eBook: Heat Transfer Capabilities for Batch Cooking Operations

The ThermaBlend Cooker is designed to cook large batches of food evenly and efficiently, with superior heat distribution and cycle times. The guide, “Cooking Efficiencies” is a deep dive into the components of ThermaBlend Cookers and Mixer-Cookers that generate heat transfer and thermal processing, including:

ASME Engineering and Construction
The ThermaBlend Cooker’s pressurized jacket is engineered and manufactured to the standards of ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers).

Stay Bolt Jackets
Stay-bolt jacket construction is a high-strength, robust design for wraparound ThermaBlend heat jackets.

Dual Zone Heating
Additional flexibility in ThermaBlend Cookers is the option of two separate zones that heat or cook indeendently.

Dimple Jackets
Dimple jackets are another heat transfer option for indirect cooking or heating of products and another type of ASME-rated solution.

Indirect and Direct Steam
ThermaBlend Cookers can also be engineered with direct, indirect, or both types of steam for reduced batch cooking times with the benefit of reduced burn-on.

Thermal Screw
The Thermal Screw is another type of heating surface to reduce heating time, with hot water that circulates through the hollow flights.

Scraper System
Some applications are susceptible to product burn-on, so the ThermaBlend also features metal detectable spring-loaded scraper systems.

Key Benefits of the ThermaBlend Cooker

1. Even heat distribution and consistent quality
2. Efficient thermal processing with small or large-scale batch
3. Versatile processing function from heating and cooling, to blending and mixing
4. Scalable and operationally flexible as part of a system
