Couscous production line
Enhance your couscous production with a seamlessly integrated line that ensures precise granule sizing, even cooking, and efficient drying, delivering consistent, high-quality results.
Calibrates, Cooks, Mixes, and Dries Couscous
The Couscous Production Line from GEA efficiently calibrates, cooks, mixes, and dries couscous, addressing the unique challenges faced by food manufacturers. Utilizing a stainless steel mesh for calibration, it ensures precise sizing and separation of granules. The steam cooker uses minimal energy by injecting vapor from below, cooking the granules evenly on a conveyor belt while preventing clustering with two crushing axles. The rotary dryer operates over a broad temperature range up to 130°C, continuously moving granules to maximize airflow and rapidly dry them, all while featuring a zero-loss recycling system. This equipment is designed for seamless integration into high-speed, continuous operations in food processing and is available with options for enhanced cleaning and maintenance, ensuring longevity and operational efficiency.
