Vertical bowl for cooking, degassing, and concentration of fruits and vegetables
In the food processing industry, handling high-viscosity products such as fruit purees and vegetable concentrates poses unique challenges. These products often require efficient cooking, degassing, and eventual concentration, while maintaining the product’s quality and meeting safety standards.
Cook, degas, and concentrate high-viscosity products
The vertical bowl by Boema S.p.A. is designed for the cooking, degassing, and concentration of fruits and vegetables, even under aseptic conditions. This unit comprises a vertical tank with a conical bottom and a motorised scraped surface stirrer to keep the product moving. The thermal exchange is facilitated by an outer isolated jacket that adjusts the heating or cooling curve automatically, minimizing stress on the product and the machinery. An automatic pressure control enables vacuum operation, aiding in the effective evacuation or re-mixing of condensates. This makes it ideal for high-viscosity products that are difficult to pump. Additionally, the system can cool under sterile conditions, making it suitable for products intended for aseptic packaging.
Benefits
- Efficient handling of high-viscosity products
- Automatic thermal control for minimal product stress
- Vacuum operations for better degassing and concentration
- Capability to cool under sterile conditions
- Reduced need for additional handling equipment
