Rotary cooker for uniform steam heating in cereals production
Achieve consistent product quality in high-volume cereal processing with a rotary cooker designed for optimal steam heating, enhancing productivity and reducing processing time.
Cooks and Mixes Grains Efficiently
The Rotary Cooker from CEREX AG is engineered to enhance your food processing operations, particularly in the cereal and snack industries. This cooker distinguishes itself with a patented Bichsel system, ensuring uniform steam heating through its unique vessel geometry and steam admission process. The rotary cooker effectively handles continuous cooking, heating, and mixing of grains, making it ideal for producing cornflakes, granola clusters, muesli base flakes, and puffed rice snacks. With a capacity of up to 500 kg/h, it supports high-volume production while maintaining product quality, thanks to its pressure-controlled operation that optimizes cooking phases. Designed with process-optimized vessel geometry and an internal lid structure that prevents dead zones, it ensures consistent results and easy cleaning. Customizable with or without insulation, the cooker also offers low maintenance needs, making it a reliable choice for efficient, high-speed production lines in food processing facilities.
