Excellencein Cooling
BBA Cooling Systems. Where hot melt becomes a finished product.
For over 40 years, BBA Cooling Technology has been a leader in the continuous cooling, solidification, and flaking of viscous melts in the process industry. As one of BUSSLIST Group’s three technology platforms, BBA excels where the thermal process ends and the material must be brought into its final form in a controlled manner.
Whether powder coatings, active pharmaceutical ingredients, toner, or specialty chemicals—BBA cooling systems are compact, efficient, and designed to meet the specific requirements of each industry. From laboratory scale up to throughputs of over 3,000 kg/h. Developed and manufactured in Switzerland.

Find the best matching BBA Cooler
The core product. Hot melt is rolled out into a thin film, pressed against a cooled roller, and fed into a granulator. Compact, efficient, and available for applications ranging from lab-scale to large-scale production at over 2,200 kg/h.
Robust, modular belt cooler. The product rests loosely on the steel belt and is cooled on the underside by water spray. Throughputs up to 3,200 kg/h, belt widths up to 1,500 mm.
Designed specifically for pharmaceutical requirements. GMP standards, FDA-approved materials, and the highest level of hygiene. Compatible with standard extruder sizes.
Two models: CAT for maximum cooling capacity with minimal space requirements, and TopCooler TC as a top-mounted cooler to boost the performance of existing steel strip coolers. Can be connected in a modular system.
Cooling applications Precise cooling for demanding industries
Our cooling systems are used wherever hot melts need to be solidified and flaked in a controlled manner: powder coatings, toners, active pharmaceutical ingredients, fine and specialty chemicals, and life science products. Every industry has its own specific requirements regarding cooling speed, particle size, and product purity—BBA Cooling Technology delivers the right solution.
Service Technical Center, Rental and Support
BBA offers more than just machines: At our technical center in Strengelbach, we have a variety of cooling systems available for testing and pilot production under real-world conditions. Through our rental program, cooling systems can be used for testing under production conditions—before a final investment decision is made.
In addition, we provide spare parts, service and support, as well as upgrade options to bring existing systems up to date.
