Batch Cooker

The Batch Cooker is a high-performance, versatile cooking system designed specifically for the cooking, sterilization, and hydrolysis of animal by-products. This innovative solution features a robust steam-heated design, delivering exceptional control and efficiency throughout the process. Whether you're looking to evaporate water from raw materials or achieve precise sterilization and hydrolysis, the cooker ensures optimal results for further processing.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Efficient Heating & Mixing: The BC10000 is equipped with a steam-heated jacket and an agitator with a rotating shaft and paddles. This combination ensures that the material inside the cooker is heated uniformly while being continuously agitated, promoting efficient evaporation and drying of water content.

  • Controlled Sterilization & Hydrolysis: Sterilization and hydrolysis processes can be easily controlled through the system’s internal pressure management, with vapor valves allowing for precise pressure adjustments.

  • Durable & Accessible Construction: The cooker comes with a stainless steel vapor dome and a front cover plate that is bolted on for easy access to the internal components, including the agitator and shaft. This ensures both safety and convenience during operation and maintenance.

  • Integrated Gauges & Controls: The unit is equipped with an array of gauges and sensors, including an internal temperature gauge, pressure gauges for the jacket and internal pressure, and automatic valves for managing the cooking and drying processes.

  • Optimized for Performance: The Cooker features a high-capacity design with a 10,000L volume and a heating surface area of 49m². It operates with minimal steam consumption, requiring just 1.5kg of steam per kilogram of evaporated water, ensuring cost-efficient energy use.

  • Automatic Process Control: The cooker comes with an extensive set of automatic valves, including a steam inlet valve, pressure relief valve, and temperature and pressure transmitters for real-time process data registration. This automated setup ensures a smooth and controlled operation, reducing the need for manual intervention.
