The Jams & Sauces Production Line allows to produce all the products that need to be mixed, cooked and eventually concentrated such as jams, marmalades, meat and vegetable sauces. The cooking process can take place under vacuum or at atmospheric pressure.
To preserve the organoleptic characteristics of the ingredients and obtain a high-quality product, the vacuum concentration is carried out using a Concentration Kettle or a Heating Rotating Coil. Alternatively, the product is cooked and mixed inside a cooking tank if the atmospheric pressure method is preferred.
LIFTING & TILTING SYSTEM
RAW MATERIAL SUPPLY
The liquids are stored in tanks and/or mixed in the blender while the solid products are fed through a screw conveyor or trolley. Depending on whether the solid product is fresh, frozen IQF or in blocks, it is passed into the crusher or transferred directly into the mixer.
POWDER MIXER
MIXING, DOSING, HEATING
The products are dosed in a tank in order to be preheated at the concentration temperature. The feeding takes place in a mixing and preheating tank or directly in the cooker. Dosages are generally carried out with loading cells or flow meters.
CONCENTRATION KETTLE
COOKING & CONCENTRATION
Depending on whether the product is concentrated or cooked, the mixture is passed into a Concentration Kettle, a Heating Rotating Coil or directly into the Cooking Tank, where any additional liquid or flavourings can be added.
BUFFER TANK
STORING
From the Cooking tank or Concentration Kettle the product is transferred into a Buffer Tank that keeps the product at a fixed temperature and mixed. The next step is pasteurization.
