Advanced technology

GEA CookStar the three-phase cooking concept in double spiral oven

Three-phase cooking concept with Turbo impingement functionality

The GEA CookStar Turbo is the world's only three-phase cooking concept in a double spiral. Its patented design combines horizontal airflow with impingement airflow in the turbo zone. This provides excellent cooking efficiency at new industry standards for yield and quality compared with purely horizontal airflow ovens.

Process control and efficiency

Cooking flexibility with up to 100°C /180°F difference in cooking temperatures between the zones. Process control via dewpoint measurement – know how to cook. Dewpoint measured independently in each cooking chamber. Dewpoint differences of up to 45°C between the two zones. The oven accurately controls the conditions in each zone with balanced airflow, active climate control and moderated exhaust control.
