Machine composed of a conveying belt that brings product inside a cooking tank containing heated water, with the possibility to regulate it. Used to cook and increase product humidity.
Machine structure consisting of an isolated tank that contains cooking water, inclined on a specific point for complete drain. A top thermal isolated panel is equipped with extraction hoods on both sides.
Water is brought to the right temperature thanks to the heating system which operates using an external heat exchanger steam/water, controlled through modulating valve managed via PLC.
Cooking water is recirculated through a pump that distributes it on the whole belt surface through a regulating spray system. Possibility to have the cooking zone block (to remove superficial starch) integrated on the cooker.
Level of cooking water is maintained thanks to PLC.
Possibility to use a combination of three belts for product cooking. The first and the second use the jetted mixing water and the third works via immersion.
The adjustable jets prevent product stickiness and maintain water temperature constant on the whole machine width and length (+/- 1°C).
In order to regulate product cooking, it is possible to modify:
The CV Water cooker opening happens through an automated multilayer system, which allows the belts to distance themselves from the panel, giving maximum accessibility for the washing process.
In order ease the washing process, the machine features a stainless-steel structure and rinsing ramps to reduce machine washing time. The entire structure is designed to guarantee high accessibility and facilitate the washing operations, avoiding product stagnation.
Water level is controlled through PLC, positioned with a valve that is controlled via PLC on the bottom of the tank, allowing to continuously remove starch deposit on the bottom.

The impact of global warming is increasingly apparent all over the world. Towns and cities everywhere face the same challenge: providing their communities with reliable, affordable, sustainably sourced heat. GEA spoke with an expert in the field, Kenneth Hoffmann, Manager, Heat Pumps at GEA Heating & Refrigeration Technologies, about tackling global warming faster.
Something caught Farmer Tom's eye. Instead of another product demo, GEA showcased innovations via AR. That's only the start of GEA's interactive digital farm.
GEA scientists are working with researchers at the Graz University of Technology to configure a homogenization process and technology that turns eucalyptus pulp into 3D-printed, organic structures mimicking human veins, arteries and other tissues.
