Energy efficient steaming for fresh produce

Achieve exceptional product quality while minimizing energy use by up to 90% with advanced steam control, ensuring optimal heating, sanitization, and preservation of essential nutrients in your production line.

Reduces Steam Usage and Enhances Product Quality

The FTNON DCC Steamer, a product by JBT, offers a revolutionary approach to energy-efficient steaming and cooling for diverse processing needs. This steamer stands out with its Dynamic Cloud Control (DCC) technology, which reduces steam consumption by up to 90% without compromising product quality. The system facilitates rapid heating and sanitization, preserving the color, aroma, and nutrients vital for extending shelf life.

Ideal for applications in food, beverage, and pet food industries, this equipment processes items like pureed baby foods, diced fruits, and ready meals. Capable of both solid and liquid product types, it integrates seamlessly into continuous, high-speed operations, aligning with the rigorous demands of fresh produce processors, meat packers, and aseptic processing plants.

Automation is enhanced with features like automatic steam regulation to conserve energy when no product is detected, while its design minimizes nutrient loss and wastewater production. Easy to clean, the steamer’s top hygienic design with a liftable hood reduces downtime, further complemented by optional configurations like belt, screw, or fruit-specific steamers to tailor the system to specific production lines.

Benefits

  • Drastically lowers steam consumption by up to 90%, reducing operational energy costs.
  • Enhances product shelf life through rapid, gentle cooking that preserves vital nutrients.
  • Minimizes downtime with fast start-up, ready for production in just five minutes.
  • Reduces cleaning time and maintenance costs with its hygienic design featuring a liftable hood.
  • Automatically optimizes steam usage, conserving resources when the production line is idle.
