The Scanico spiral steam cooker / pasteurizer is the perfect solution for heat treatment, cooking and thawing of a wide range of products:

• Cooking naked meat, fish and poultry
• Cooking different types of ready meals
• Pasteurizing packed meat products for longer shelf life
• Pre-cooking prior to frying, searing etc.
• Final cooking after frying, belt-contact roasting etc.

Direct expanding steam and fans for effective airflow give short processing time, even temperature in the whole spiral, and a uniformly cooked product over the total belt width. The direct steam also improves yield.

The steam cooker / pasteurizer is in principle constructed in the same way as our spiral freezers with a limited number of moving parts. Electrical motors and gearbox are placed outside the insulated cabinet, and the entire drive system is adapted for the harsh environment in the steam cooker. A PLC-controlled steam valve keeps the set temperature in the cooker/ pasteurizer at an accurate level.

The insulated cabinet is with fully-welded stainless steel plates on both the in- and outside eliminating the risk of water and steam leakage and improving cleaning.

The steam cooker/ pasteurizer is available in all types of layouts and can be followed by a descending chiller or freezer in a complete in-line solution from Scanico.
