CARASTAR^®

The CARASTAR^® - our universal batch cooker was developed for cooking a wide variety of masses (such as caramel, binders, jelly, fillings, sugar solutions, etc.). It is specially designed for atmospheric cooking, cooking under pressure, under vacuum, for post-vacuuming, and for cooling.

The cooker is available in various sizes, and additional options allow individual customization to your processes and production requirements.

Example:

• load cells for automatic feeding of raw ingredients into the cooker
• vacuum installation
• additional high-shear mixer for homogenization and lump-free dispersion
• CIP pump and mixing-proof valves for hygienic inline cleaning

Most of the systems have a reservoir tank mounted below the CARASTAR^®. The cooked mass is discharged gravimetrically into this reservoir. From here, it is continuously fed into the downstream process, while the weighing and cooking process in the CARASTAR^® starts again with the next batch.
