Industrial steam cooker
AB&CO-TEKNIK is a distributor of the Olympus Automation programme of:
- PDX Sonic 25 multi, super sonic cooking equipment
- PDX Sonic SD dissolver
- PDX Sonic PM powder mixer
- Direct steam injection
The PDX Reactor is an advanced industrial steam cooker that heats, mixes and cooks liquid-based food products quickly and efficiently. For example, with the PDX Reactor 1,000kg of tomato sauce can be made in six minutes, whereas it would normally take an hour; the taste is also superior. The advanced mixing means that ingredients are better combined, resulting in a better quality product. Less energy is used and there is no burn on, ensuring further efficiency.
For products with particulates, such as vegetables and meat, the integrity of the product is superior.
