500L Jacketed Cooking Kettle for Saudi Tomato Paste Processing

jacketed cooking kettle for tomato paste processing

A growing food manufacturer in Saudi Arabia upgraded its tomato paste and chili sauce production with our 500L jacketed cooking kettle. This automatic mixing equipment is specifically designed for the continuous mixing of high-viscosity products. Improved scraping and mixing have made sauce-making easier to manage.

Why Use a Jacketed Cooking Kettle for Thick Sauces?

Tomato paste, chili sauce, and other concentrated sauces become highly viscous during cooking. As viscosity increases, ordinary heating and mixing methods may struggle to maintain uniform heat transfer. High-viscosity sauces require more than simple stirring. The planetary cooking mixer creates continuous movement within the kettle, while the scrapers help remove product from the vessel surfaces.

Features of the Jacketed Cooking Kettle

  • Uniform Heating: The jacketed heating system provides controlled heat around the cooking vessel.
  • Continuous Mixing: Planetary agitation keeps thick sauce moving throughout the cooking process.
  • Reduced Burn-On: Scrapers continuously contact the vessel wall and bottom, minimizing product buildup.
  • Easy Product Transfer: Hydraulic tilting makes it easier to discharge thick sauces after cooking.
  • Food-Grade Construction: Stainless steel product-contact surfaces are suitable for food processing applications.

Jacketed Cooking Kettle Fits High-Viscosity Food Products

For manufacturers producing tomato paste, chili sauce, fruit fillings, curry sauces, and other thick food products, cooking equipment must handle both heat and viscosity. A properly configured jacketed cooking kettle offers several advantages:

  • Controlled indirect heating
  • Continuous planetary mixing
  • Effective wall and bottom scraping
  • Stainless steel food-contact construction
  • Hydraulic product discharge
  • Flexible batch production
  • Suitable for multiple viscous food formulations

Production Performance With the 500L Cooking Mixer

After integrating the equipment into the sauce production workflow, the manufacturer achieved a more stable batch-cooking process. Actual output can vary according to recipe, solids content, heating conditions, filling level, and cooking time.
