Jam production is a process where tradition meets innovation. In recent years, advances in food processing technology have made it possible to achieve high-quality products in reduced processing times, while ensuring maximum food safety and consistent standards.
Among the most advanced solutions available on the market, the ProCut Easy industrial cooker stands out for its versatility, efficiency, and customization capabilities.
In this in-depth article, we explain how ProCut Easy supports professional berry jam production, the benefits it offers to food laboratories and industrial manufacturers, and how it optimizes every stage of the production process.
Producing jams and preserves requires precise control over several critical variables, including:
- Temperature
- Cooking time
- Cutting intensity
- Mixing performance
- Evaporation
- Preservation of the fruit’s natural color
In professional environments, these phases must be repeatable, automated, and scalable, without compromising the organoleptic quality of the final product.
This is exactly where ProCut Easy makes the difference.
