OUR WORK PROCESS
The path to safe and sustainable cooling
How to use the Cool Thorn cooling pad – simple, hygienic, and efficient
Cleaning and disinfection
Before use, the cooling mat is hygienically cleaned with standard cleaning agents or in the dishwasher. The smooth surface is easy to clean—no complicated disassembly required.
Freezing above
the head
The cooling mat is placed in the freezer with the pin side facing down. This allows the cooling medium to distribute evenly throughout the mat. This ensures consistent cooling performance across the entire surface and makes the mat reliable and ready for use—without any electricity or refilling.
Ready to use in seconds
After freezing, the mat is simply turned over and the goods placed directly on the integrated pins – safely, cleanly, and without melt water. Ideal for open refrigerated counters, transport, or temporary presentation.
Reusable – day after day
After use, the mat is cleaned again and frozen. It is designed for permanent reuse – without refilling or material wear.
WITHOUT COOL THORN
Your challenges
Poor drinking water quality
In many regions, the water is too contaminated to produce hygienically safe ice—especially for open foods.
High costs for ice cream production
Ice cream machines consume electricity, require maintenance, and generate ongoing costs.
Thorough cleaning
Ice containers, machines, and processes are difficult to clean and often unhygienic to handle.
High water consumption
Every day, liters of drinking water are used in ice production, cleaning, and defrosting—an environmental burden with every shift.
Cross-contamination through meltwater
Melting ice can soak through packaging, transfer germs, or even release odors.
Odor pollution
Old ice, standing water, and residue quickly lead to unpleasant odors in the display case.
