Industrial vacuum kettle for sauce production
Achieve optimal flavor retention and nutrient preservation with an industrial vacuum kettle that minimizes cooking time by lowering boiling temperatures, perfect for processing delicate sauces, jams, and condiments.

Concentrates and Cooks Sauces, Jams, Condiments
The Industrial Vacuum Kettle from Inox-Fer offers a sophisticated solution for food processing manufacturers seeking to enhance the quality and efficiency of their production lines. This equipment excels in concentrating, cooking, and dehydrating various food products at reduced temperatures, preserving essential nutritional and sensory attributes. Utilizing a vertical cylindrical design with a steam-heated double bottom, it ensures precise temperature control and optimal energy usage by integrating a vacuum unit with a shell and tube condenser. The kettle’s design includes stirring with scraping paddles, preventing product burning and ensuring uniform consistency.
Applications span from tomato ketchup and strawberry jam to balsamic vinegar glaze, with an operational capacity tailored to batch or automated processing methods. Featuring full PLC control, the kettle minimizes the need for constant oversight, facilitating seamless integration into existing production systems. Built with AISI 304 stainless steel, it ensures robust corrosion resistance and longevity in rigorous processing environments. For convenience, the system incorporates automated cleaning capabilities, enhancing downtime efficiency. Customizable specifications are available to meet diverse operational requirements, ensuring a versatile and reliable addition to food processing facilities.
