Rotary drum pasteurizer for pouches

Efficiently pasteurize delicate pouch contents like meats, vegetables, and grains with gentle agitation and rapid processing, ensuring product integrity and uniform results every time.

Pasteurizes and Gently Agitates Packaged Foods

The Rotary Drum Pasteurizer from Lyco Manufacturing is engineered to optimally process a variety of packaged foods, including meats, poultry, seafood, and plant-based proteins. This equipment employs an innovative rotating cylinder design, utilizing a perforated auger within a water-heated tank to achieve efficient pasteurization without compromising product integrity. Ideal for high-volume food processing operations, this system ensures first-in/first-out conveyance and uniform temperature distribution, critical for packaged hot dogs, sausages, and sous vide products. With its capacity to handle both solids and liquids continuously, the Rotary Drum Pasteurizer integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, enhancing both throughput and safety compliance. Designed with fewer parts, it requires minimal maintenance and is easy to clean, adhering to USDA/MID sanitation standards. Additionally, customization options and engineering support are available for tailored solutions to meet specific production needs.
