A high-output batch cooker that processes milled or whole cereal products including wheat, corn and bran

The Cook Master Rotary Cereal Cooker is a high-output batch cooker that delivers highest levels of quality, consistency and efficiency with low operating and maintenance costs. Controlled steam cooking of whole or milled grains is the most effective way of retaining their nutritional benefits while developing the texture and flavor required for high quality breakfast cereals.

Thorough and repeatable cooking process

Batches of grains or pulses are cooked with pressurized steam in a slowly rotating vessel that gently turns and mixes them to achieve through and even cooking. Consistency within and between batches is maintained by automatic process control and, on shaftless machines, by alternating the direction of steam flow.

Easy to operate and clean

Operator intervention and labor costs are minimized by the automatic control system. Consistent processing prevents waste while unnecessary downtime and maintenance costs are avoided by careful design. Internal surfaces are fully welded and difficult-to-clean obstructions are eliminated. A fully automatic CIP wash cycle cleans the vessel quickly and effectively.

Slide Valve and Pressure Sensor

The slide valve improves performance, reduces maintenance and enhances safety. An air-assisted floating seal cleans the underside of the valve as it retracts and can be changed by a single operator without tools in under fifteen minutes. A new pressure sensor mounted on the cooker shell provides process monitoring and prevents the valve opening while under pressure.

System for the addition of liquor during cooking comprises a double rotary union and non-return valves.

Trolley feed system to automatically supply weighed batches of dry ingredients to a group of cereal cookers.

Liquor make-up and feed system to automatically prepare and supply pre-weighted batches of liquor to each cereal cooker on demand.
