Sanitary cooker and cooler for pasta and rice
Effortlessly tackle the challenges of undercooked or overcooked pasta and rice with advanced Hydro-Flow® agitation, ensuring optimal cooking and cooling efficiency, all while significantly reducing water usage and enhancing product yield in continuous processing lines.
Cooks, Blanches, and Cools Continuously
The Clean-Flow system from Lyco Manufacturing revolutionizes the cooking and cooling processes for food and pet food industries with its continuous operation and rapid changeover capabilities. This equipment stands out due to its patented Hydro-Flow® agitation, which ensures uniform cooking and cooling while eliminating sticking and clumping. Designed to handle a wide range of products such as pasta, rice, vegetables, meats, and plant-based proteins, the system increases recovery rates by 10-15% compared to traditional batch systems. Its continuous operation allows for handling high volumes with ease, making it ideal for ready-to-eat (RTE) processors. The system integrates seamlessly into existing production lines and offers full automation with self-cleaning capabilities, significantly reducing labor and downtime. Constructed from sanitary-grade materials, the Clean-Flow system meets stringent hygiene standards and is equipped with a self-cleaning mechanism, ensuring minimal maintenance and quick sanitation between product runs. It is engineered to optimize energy use, ensuring efficient operation across a diverse range of production environments.
