 A.M.P Rose (www.amp-rose.com)
A new design of continuous toffee cooker was shown by A.M.P Rose. The
system comprises a load-cell based raw material dosing and dissolving
unit, a dissolver, a continuous toffee cooker, and colour/flavour
metering and feeding unit. These component parts are linked together
with the appropriate transfer pumps/pipework and the whole system is
skid-mounted and manufactured from food-grade stainless steel.
 The PLC controlled system uses an operator interface to provide
flexibility, in terms of different recipes, and consistent product
quality.
The cooker works on the same principle as a batch cooker, with the
cooking and caramelization being achieved simultaneously. The end
result is a well emulsified, smooth caramel with accurate control of
the final moisture content, flavour and colour, says the company.
The final cooked product is discharged onto a cooling drum, with an
integrated belt conveyor, which takes the product directly to the batch
roller for further processing. This new development allows A.M.P Rose
to offer a complete manufacturing and packaging system, from the raw
material feeding through to the wrapped and bagged product, which
requires minimal operator intervention. Outputs of up to 1500kgs/hr are
possible.
