Horizontal cooking pot
- Corn flake horizontal cooking pot heats evenly: The horizontal design makes the contact area between the material in the pot and the heating source larger, the heat transfer is more uniform, and it can effectively avoid local overheating or overcooking, ensuring the stable and consistent cooking quality of corn flakes.
- Large material handling capacity: The corn flake horizontal cooking pot has a spacious internal space and can accommodate more corn materials. It is suitable for large-scale production, can improve production efficiency, and meet the needs of industrial production.
- Good stirring effect: The horizontal structure of the corn flake horizontal cooking pot is convenient for installing efficient stirring devices. The stirring paddle can turn the material more fully, so that the material is mixed evenly during the cooking process, further ensuring the consistency of the cooking effect, and also helping to improve the gelatinization degree of starch.
- Convenient discharge: The corn flake horizontal cooking pot usually has a discharge port at one end of the pot body. The material is easier to discharge under the action of gravity. The discharge process is smooth, which is convenient for continuous production and reduces the intensity and time of manual operation.
- Easy maintenance: The structure of the corn flake horizontal cooking pot is relatively simple, and the parts are easy to disassemble and repair, making daily maintenance and maintenance work more convenient, reducing the maintenance cost and downtime of the equipment.
Structural design of horizontal cooking pot for corn flakes
- Pot body: usually made of 304 stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and hygiene. The thickness is generally 3-5 mm to ensure sufficient strength and sealing.
- Jacket: Surrounding the outside of the pot, it is used to pass heat media such as steam, hot water or heat transfer oil to achieve uniform heating. The jacket is equipped with inlet and outlet pipes to facilitate the circulation of heat media.
- Stirring device: Generally, shaft stirring is adopted. Different types of stirring paddles are installed on the stirring shaft, such as propulsion type, anchor type, etc., which can be selected according to the material characteristics and cooking process. The stirring paddle is usually made of stainless steel, which has high wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
- Sealing device of corn flake horizontal cooking pot: a reliable sealing structure, such as a rubber sealing ring or mechanical seal, is used between the pot cover and the pot body to ensure that a certain pressure is maintained in the pot during the cooking process to prevent steam leakage.
- Discharge device: A discharge port is set at one end or side of the pot body. The discharge port is usually equipped with a valve or a discharge pipe to facilitate the smooth discharge of the material after cooking.
Specifications of corn flake horizontal cooking pot
- Volume: Common specifications include 500L, 1000L, 2000L, 3000L, etc. Non-standard specifications can also be customized according to user needs.
- Heating power: If it is electric heating, the power is generally between 30-120kW; if steam heating is used, the steam pressure is usually around 0.2-0.8MPa.
- Working pressure: Generally between 0.1-0.5MPa, depending on the equipment design and process requirements.
- Working temperature: It can be adjusted within the range of 60-120℃ to meet the cooking process requirements of different corn flakes.
Corn flake horizontal cooking pot heating method
- Electric heating: Heating is carried out through electric heating tubes installed in the jacket, with precise temperature control and clean and hygienic properties, but the operating cost is relatively high.
- Steam heating: Steam generated by an external steam boiler is passed into the jacket for heating. It has high thermal efficiency and fast heating speed. It is suitable for large-scale production, but it needs to be equipped with auxiliary equipment such as steam boilers.
Corn flake horizontal cooking pot features
- Automatic control: It can be equipped with a PLC control system to achieve precise control and automatic operation of parameters such as temperature, time, stirring speed, etc., thereby improving production efficiency and the stability of product quality.
- Easy to clean: The internal structure of the pot is relatively simple, without complicated dead corners and protrusions, which is easy to clean and meets food hygiene requirements.
- High safety performance: It is usually equipped with safety devices such as safety valves, pressure gauges, thermometers, etc. When the pressure or temperature in the pot exceeds the set value, it can automatically alarm or release the pressure to ensure the safety of operators and equipment.
