COOKING EQUIPMENT
Cooking equipment is one of the most extensive categories of equipment in the food industry. Cooking units are used both in professional kitchens (restaurants, dark kitchens, catering companies) and in food production. Thermal processing of raw materials is the most common technological process in food production.
Depending on the processing time, the cooking kettle can be used for:
- Blanching
- Cooking
- Boiling
- Concentration
- Mixing
- Cooling
- Dissolving
- And much more
The main classification feature of cooking equipment is the possibility of its use in a processing line, therefore, cooking kettles are usually divided into:
- batch cooking equipment and
- continuous cooking equipment.
Batch cooking kettles are food cooking devices of a specific volume, used to process raw materials in batches that match the equipment’s capacity.
Meanwhile, continuous cooking units process the product by moving it through the system without needing to stop the equipment, allowing for regular loading and unloading of raw materials. These types are used in high-capacity production lines.
The second, equally important principle for dividing and classifying cooking equipment is the pressure at which the products are thermally treated, based on which the following categories are distinguished:
- atmospheric boilers
- vacuum boilers
- pressure boilers
Most of the proposed boilers are atmospheric food apparatuses of periodic action, in which the process of cooking, boiling, or concentration is carried out at atmospheric pressure, i.e., ambient pressure.
Special types of cooking boilers include those that allow for processing products at pressures lower (vacuum) or higher (pressure boilers) than atmospheric.
Vacuum allows you to lower the boiling point of water depending on the depth of the rarefied environment; for processing under vacuum, it is recommended to additionally install a condenser to remove secondary steam and condense it back into water.
A vacuum boiler without a condenser can be used for vacuuming after heat treatment - removing air bubbles from the product, which increases the density of the product and, accordingly, its shelf life by removing parasitic air containing various pathogens.
Processing the product under pressure up to 0.5 bar is often used in food production when it is necessary to preserve all the juices inside the product.
Food cooking units can also vary in shape, the presence and type of a mixing device, tilting system, heat source, and coolant.
We offer food cooking boilers both with built-in heating and with a jacket (duplicator) for the coolant up to 0.5 Bar (water, steam), or even with direct steam injection into the product.
There are also special versions of cooking kettles with a mixing device that can be installed on cooktops (gas, electric, induction). A separate category can also include special systems that allow both heating and cooling of the product using one device; such cooking systems include the Cook & Chill technology. This device allows, due to several independent sections, to consistently perform heating and cooling functions with automatic transfer of the product from one section to another.
For parallel and efficient operation, some batch cooking units are also manufactured as a Double boiler system, where two or more boilers can operate simultaneously mounted on one supporting structure using a single circulation circuit.
Round cooking boiling pan combines together the advantages of cooking with automatic mixing. Designed for catering industry, school kitchens, restaurant kitchens or food industry. Capacity ranges from 100l to 500l. The available heating options are - steam boiling or indirect electric heating.
