Batch cooker for confectionery production

Achieve consistent confectionery texture and flavor with a flexible cooking solution that adapts to a variety of recipes, ensuring efficient temperature control and precise moisture reduction.

Processes and Cools Confectionery Masses

The UNIBATCH® from Hänsel Processing is a versatile batch cooker designed for the confectionery industry, enabling the production of a wide range of products such as chewy candies, nougat bars, and jelly supplements. This cooker is unique in its ability to operate under vacuum or overpressure, allowing for precise temperature control and rapid recipe changeovers without compromising on quality. With its robust anchor agitator and Teflon scrapers, it effectively processes masses prone to burning, making it ideal for sticky and high-viscosity materials.

Capable of handling various confectionery formats, the UNIBATCH® is available in four sizes to match different production needs. The equipment integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, ensuring smooth transitions between cooking, cooling, and mixing stages. Energy efficiency is enhanced by its integrated vacuum pump, which rapidly cools batches after cooking, reducing energy consumption during the cooling phase.

Constructed with durable materials, the UNIBATCH® is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, minimizing downtime and maximizing production efficiency. Its adaptability to process liquid and slurry product types makes it a key asset for confectionery manufacturers looking to improve their operations while maintaining high product standards.
