Cooker-Cooler – Chester Jensen

FUNCTION

To provide safe, fast, and effective processing of any and all pump-able food products requiring heating, cooling, melting, mixing, blending, browning, braising, and/or other treatments generally required in these applications.

FEATURES

• Cone bottom and sidewalls that are fully insulated and sheathed in bright stainless steel for operator protection, efficiency and appearance.
• Product contact surfaces that are available in either type 304 or 316 stainless steel.
• Unique three element agitation system including large, curved, stationary baffle, high-speed counter-rotating tri-blade agitator, and 360° sweep agitator with nylon or UHMW scraper blades.
• Four component agitator drive assemblies, available in single, dual or variable speed configurations, feature heavy-duty gear reducers and U frame motors.
• Two piece hinged (and removable) covers with lifting handles, attached to heavy gauge center bridge.
• Standard working capacities of 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 gallons.
• Full draining manual or air-operated product outlet valves available in both 3″ and 4″ sizes.
• Circulation jacket is dimpled and resistance welded to cone bottom with directed “spiral channeling” of heat exchange medium.
• Many options available including: larger than standard capacities; extra heavy-duty agitators and drives (for extremely viscous products); modified tri-blade assemblies for special mixing needs; and Quick Blade Release (QBR) feature.

BENEFITS

• Scraped surface agitation together with the high ratio of surface to product volume, provided by the 30° cone bottom design, maximizes thermal transfer rates in both heating and cooling modes.
• The selection of only the most rugged and durable agitator drive components promise many years of low maintenance, trouble-free service.
• Standard operating model sizes are certified to provide full volume working capacities, with sufficient free board, under all normal circumstances.
