ABSTRACT:
A stacked array of inclined flumes interconnected in consecutive zig-zag fashion for cooling canned comestibles upon discharge from a canning cooker. The hot cans are introduced seriatim in a prone or rolling aspect into the upper end of the uppermost flume. Gravity and cooling water combine to transport the parallel, submerged cans down the flumes in transverse register. The rolling action continuously exposes successive portions of the cans to the heat-absorptive water and similarly mixes the cans' contents to effect even cooling. Means is provided for selective removal of heated water from the flumes and reintroduction of cooled water into the flumes at predetermined points to ensure generally uniform water temperature throughout the flumes.
