Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a detailed description of the JBT FTNON DCC Belt Steamer, a technology designed to improve energy efficiency in steaming processes for food products. It highlights the advantages of the Dynamic Cloud Control (DCC) system over conventional steamers.
Specifications: The DCC Belt Steamer operates at a temperature of approximately 98-100°C (208-212°F) using a balanced 100% steam atmosphere. It features various infeed and outfeed systems, including single and double belt infeed, and pump infeed. The steam chamber is constructed from stainless steel with Rockwool insulation, and the belt is driven by a motor and gearbox combination.
Procedures: The steaming process involves feeding the product onto the belt, which transports it through the DCC chamber. The system automatically regulates steam based on product temperature and capacity, ensuring optimal heat transfer and minimal energy consumption.
Advantages: Key benefits of the DCC technology include reduced steam consumption (30-90% savings), minimal start-up time, energy efficiency, and preservation of product quality (color, aroma, flavor, vitamins). The system also minimizes waste water and does not require exhaust systems.
Applications: The steamer is suitable for a variety of products, including vegetables, potatoes, herbs, fruits, fish, and meat. It is used for improving shelf life, inactivating enzymes and bacteria, compressing cooking time, and enhancing product quality.
Options and Customization: The system offers various belt options (with or without flights, flattened, or with stainless steel top wires) and platform styles (closed or open). The effective width and length of the steam chamber can be customized based on specific requirements.
Controls and Safety: The control system includes a PLC with a touch screen for accessing settings and displaying process parameters. Safety features include a safety pull cord and emergency stops. The system requires consistent pressure in the infeed and outfeed areas to maintain the steam cloud.
Maintenance and Support: JBT offers PRoCARE® service packages for maintenance, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of the equipment. The document emphasizes the importance of timely maintenance to prevent unexpected costs.
