Tuna vacuum pre-cooker cooler

Optimize your tuna and seafood processing with precise thawing, cooking, and cooling under vacuum conditions, enhancing product yield and quality while minimizing oxidation for superior end results.

Thaws, Cooks, and Cools Tuna Efficiently

The Tuna Vacuum Pre-Cooker Cooler from JBT FoodTech is engineered to optimize seafood processing by thawing, cooking, and cooling under controlled vacuum-pressure conditions. This equipment is particularly valuable for processing tuna fillets, canned seafood, and wet pet food products. The use of TunaCALâ„¢ mathematical modeling software ensures precise temperature control and heat distribution, enhancing yield and product quality while minimizing oxidation. With a capacity of up to eight tons per cycle, this system features automatic loading and unloading via a “drag chain” mechanical system for seamless integration into existing production lines. The inclusion of options such as a steam ejector vacuum system further enhances its effectiveness. Built with durable materials, it supports CIP systems for easy maintenance, making it a reliable and efficient choice for food and pet food processing companies.
