Pressure-Flow?SPEEDS UP THE COOKING PROCESS BY 40%
Reduced Cook Time and Reduced Footprint
The Pressure-Flow?machine was specifically designed to hydrate, par-cook or fully cook dry beans, grains and other particulates, offering processors a
continuous first-in/first-out pressure cooker. Its unique Clean-Flow?design
includes a 360-degree rotating sprocket driven screen with full clean-in-place
(CIP) for quick cleaning and changeover. Our Hydro-Flow?technology can handle
a wider variety of products than competitive systems and reduce process time
by up to 40 percent.
How it Works
Product is continuously fed into a valve arrangement that allows product to
enter the pressurized vessel while maintaining pressure in the cooker. The
patented design utilizes Lyco easy-to-clean and rapid changeover design of
Clean-Flow?that provides a CIP-able process zone. The product is processed
submerged in water while being agitated by Lyco patented Hydro-Flow?technology
under pressure in order to achieve elevated process temperatures. The process
time, temperature, water level, along with all other process conditions, are
controlled by a PLC process management system. Product is continuously
discharged from the pressurized process chamber through a valve arrangement
similar to the in-feed valve.
