Gold Peg DSI 40 RotaTherm continuous cooking system

The DSI 40 RotaTherm is a high-volume, compact, continuous cooking system. With 40 direct steam injectors on a single cooking column, the system can heat products in 15-20 s and process at a rate of 14,000 kg/h. It can run for 3 days before cleaning is required.

The system requires a footprint of 2 x 3 m and comprises a cooker and vacuum ‘flash’ for cooling.

The processing levers can be adjusted to select either a physically gentle process that maintains the shape of the particles or a shear process to produce a homogeneous, smooth product. The equipment is controlled via a touch control screen and processing conditions for each recipe can be saved for automatic operation.

The system has pasteurise, UHT and aseptic configurations. It is suitable for products that can pass through a pump and cook in a single pass, such as sauces, baby food, processed cheese, fruit preparations and vegetable purees.
