In the food processing industry, jacketed steam kettles is a very critical heating and mixing equipment, which is widely used in the fine processing of porridge, syrup, sauce, dairy and other materials. It achieves efficient, uniform and safe heat treatment by means of jacketed steam heating, and is an indispensable and important part of modern food production lines.
What Are Jacketed Steam Kettles?
Jacketed steam kettle is a kind of equipment that utilizes jacketed space to pass steam for indirect heating. The structure of the pot usually consists of three layers: the inner liner is used for direct contact with the food, the middle jacket is used to pass steam or heat-conducting oil, and the outer layer is used for heat preservation or protection. The equipment can be stirred to make the material heated uniformly, effectively preventing mushy bottom and lumps.
Lonkia's jacketed steam kettles are made of food-grade stainless steel and have a robust structure, equipped with automatic stirring system and precise temperature control, which is suitable for heating a wide range of fluids and viscous materials.
Principle of Steam Jacket Kettle Operation
The core of the jacketed steam kettles lies in the steam heating function of the jacket. During the heating process, the steam enters the jacket and forms a heat conduction with the pot liner, which rapidly raises the temperature. Through the temperature control system, the heating temperature can be precisely adjusted to adapt to the process requirements of different ingredients.
At the same time, most jacketed steam kettles are also equipped with a wall scraping and stirring device to prevent the material from sticking to the kettle or overheating locally, ensuring consistent processing quality. The dumping design makes material discharge more convenient and reduces manual intervention.
Typical Advantages of Steam Jacketed Kettles
- Uniform heating: steam wrapped heating, no obvious heat loss, the material is fully heated;
- Precise temperature control: supports automatic temperature adjustment to avoid overheating or overcooling;
- Convenient operation: equipped with automatic stirring and dumping structure to enhance production efficiency;
- Convenient cleaning: the arc structure design with stainless steel material, easy to clean and maintain.
