Abstract

The invention relates to a cooling crystallizer (2.0) for saccharose magma in a vertically oriented container (2.1) which has an upper inlet (2.2) for supplying magma and a lower outlet (2.3) for discharging magma, comprising multiple cooling blocks (5.0) which are mutually spaced in a vertical direction. A heat carrier fluid flows through the cooling blocks (5.0), and the cooling blocks are coupled to a heat exchanger in order to dissipate heat from the magma, wherein multiple cooling blocks (5.0) are combined to form a cooling packet (5.1; 5.2), and the cooling packets (5.1; 5.2) are designed as separate cooling circuits with separate heat exchangers (2.1.2; 2.2.2).
