Couscous production line
Producing high-quality couscous requires precision in processes that balance artisanal tradition with industrial efficiency. Specific challenges include achieving consistent grain size and texture while maintaining energy efficiency and minimal product loss.
Produce, steam, and dry couscous efficiently
The couscous production line by GEA incorporates advanced technology to industrialize the traditional process of couscous making. The calibration rollers simulate manual rolling movements, ensuring the separation of grains by size and simplifying maintenance with their stainless steel mesh structure. The steam cooker evenly cooks the grains using minimal energy by injecting vapor from the bottom and rising it to the top through a screw feeder system. Additionally, the rotary dryer is designed to work with temperatures up to 130 °C, keeping the couscous in constant movement to ensure rapid drying. The system’s efficient design allows for zero product loss by integrating a product recovery and recycling mechanism.
