What is a Jacketed Cooking Kettle with Mixer?
A jacketed cooking kettle with mixer is a versatile industrial food processing machine designed for heating, mixing, and cooking viscous products. The “jacketed” design features an outer layer that circulates heating media (steam, thermal oil, etc.) to ensure uniform heat distribution, while the internal mixer prevents burning and ensures consistent product texture. This equipment is ideal for products requiring controlled heating and continuous mixing, such as tomato paste, fruit jam, sauces, and juice concentrates.
Key Features & Benefits
Customizable Heating Options
Our jacketed kettle offers four efficient heating methods: gas heating, electromagnetic heating, steam heating, and heat transfer oil heating. Each method has its unique advantages, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your production requirements and energy sources.
* Gas Heating: Provides rapid heating, making it suitable for high-volume production where quick temperature rises are essential. It offers excellent control over the heating process, ensuring consistent results batch after batch.
* Electromagnetic Heating: This method is highly energy-efficient and provides precise temperature control. It heats the kettle evenly, reducing the risk of hot spots and ensuring uniform cooking. It’s also environmentally friendly, with lower emissions compared to some other heating methods.
* Steam Heating: Ideal for applications where gentle heating is required, such as making delicate sauces or preserving the natural flavors of fruits. Steam heating ensures a smooth and even cooking process, preventing overcooking and maintaining product quality.
* Thermal Oil Heating: Offers stable and consistent heating over a long period. It’s suitable for processes that require high temperatures and precise temperature control, like making concentrated tomato paste or caramelizing sugar for jams.
Wide Capacity Range
Available in capacities from 100L to 1000L, our kettles can be customized to match your production scale, whether for small-batch artisanal products or large-scale industrial operations.
Superior Mixing Mechanism
The built-in mixer ensures homogeneous blending and prevents sediment formation, critical for maintaining product consistency in sauces, jams, and concentrates.
Durable Construction
Made from food-grade stainless steel (SS304/SS316), our kettles meet international hygiene standards and are built to withstand rigorous daily use.
Easy to Clean & Maintain
Designed with sanitary fittings and a smooth interior surface, our kettles simplify cleaning and comply with food safety regulations.
Customization for Your Specific Needs
We understand that every food production process is unique. That’s why we offer customization options for our jacketed kettles. Our team of experts can work with you to design a kettle that meets your specific requirements, including modifications to the heating system, mixing mechanism, or additional features such as temperature control systems, timers, and automated discharging mechanisms.
Applications in Various Food Products
Tomato Paste: The jacketed kettle’s ability to provide even heating and efficient mixing is crucial for making thick and smooth tomato paste. The controlled heating prevents burning and ensures the tomatoes are cooked to perfection, resulting in a high-quality product with a rich flavor.
Fruit Jam: Whether it’s strawberry, raspberry, or any other fruit, our kettle helps in achieving the perfect consistency for jam. The mixer ensures that the fruits are evenly cooked and blended with sugar and other ingredients, creating a delicious and spreadable jam.
Sauce: From savory meat sauces to tangy barbecue sauces, the jacketed kettle can handle it all. The precise temperature control and efficient mixing ensure that the flavors are well-incorporated, resulting in a sauce that is both delicious and consistent in quality.
Juice Concentrate: For producing concentrated fruit juices, our kettle’s heating and mixing capabilities are essential. It helps in evaporating the water content from the juice while maintaining its natural flavor and nutrients.
In addition, this machine can also be used for cooking porridge, blanching vegetables, stewing and many other purposes.
