Interfood Technology is extending the offering from its cooking, cooling & pasteurisation division with Swiss manufacturer Staedler Automation that will see the Marinox brand brought on board. Marinox has been marketed under Staedler since March 2020.
The range includes industrial cooking and cooling equipment, with Interfood adding two continuous cookers and a drum cooker to its existing offering which covers batch cooking, smoking and roasting, drying and fermenting, spiral cooking, linear cooking, flame grilling and bar-marking, frying and belt cooking.
Steve Naylor, Interfood’s divisional manager for cooking, cooling & pasteurisation said the addition allows it to cater for more processes required by the business’s customers.
“The fit with Staedler is a very good one, combining their particular expertise in industrial cooking, cooling and conveyor technology with our own market knowledge, experience and service support,” Naylor added.
The CK800 allows continuous cooking of open, unpackaged food and can be supplied as a free-standing unit or integrated within an existing line. The CK800 offers an efficient and space-saving solution for cooking with water, and either steam or electric heating options.
Easy monitoring of the cooking process is backed with a user-friendly approach to recipe adjustments which can be made in seconds. Typical applications include ready meal components, pasta, vegetables, and meat products such as sausages, with a capacity of up to 500kg/h.
For applications requiring a higher output, the CK1500 offers up to 3,000kg/h. It can accommodate both floating and non-floating products including vegetables, dumplings, ready meal components, soup ingredients, meatballs, filled pasta, and dry pasta. Its modular design enables expansion through cooling conveyor or conveyor technology, with hygiene ensured through an automatic CIP cleaning system.
The DK950 drum cooker is designed to cook with water, ensuring consistent product quality and no-sticking through controlled turbulence in the cooker. Built-in sensor technology monitors water quality and temperature, eliminating the risk of overcooked or undercooked product. Typical applications include dry pasta, rice, quinoa, vegetables, sausages, prawns, cereals, and components for ready meals.
