Vortex Mono and Vortex 2 cook, quench and chill systems

DFC Foods Systems is distributing the range of Vortex cook, quench and chill systems.

The systems come in two formats: the Vortex Mono, in which the cook, quench and chill tanks all sit on one compact subframe; and the Vortex 2, a dual-frame format that allows for separation between high- and low-care areas. The cook and quench sides sit on separate subframes and can pass through a segregation wall.

A range of products can be cooked in the units, including rice, vegetables, seafood and short, long and filled pasta. As it cooks, the water rotary flow system reduces product clumping, sticking and basket retention. The product exits the unit completely cooked and below 3°C, ready for immediate packaging.

Production volumes range from 800 to 2400 kg of product per hour, dependent on the model and product.
