Abstract

An upper transverse chamber and a lower transverse chamber have apertures for the passage of cooling agent to a product passing between them. At least the upper chamber is divided into a central compartment corresponding to the central zone of the product, and two lateral compartments, corresponding respectively to the two edge zones of the product. The division into compartments is achieved by partitions which are perpendicular to the bottom of the upper chamber. The partitions form, inside of the upper chamber, a channel converging in the direction of motion of the product.
