KETTLE COOKING

HOT FILLING CASING

 

TRANSFER & PACKAGING

At the completion of a cooking cycle, the Pump-fill Station draws product from the kettle, measures a pre-set volume, and fills a flexible plastic casing. The operator uses a station-mounted clipper to seal, attach a label, and trim the casing in one fluid motion. One employee can typically empty and package the entire contents of a 200-gallon (750-liter) kettle in 15-20 minutes. A Pump-fill Station can be shared by two or more kettles.

KETTLE COOKING – PUMPABLES

Pumpable foods are cooked in CapKold steam-jacketed kettles, with an inclined agitator/mixer and a bottom-mounted product discharge valve. The patented inclined agitator lifts, folds and mixes kettle ingredients, eliminating product burning/scorching and maintaining batch consistency. The discharge valve allows efficient transfer of kettle product to a pump-fill station without

damaging delicate foods.
