CONTIGRAV: Precision Weighing and Dosing
The CONTIGRAV 1030 is a modular weighing system designed to handle complex recipes with gram-level accuracy. It is the foundation for cost-effective production, ensuring that sugar, water, glucose, and additives are perfectly balanced before the cooking process begins.
- Multi-Line Feeding: A single unit can supply up to five production lines simultaneously.
- Ingredient Versatility: Efficiently doses granular, powdery, and liquid components.
- High Output: Capable of managing a maximum capacity of 8,000 kg/h.
CROSSFLOW: Advanced Tubular Cooking
The CROSSFLOW cooker is a specialized tube-bundle system that has largely replaced traditional coil cookers. It is used to cook the sugar-water-glucose mixture with extreme precision, acting as either a pre-cooker or a final cooker depending on the line configuration.
- Space-Saving Design: Its compact footprint is ideal for large flow rates that would otherwise require massive coil systems.
- Thermal Precision: Maintains a highly stable temperature (+/- 0.1 K), ensuring consistent product quality.
- Energy Efficiency: The counter-current steam flow and optimized baffles prevent “dead zones” and allow for crystal dissolution even at high dry matter (84% DS).
- Automated Operation: Features fully automated startup, shutdown, and cleaning (CIP) processes.
HFD III Beating Unit: Crystallization Excellence
The HFD III is a modular beating unit specifically engineered for the continuous production of fondant. It is designed to transform the cooked sugar solution into a fine, creamy mass through controlled crystallization.
- Crystal Finesse: The optimized internal mass flow prevents uncontrolled crystal growth, resulting in a uniform crystal size—the key to high-quality fondant.
- Scalable Capacity: Available in various sizes to support production rates from 50 kg/h up to 4,000 kg/h.
- Quality Consistency: Carefully saturates the sugar solution to maintain the desired texture and whiteness.
