Carablend Toffee Cooker

Open the image gallery

The Carablend forms part of an overall toffee processing plant and is used primarily to cook and caramelise toffee caramel syrups. The unit can also be used to reduce the toffee temperature after cooking or to blend in additional ingredients such as butter, fondant, nuts and flavourings. The Carablend can be used for caramelising only if pre-cooked syrup is used.

A minimal amount of evaporation takes place within the Carablend. Outputs range from 250 to 1100 kg/hour depending upon whether external dissolving is used and if two Carablends are used in series. Flexible operation with degree of cooking and caramelisation can be varied independently.

Carablend is a horizontally mounted scraped surface heat exchanger, with a shaftless power driven scraper, and a four zone steam jacketed open top barrel. Each zone has independent steam controls. The scraper has a variable speed drive to vary throughput and has a forward and backward moving design which ensures a thorough mixing action. Two forward to one reverse movement the scraper blade sweeps the trough surface preventing build up and burn on.

At the discharge end of the barrel there is an overflow weir arrangement which is adjustable for height which in turn varies the height of product in the barrel and in consequence the retention time of the product. The Carablend receives a continuous supply of syrup. This can be an undissolved coolmix, a dissolved syrup, a hot undissolved premix or a partially cooked syrup.

The Carablend can be floor mounted or on a high level platform and comes complete with stainless steel lagging, steam & electrical controls. Washout and splash trays can be provided. Automatic weir overflow control, collecting chamber and discharge pump for product transfer to next process.

Single and double units are available designated TCB1 and TCB2. The Carablend is manufactured to accepted pressure vessel regulations.
