Rice cooking system for low-moisture processing
Achieve fully cooked, low-moisture rice with precise control over absorption and agitation, reducing water consumption while ensuring rapid changeovers and consistent quality for high-volume operations.
Cooks and Absorbs for Consistent Low-Moisture Products
The Temper-Flow Cooker from Lyco Manufacturing is a meticulously engineered solution for high-volume food processing applications, ensuring efficient cooking and absorption processes for a range of products like instant rice, steamed potatoes, and pre-cooked dry beans. This system integrates seamlessly into your production line, employing the Clean-Flow blancher’s unique Hydro-Flow® agitation for uniform heat distribution and consistency. With its continuous operation and first in/first out process, the Temper-Flow minimizes water usage and reduces energy consumption through its streamlined design.
Capable of handling large volumes, this cooker is ideal for commercial cooking facilities and industrial food manufacturers aiming to meet high demands. Its sanitary design features two-way flip-top covers and an integrated CIP (Clean-In-Place) system, simplifying maintenance and ensuring compliance with strict hygiene standards. Automation is enhanced through simple Allen-Bradley PLC controls, guaranteeing reliability and repeatability in production.
Crafted from robust materials, the Temper-Flow offers corrosion resistance tailored to your specific needs and meets rigorous industry standards for food safety. Whether you’re processing plant-based protein for ready-to-eat meals or preparing pet food, the Temper-Flow Cooker delivers consistent quality and operational efficiency, backed by Lyco’s decades of experience in food processing innovation.
