The steam jacketed cooker has two individual jackets, upper and lower jackets. This is so 1/2 size batches can be made. There are four ports on the same side of the cooker. From top to bottom, the upper most port is known as No.1 port and the bottom most port is known as No. 4 port which is located at the base of the cooker.
Jacket inlet & outlet ports 25mm diameter
Material of Construction – 316 s/s (inner) 304 s/s (outer).
No.1 port is the steam inlet of the upper jacket.
No. 2 port is the condensate outlet of the upper jacket.
No.3 port is the steam inlet of the lower jacket.
No. 4 port is the condensate outlet of the lower jacket.
Two safety pressure relief valves must be mounted close to the inlet ports of the two jackets.
After we studied their requirements above, we communicated with customer and designed the right 1000L steam jacketed cooker with necessary modifications. We increased the motor powers to be able to finish the tough jobs in future. Since we’re already finished the cooker, it’ll be shipped soon to our customer in New Zealand.
