Direct steam injection cooking

The BenchTop RotaTherm Continuous Cooking system is a single skid that forward feeds and cooks, with options for various cooling set-ups - flash de-aeration, indirect or in a combination.

With the BenchTop RotaTherm, continuous cooking can be utilised in the R&D process and the results are scaleable for production. The BenchTop is also appropriate for single shift production with a daily throughput of 800-1200 kg.

The cooking mechanism is the direct steam injection RotaTherm Continuous cooker, which delivers no product burn-on, good viscosity management, constant product quality and formulation flexibility, with pause capability.

As the RotaTherm is a continuous cooker, production moves from batch to all the advantages of continuous cooking including product consistency, increased productivity and high yields.

The BenchTop RotaTherm delivers a throughput range of 50-150 kg/h, with a cook temperature range 20-145°C and vacuum or indirect cooling to 60°C.

The direct steam injection BenchTop system is fully self-contained and fitted with castor wheels, and is sized for ease of movement.

RotaTherm Continuous Cooking systems are available in configurations for pasteurisation, UHT and aseptic, with throughput rates from 50 to 7500 kg/h.
