Lump-free emulsifier and steam batch cooker for processed cheese
When producing processed cheese or similar applications, achieving a uniform, lump-free product consistently is critical. Traditional methods often face challenges like inconsistent mixing, long batch times, and energy inefficiency, hampering productivity and product quality.
Achieve consistent, lump-free emulsification
The ShearTherm from the Natec Network, part of Hochland Natec, is an advanced emulsifier and steam batch cooker designed to deliver high-quality, lump-free food products. Utilizing patented M4E emulsifying technology, it ensures thorough mixing and emulsification in each batch. The integrated vacuum system and variable speed homogenization units provide high repeatability and consistency, while the direct steam injection offers precise temperature control up to 98°C (208°F). Capable of processing up to 2,400L per hour with minimal raw material waste and energy consumption, the ShearTherm is ideal for applications such as processed cheese, cream cheese, sauces, and plant-based products. The system’s design supports fast Clean-In-Place (CIP) processes, further enhancing productivity by minimizing downtime.
