Condition: ready for operation (used), functionality: fully functional, The Seydelmann K504 vacuum cutter cooker combines chopping, mixing, emulsifying, and cooking in a 500-liter tank. It is particularly suitable for manufacturers of processed meats, ready meals, meat products, fish, and plant-based alternatives. In this way, a single machine can perform multiple processing steps while minimizing product transfers. The K504 processes both fresh and pre-cut, frozen or cooked meat equally well. Furthermore, Seydelmann also provides for its use with fish, vegetables, plant proteins, fruits, and other food preparations. Its operating range extends from -12°C to +85°C. Vacuum chopping and emulsifying The vacuum function removes air during the chopping process. Consequently, it enables a finer and more compact emulsion to be obtained. Seydelmann indicates a volume reduction related to air of between 5 and 7%. Moreover, vacuum processing promotes protein extraction as well as the binding of water and fats. This technology particularly meets the needs of the industrial processed meat industry. It is suitable, for example, for cooked sausages, dry sausages, meat emulsions, and preparations that require a uniform texture. The K504 is also recognized on the market as an industrial vacuum cutter and 500-liter cooker. Cooking and chopping in a single machine The cooking system heats the tank with hot steam injected underneath it. As a result, the product can be chopped and heated during the same process. This combination reduces production steps and can therefore shorten the processing time. The Seydelmann K504 is therefore suitable for recipes that require fine grinding, thorough mixing, and controlled temperature increase. Furthermore, the large tank capacity meets the needs of industrial batch production. Control and integration into production The Auto-Command 1000 system features a 21.5-inch color screen. It allows you to monitor technical parameters and store 30 programs, each including up to 10 steps. In this way, the operator can more easily reproduce the settings for different recipes. Finally, the cutter can be equipped with loading and unloading equipment to facilitate product handling. Its construction, which is almost entirely made of stainless steel, also simplifies cleaning. The Seydelmann K504 is therefore a complete solution for industrial companies looking for a large-capacity vacuum cutter cooker.

Condition: used, General Overview Pasteurising, cooling, chilling, curing, emulsifying, reconstituting, incubating and mixing are all processes essential in the food processing laboratory. The Armfield Multi-Purpose Processing Vessel is capable of carrying out all of these functions as a self-contained,mobile unit. Its mobility allows it to be positioned in the laboratory adjacent to other equipment that it may be acting as a service to, and also makes it easily stowable. The hygienically designed jacketed vessel has a working capacity of between 10 and 15 litres which allows experimentation and demonstrations without the need for large quantities of raw materials. An electrical heating element positioned at the base of the jacket heats water in the jacket which in turn heats the contents of the vessel. This method gives a gentle transfer of heat to ingredients that are often heat sensitive and local 'hot spots' are avoided due to the convective distribution of the heat. Cooling is accomplished by simply metering water from a domestic supply through the jacket. Chilling involves the circulation of chilled water in a closed circuit through an ice bank circulator incorporated in the base of the unit. An emulsifier having a variable speed drive and several options of emulsor head can be lowered into the process fluid. Hands-on experience can be gained by students and full instrumentation allows a complete record of the process to be compiled. An automatic valve changeover system enables uncomplicated operation requiring the student/trainee to simply select the particular process required rather than have to operate an array of manual valves. Description Where necessary, refer to the drawings in Equipment Diagrams section 8. 9.1 Overview Gedpeydh Agofx Ak Uoug The stainless steel jacketed vessel (1) has a polished, hygienic finish and a working capacity of between 10 and 15 litres. Its contents are heated indirectly by cartridge heater (16) in the base of the jacket. The heater is protected from over-temperature by a thermostat (17) adjacent to it. An emulsifier (2) can be lowered into or raised out of the vessel using the locking handle (5). The on/off and variable speed control (14) of this unit are situated on the motor housing and not on the control console. A green running light (7) indicates when the emulsor motor is switched on. The emulsor head (3) can easily be interchanged with any of the alternatives supplied by simply removing the finger-nuts securing the head to the drive shaft. A lid (6) is provided to prevent any airborne contamination during long periods of heat treatment. Chilled water is circulated from an ice bank unit (12) situated beneath the processing vessel. After a period of time required to build up an ice bank, this will provide chilled water to the vessel jacket, cooling the contents to a temperature suitable for storage/curing. The ice bank is usually used after an initial rapid cooling by circulating cold water from a domestic supply. 3-way valves (10) and (11) are used to automatically select either open circuit domestic supply cooling or closed circuit chilled water cooling. In both cases the water passes through a flowmeter (13) where the flow rate can be adjusted manually by control valve (14). From the flowmeter, the water enters the base of the vessel jacket after passing through an in-line non-return valve (15). The water leaves the jacket diagonally opposite the inlet, at the top of the vessel. A pressure relief valve is incorpor...
