NEW stainless steel vacuum cooling system, with access platform.

This system ‘flash' cools / de-aerate product continuously while delivering increased productivity through long runs minimising product build up, superior product density management and low maintenance needs.

‘Flash cooling’ removes heat, moisture and entrained air from the product prior to filling, producing a consistent product density.

We offer a range of continuous cooling options.

The vacuum flash cooling and de-aeration system instantaneously reduces the temperature of the product to a set point.

In addition to cooling the product, entrained air is also removed. This produces a consistent desnity as well as reduces oxidisation and increases colour stablity and shelf life.

World-class, unique, innovative cooking system for producing a wide variety of natural mozzarella and pasta filata products. (Patent number US 8,875,623).

NO bath cook water - Faster CIP (clean-in-place) reduces downtime and increases production!

A NEW high rate RotaTherm® continuous cooking system is available. Get HIGH Production Rate with HIGH Quality Product!

One cooker producing 14,000 kgh of consistent high quality product is available now.

Come and speak with us at Stand 5E24, hall 5.

A NEW high rate RotaTherm® continuous cooking system is available. The DSI 40 RotaTherm® offers fast even heating of the product in 15-20 sec; the flexibility to adjust and control the processing conditions for each product; and all this from a small footprint (2 x 3m) at 14,000kg per hour.  That is a massive 336 tonne of product a DAY. It can run for 3 days so that means only 1 clean for every 1000 tonne (1 million kilograms) of product.

This high rate RotaTherm® has 40 direct steam injectors on a single cooking column.  This system is an expansion of Gold Peg’s market proven direct steam injection RotaTherm® technology known for fast and flexible superior heating capability.

A sauce manufacturer recently chose the DSI 40 RotaTherm® because it gave their products an obviously fresher and cleaner taste and mouth feel across their extensive 40+ product range.  They said the RotaTherm made their products more ‘flavoursome’!

The RotaTherm® continuous cooker's processing flexibility means it can produce a wide variety of superior food product such as baby food, chunky sauces, processed cheese varieties, vegetable purees, dips, pet food, meat preparations etc.... basically, products that can pass through a pump and cook in a single pass.

Produce your product for 156 hours non-stop with a Twin RotaTherm® continuous cooking system.

That’s more time producing and less time cleaning! 

Come and discuss your project with us!

The new TWIN RotaTherm® continuous cooking system goes and goes….and goes, continuously producing for 6.5 days. That’s 156 hours of non-stop production with only one clean per week.

Cooked product is delivered to the fillers for 156 hours through a NEW Gold Peg™ design integrating two RotaTherm® continuous cooking columns. The RotaTherm® columns alternate producing product while the offline column is cleaning. This alternating process is fully automated and programmed so does not require any human intervention.

Choose Natec Network's FreeSlice to make SOS (Slice-On-Slice) processed cheese with the lowest waste and high productivity. 

Combine the FreeSlice® with a RotaTherm® continuous cooking for a world leading system. 

Read how the benefits are delivered:   

The Natec FreeSlice® system is the new generation of producing slice on slice (SOS) products and replaces the old chill-roll systems. It is designed to produce slice on slice cheese as well as – with different applications – cubes, shreds and sticks made of processed cheese, analogue or hybrid cheese.

An integrated laminar flow system makes safe and trouble-free production without any danger of recontamination possible. Furthermore, the integrated CIP system allows a very easy cleaning. The Natec FreeSlice® system reduces the manpower required for operating and cleaning to a minimum and the vertical design of the belts guarantees high flexibility in slice thickness and formats.   

The RotaTherm® continuous cooker delivers conistent high quality product to the FreeSlice®.  The RotaTherm's fast even heating with felxible processing parameters means the settings can be finetuned for each product.  Recipes are saved and 'dialled up' for the optimal setting for each product.

Make high quailty end products most efficiently with the RotaTherm® continuous cooking system.

Fast Heating & Clean Fresh HIgh Quliaty End Products
» The fully enclosed high pressure cooking zone allows for cooking up to 145ºC
» Steam is injected through proprietary non-burn jets
» The steam is mechanically mixed and fused with the product by a speed-adjustable rotor – evenly heating your product in about 15 seconds
» Control of Work / Shear on Product
» The RotaTherm®’s rotor mixes steam product and flattens the ‘laminar flow’, ‘plug flow’ in the cooking column. This product receives the same heat treatment. rotor‘s variable speed allows for fine-mechanical work / energy / shear on 
» Versatile Processing Conditions
» Optimise the processing conditions for each
product by managing the temperature, heating
profile, pressure, shear, holding time, de-aeration,
cooling, density and viscosity…
