Tuna vacuum pre-cooker cooler
Thawing and cooking tuna fish while ensuring a high yield and uniform heat distribution can be challenging. This process requires equipment that can handle steam vacuum-pressure efficiently to maintain product quality during cooking and cooling.
Enhance yield and quality in tuna processing.
The Tuna Vacuum Pre-Cooker Cooler from JBT is designed to thaw and cook tuna fish under steam vacuum-pressure and cool the product under a steam ejector vacuum. This system ensures increased yield and uniform heat distribution, leading to high-quality final products. It utilizes TunaCAL™, a mathematical modeling software that optimizes the precooking process to enhance consistency and product quality. The capacity of the system can reach up to eight tons per cycle, depending on the fish conditions, species, and size. Notable features include automatic loading and unloading of carts using a ‘drag chain’ mechanical system and the capability to recover by-products like cooking broths. This equipment is suitable for processing tuna, shellfish, cephalopods, and other similar products.
