A cooling channel is provided for cooling goods to be chilled, in particular food or pharmaceutical products. The cooling channel includes a cooling tower having an inlet end and an outlet end; a driven conveyor belt on which the goods to be chilled are arranged such that they can be conveyed through the cooling tower from the inlet end to the outlet end; a housing surrounding the conveyor belt and forming a cooling zone in the region of the conveyor belt; a filter unit for filtering air; a cooling unit for cooling the cooling zone; and at least one fan that interacts thermodynamically with the cooling unit and that conveys cooled air from the cooling unit to the cooling zone.

A method and system for producing confectionery, wherein a tray with one or more mould cavities formed in moulding powder, such as starch, is provided. The moulding powder has an initial moisture content. Depositing liquid confectionery in the one or more mould cavities causes the moisture content of the moulding powder to increase. The tray is provided in a conditioning room configured for drying the deposited confectionery. The conditioning parameters of the conditioning room are adapted such that the moulding powder is dried to a desired moisture content, wherein the desired moisture content is such that the moulding powder is suitable for immediate re-use in subsequent confectionery production.
