Abstract: In order to chill foodstuffs and the like type of material a modular chilling unit is provided with a jacketed trough through which a chilled non-cryogenic coolant such as glycol is circulated, and wherein the material to be cooled is moved along the cooled trough using an auger. The chilling unit is arranged so that it can be mounted on another so that the material is transferred from one to another under the influence of gravity and so that the length of chilling path can be suitably elongated. The troughs are each rotatably supported by a structure which allows rotation to a near inverted position wherein jets of cleaning fluid can be ejected into the interior of the trough.
