Steam industrial cooker Cook Master™

The high-output Cook Master™ batch cooker processes milled or whole cereal products including wheat, corn and bran. It is a rotating live steam pressure unit that delivers the highest levels of quality, consistency and efficiency. Fully automatic batch operation and a highly effective mixing action ensure low operating and maintenance costs. Thorough and consistent cooking Batches of grains, flours or pulses are cooked in a slowly rotating vessel through which pressurized steam flows, either from inlets at each end of the cooker or through a centralized tube. The rotation of the vessel works with its unique double conical profile to constantly move and turn the grains in the steam for even and thorough cooking. The cooking process is stable and repeatable and, combined with automatic process control, results in consistent cooking within and between batches. This is the most effective way of retaining the nutritional benefits of whole or milled grains, while developing the texture and flavour required for high quality breakfast cereals. Automatic control for minimized costs A new pressure sensor mounted on the cooker shell prevents the valve opening when under pressure. Labour costs are kept to a minimum by a completely flexible recipe-driven control system that carries out all the process operations automatically. It allows all operating parameters to be defined for every stage of the process cycle, and provides full process visualization so that operators can see every operating parameter at a glance. Features include alarm management and history, historical trending functions, and connection to a plant-wide SCADA or ERP system.
