BENEFITS
The Chester-Jensen Batch Cooker uses air agitation to promote uniform heating of immersed products, accelerated heat exchange, increased efficiency, and minimized product shrinkage.
The "Clam shell" bottom opening basket provides effective means of depositing process products onto convenient work surfaces while the air agitating system and sanitary design affords in-place cleaning capability.
In addition, a steam heated pressure wall bottom is located on tank bottom for maximum efficiency and also provides greater operator safety.
Condensate resulting from heating process may be easily returned to boiler feed system for energy efficiency.
