Pre-cooking and final cooking for candy production
When producing candy products like hard candy, toffees, and gummies, achieving precise cooking temperatures and maintaining high product quality during the pre-cooking and final cooking stages can be challenging. Traditional coil cookers often fail to provide the desired control and efficiency, leading to inconsistent results and higher energy consumption.
Precise temperature control and efficient cooking
The CROSSFLOW® cooker by Haensel-Processing is a versatile tube-in-shell heat exchanger designed for pre-cooking and final cooking of sugar-glucose-slurries. It operates using a counter-current crossflow pattern, enhanced by several baffles that ensure uniform product flow throughout the system. This design offers excellent heat transfer properties, allowing the cooker to operate at relatively low vapor pressures. This results in smaller temperature differences required for heat transfer, making the process more energy-efficient. The CROSSFLOW® cooker accommodates capacities ranging from 8 to 4,000 kg/h, making it suitable for both small and large-scale operations. Additionally, it can function as a pressure dissolver for gentle and energy-saving sugar crystal dissolution. Automated start-up, shutdown, and cleaning processes further enhance operational efficiency. This cooker is ideal for producing a range of candy products, including hard candy, toffees, jellies, and fruit gummies, ensuring high-quality output with minimal space requirements.
