Vacuum boiler for the production of caramel

Shtolverk company develops, produces and sells vacuum boilers for the production of candies of different designs and modifications for the food industry.

Purpose Vacuum boiler for the production of caramel.

Vacuum boiler for the production of caramels with electric heating is used to achieve the desired moisture content and desired structure upon heating and evaporation of liquid candy mass at atmospheric pressure, followed by vacuuming.

The principle of operation of the vacuum boiler for the production of candy.

Production of caramel, with the use of this equipment, made a batch process. Ingredients (corn syrup, sugar, water, invert sugar syrup), selected depending on technology, loading into the vessel through a hatch located in the upper vessel lid and special nozzles. By the nozzles can be mounted on pipes or storage tanks hoppers desired volume with stainless steel valves. Capacity is heated and stirred while the product is rapidly heated to a temperature set of technologies for the production of concrete taken.

Melting occurs at temperatures ranging from 138 to 140 degrees Celsius, and continues until it reaches the desired moisture caramel mass content. The principle is to produce boiling as soon as possible, because during prolonged cooking of a change in the color of caramel and worsens its structure. By using the original design of our equipment fully meets this requirement.

After reaching the desired state of the caramel mass heating is switched off and vacuum is produced in which product boils under the influence of low pressure and evaporates rapidly cools by giving off any remaining moisture in vapor form, withdrawn with a vacuum pump. The finished candy is discharged through bottom outlet for further processing into final products.

 In the vacuum line set a trap, preventing the entrainment of foam product to the vacuum pump and the subsequent discharge into the sewer. Delayed trap caramel, in a quantity not exceeding 10%, may be added to the finished product.

The basic design of the vacuum boiler for the production of caramel.

Equipment for the production of caramel is a boiler designed to work with the vacuum. This - the three-layer container made of stainless steel, cylindrically shaped with a tapered or torosfericheskim or elliptical bottom and a lid, with the insulating layer having a decorative facing. For mixing caramel pot equipped with an agitator frame-type overhead gearmotor. The container can be mounted on supports, or is suspended on the frame by using service bindings to the site.

The space between the inner and middle shell is filled with intermediate heat carrier (glycerine food), heated teploelektronagrevatelyami (TANS). Insulation allows to reduce heat loss to a minimum and to protect personnel from burns. The boiler is equipped with cooking caramel control cabinet, which allows to monitor all stages of the process. On the front panel mounted devices, the indication which gives all the information about temperature and the involved units or devices. Depending on customer needs, the boiler can be equipped with a variety of process automation tools.

For example, when using PLC (programmable logic controller) control cabinet is technically complex one, with a single solution technology facilitating the operation control circuit automation.

The technologist monitors the production modes of service mechanisms in accordance with the rules of work, adopted at particularly taken production. The rest, the application of PLCs and control panels with touchscreen technology, controlled by a variety of sensors and automatically executes devices (pumps, valves, gate valves, feeders, feeders, etc.) on a pre-designed routing product production. If necessary, you can switch between several technologies that can significantly extend the functionality of the equipment.
