Dietatec | Pump-fill Applications

Hot fill is where a product is cooked then filled into sealable vacuum bags or stand-up pouches for a rapid chilling process. Using controlled temperatures during cooking and filling followed by a rapid cooling process post filling, the product is safe to be refrigerated for extended periods of time.

The Hot fill method is usually used for liquid and pasty food products. Packed food can be preserved an average of 25 - 35 days. Then it is heated for serving temperature in the bags or without the bag.

Dieta mixer kettle forms the foundation of the hot fill production system. Boasting programmability, a highly accurate temperature control combined with an integrated mixer, the Mixer Kettle offers a combination of functionality and accuracy. When cooking is ready, the food is typically pumped through an emptying pipe with an advanced pumping and filling unit. Besides this mixer kettle provides advanced flexibility, as the product can also be first chilled in the kettle before pumped for packing. Also, when needed, the mixer kettle can play the role of a stand-alone piece of the production.
