Thermal conditioners

FEATURES

• The unit always operates at 100% refilling preventing any steam leakage
• 100% made of stainless steel

PURPOSE

The thermal conditioner guarantees the sanitary quality, improves the meals flow and the starch digestibility and increases the water content of the product.

The super conditioner has a slope angle improving avoiding any damage of the mixing and allowing a good filling control and retention time.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The meal is inserted into the body via a clogging screw ensuring a regular filling of the conditioner.

The product is mixed by the blade(s) of the rotor. It is submitted to a shearing effect in order to stop it before coming out until the opening order is given according to the temperature and selected duration of treatment.

That treatment allows direct steam injection and a homogeneous cooking of the product. The long lasting treatment capacity (up to 6 minutes) of this unit ensures a perfect mixing of starch and gluten molecules.

In case of a pellet mill feeding the transverse and horizontal shearing undergone by the product increases water addition possibilities into meal thus improving the quality of pellets produced by the pellet mill and decreasing the energy consumption. It also has liquid incorporation capacities.

The outlet valve is designed for a regular feeding and a quick response time of the pellet mill. It is designed to be cleaned easily and to avoid any leak-off steam.
