Continuous cooking and cooling equipment handles products after packaging. The product, package and required thermal treatment establish the machine configuration and operating conditions.
Continuous Cooker and Cooler
Muninmax designs and manufactures a continuous Cooker and Cooler that combines heating and cooling in one machine. The Cooker uses a low-temperature, long-time approach to in-container heat treatment, with operating temperatures up to 100°C.
Equipment Configuration
| Item | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Product condition | Packaged product |
| Operation | Continuous conveying through heating and cooling zones |
| Heating medium | Steam-heated water |
| Operating temperature | Up to 100°C |
| Conveyor | Modular flat belt with variable-frequency speed control |
| Controls | PLC, HMI and temperature monitoring |
| Metal contact and structural parts | AISI 304 stainless steel |
| Capacity, treatment time and cooling targets | Defined for the product, package and duty |
The cooling arrangement uses successive water circuits selected for the required temperature reduction. Steam, cooling-tower water, chilled water, process water, compressed air and electrical requirements are defined for the project.
Connection to the Canning Line
In the pineapple canning reference, sealed cans continue through cooking and cooling before exterior drying and discharge. Treatment time and temperatures follow the product and package requirements.
Discuss Your Packaged-Product Duty
Tell us the product, packaging, incoming temperature, required treatment or final temperature, and throughput. These details determine the continuous heating or cooling arrangement.
Continuous Heating and Cooling
Pineapple Tidbits in Pillow Pouches
One application is pasteurizing pineapple tidbits packed in plastic pillow pouches. After heating and cooling in the machine, the packages move to a dryer that removes moisture from their exterior.
Selecting a System
The main information for evaluation is the product, container type, pack size and required throughput. The required heat treatment also helps determine whether a Cooker and Cooler or a retort is appropriate.
Muninmax is responsible for the design and manufacture of the Cooker and Cooler, as well as installation, line integration and commissioning within the agreed project scope.
