or truck ready the same day it is harvested.
Vacuum system
Busch/Leybold rotary vane pumps handle the non-condensable gases while the moisture trap condenses water vapor first, so the pump stays loaded and oil-clean. Ultimate vacuum ≤600 Pa drops water’s boiling point low enough that even produce cores reach 0–10°C.
Build quality
8 m³ painted carbon steel chamber with anti-rust interior, hydraulic door, 2-pallet rail loading. Compressors, pump set and controls are grouped on one frame — on-site work is just power and water.
Configuration flexibility
Water, air or evaporative condensing; power supply built to the destination grid; compressor options include Bitzer or Hanbell. Customers match budget and site conditions.
Suitable Produce
| Category | Typical items | Result |

| Brassicas | Broccoli, cauliflower | Even cooling through the head |
| Mushrooms | Button mushrooms, enoki, shiitake | Prevents cap opening and browning (our Canadian mushroom project used this class, split type) |
| Berries | Strawberry, blueberry | Fast field-heat removal, longer shelf life |
| Cut flowers | Roses, lilies | Slows opening and water loss |
| Stems & pods | Asparagus, sweet corn, peas | Field pre-cooling ahead of cold storage |

FAQ
Q: How much produce per batch, and how long to reach temperature? A: Two standard pallets, 800–1000 kg, down to 0–10°C in 30–40 minutes. Loading pattern matters — pallets packed evenly and openly cool faster.
Q: How much moisture is lost — will the produce wilt? A: Typical moisture loss for vacuum pre-cooling is 1–2%. What evaporates is a small fraction of the water naturally on the produce surface, and customers report no visible effect on appearance; a light misting before loading compensates further.
Q: Water-cooled or air-cooled? A: With a water source and indoor/shaded installation, choose water-cooled — lower condensing temperature, steadier compressor operation. No water on site? Take the air-cooled version (CVF-1000A-2P) and skip the cooling tower.
Q: Can pre-packed produce go in the chamber? A: Vented crates and turnover boxes are fine. Vacuum cooling relies on water vapor escaping, so sealed bags will not cool — vent them or leave them open. Modified-atmosphere bags go on after cooling.
Q: Is it 380V? Can you build for export? A: Standard is 400V/50Hz/3P. We build to the destination grid — we have delivered 600V/60Hz/3P for Canada and 380V/50Hz with R404A for the Middle East.
Q: What does installation require? A: Level concrete floor, 400V 3-phase power, make-up water for the cooling tower. The unit ships complete; we guide positioning and wiring and commission it through your first batch.
Installation Requirements
| Customer provides | Yuanxian provides |
|---|---|
| Level concrete foundation and site space (5.7×2.2 m footprint, plus door and pallet access) | Complete shipment, positioning guidance |
| 400V/50Hz/3P power (200 A breaker recommended) | Wiring, commissioning, vacuum and cooling tests |
| Cooling tower make-up water and drainage | Operator training, first-batch trial |
| Pallets and crates | Manuals and consumables list |
After-Sales Service
One-year warranty on the complete unit. Spare parts for core components — compressor, vacuum pump — are supplied for the machine’s lifetime. Remote video diagnosis plus on-site service in key regions per contract terms. Each shipment includes a tool kit, spare seals and the operating manual.
Buying Advice
Farms shipping up to 5 tons a day where two pallets per batch is enough will find this class the right fit. For higher volume, look at the CVF-2000-4P (4 pallets). No water on site — go air-cooled. Need shorter cycles — the EU-spec water-cooled version runs 15–30 minutes at up to 1000–1200 kg. Send us your produce, daily volume and site conditions and we will put together a configuration and costing.
