Microfilm Cooker


The Microfilm cooker sits at the heart of the Baker Perkins AutoCook range of flexible cooking systems. The rapid, thin film cooking process is truly unique and delivers consistent high quality across the full range of sugar, low-sugar and sugar-free confectionery products.
High Quality Cooking
The unique swept,
thin-film Microfilm process provides rapid, precise and consistent
cooking of a wide variety of confectionery syrups. Rapid
evaporation ensures that cooking to final solids takes place with
minimal process inversion of sugars or burning of dairy
ingredients.
Versatile
The process is suitable for many
types of sugar confectionery syrup, including low-sugar and
sugar-free. Hard candy, cream and high milk candies are easily
handled with excellent control of moisture and, where required,
caramelisation. The range extends to soft confectionery including
toffee, caramel, gums, jellies and fruit pastes.
Efficient
The continuous process produces
very little waste and is efficient in its use of energy and water.
Optional features are available to improve these even further,
including an indirect condenser to minimise cooling water
requirements, plus systems to recover heat from flash steam All
these reduce energy consumption.
Easy to Operate
Fully automatic PLC
control with a touch screen HMI is enhanced by the ability for
operators to view the product at key stages during the process.
Cleaning is by a simple flush-through procedure with intervals
dependent on the products being cooked.
