Gold Peg RotaTherm direct steam injection continuous cooking system

The RotaTherm direct steam injection continuous cooking system is available from Gold Peg International. It is suitable for cooking and processing food products such as processed cheese varieties (including high and low moisture), baby food, chunky sauces, purees, dips, pie fillers, taco meat, desserts and pet food.

The flexible processing set-up allows users to set heating and processing parameters as required. These include cooking temperature, direct steam-injection heating profile, shear, pressure and mixing.

It is available in pasteurisation, UHT and aseptic configurations and can be operated continuously for up to 144 hours.

The cooker is suitable to process most products that are ‘pumpable’ through closed pipework, cook in a single pass and have water in the formulation or can accept moisture addition in the cooking phase.
