Built on IPCO’s proven steel belt cooling technology, the PCCB series ensures efficient solidification and flaking of hot melts. It offers a range of customizable models to suit different throughput capacities.
IPCO PCCB steel belt cooling systems deliver fast, controlled solidification of hot melts, transforming materials into flakes suitable for their next process, such as milling into optimally-sized powder.
Designed for safety, reliability and minimal maintenance, PCCB steel belt coolers – constructed fully from stainless steel – deliver high throughput without compromise.

Thickness control
Typically 1-2 mm
Ensures uniform material solidification
PCCB steel belt coolers
Our PCCB efficiently solidifies hot melted material – ranging from 130°C to over 200°C – into uniform flakes within a short processing distance of approximately two to six meters, cooling it to below 35°C.
Precision cooling and heat extraction – Melted material from the feeder (e.g. a twin-screw extruder) is pooled, flattened, and spread through cooled counter-rotating calender (nip) rollers. Their labyrinth design extracts a high percentage of the melt’s heat, initiating rapid cooling.
Controlled solidification – The warm material is deposited onto the IPCO 1200SAPP stainless steel conveying belt, which is continuously spray-cooled with a closed-loop water system. This ensures the material fully solidifies before reaching the system’s apex and entering the flaking unit. While still soft, the material is further flattened by a water-cooled press roller (or multiple rollers) to achieve a uniform layer thickness.
Flake formation – The fully solidified sheet is conveyed into the flaking unit, where it is pre-broken and smoothly processed by a pin-breaker (kibbler or crusher), producing mill-ready flakes for further processing.
PCCB steel belt coolers
Built for powder coating – Includes the IPCO 1200SAPP, a stainless steel belt grade specifically designed for powder coating applications.
Durable and customizable construction – Standard units are fully stainless steel, with customization options for hot-dip galvanized or coated carbon steel framework.
High-efficiency calendaring – Features two pneumatically controlled, chrome-plated counter-rotating press rollers, water-cooled through a labyrinth path matrix for effective heat extraction.
Enhanced safety features – Includes roll-back motion with rapid pneumatic separation, ensuring smooth and secure operation.
Advanced under-belt cooling – Utilizes multi-stage filtered water in a closed-loop system with accessible tanks, piping, and a pump heat exchanger. Large-bore filters allow for continuous operation even during maintenance.
Integrated mobility – Under-belt components move with the cooler, eliminating complications with traffic or flexible tubing.
Optimized above-belt components
Press rollers, at least one of which is cooled, ensure material sheet leveling.
Hinged covers provide access to collection gullies, which are safeguarded against material loss.
Safety cords and buttons surround the cooler for added security, with all access points to moving parts fully guarded to meet strict EU regulations.
A counterweighted opening hatch eliminates the need for gas cartridges, making it safer for powder-filled environments.
The entire pin-roller assembly opens to 90°, allowing for exceptional cleanability.
CIP (clean-in-place) options are available, enabling pre-access air and/or water washdown for stubborn materials.
Customizable flaking solutions – Standardized pin rollers optimize flake milling, with further customization options available to suit specific production needs.
