Batch processing system for processed cheese and sauces
In modern food production, maintaining uniform consistency and precise blending of ingredients is crucial for high-quality end products such as processed cheese and sauces. Traditional methods often struggle to provide the necessary control over variable viscosities and compositions, leading to inefficiencies and inconsistent output.
High-efficiency blending and heating
The FreeTherm 50 by Hochland Natec is a specialized batch processing system designed for versatile food production needs, including processed cheese, sauces, purees, and more. Featuring two independently controlled augers, it ensures gentle and precise mixing of all ingredients. Heating is provided by unique direct steam injectors, eliminating product hotspots and enabling consistent temperature control. An integrated vacuum system de-aerates the product for better density control and color stability. Post-processing, products are discharged into an R&D trolley or an insulated buffer tank for seamless delivery to downstream systems. The FreeTherm 50 stands out for its flexibility, allowing up to 5x 50kg batches per hour, and ensures high operator comfort through a central control and surveillance system.
