- Turn Key Solutions
- Safe production
... Individual Turn-Key Solutions!
Design of the continuous processing line®
As the Stephan® Conti-Lines are based on a modular system, they can be combined according to the customer requirements.
In the basic system liquids are metered mass proportional and mixed continuously. The Stephan Microcut® can be integrated for inline homogenising.
The product can be heated indirectly by heat exchangers or indirectly by the Stephan direct steam injection techniques. The systems are CIP-cleanable.
Example for compact Stephan toato ketchup line :
Produits
- Mayonnaise
- Ketchup
- Salad sauces
- Baby food
- Mixed products
- Sauces
- Cream soups
- Soups
- Vegetable puree
- Veloute
Key component: Stephan® Continuous Cooker
The Stephan® Continuous Cooker consists of a high shear mixer with direct steam injection nozzles. The product is heated instantly by steam condensation.
Burn-on is avoided. The short heating time is colour and flavour protecting.
Advantages :

- Processing of particulates
- Flavour saving process
- Colour saving process
- Minimized residuals
- Avoiding of burn-on
- Instant heating
Features :

- Direct steam injection nozzles
- Emulsifying or mixing tools
- Controlled throughput
- Controlled temperature
- Variable rotor speed
- Heating up to 96 °C
- Short heating times
Stephan® Conti-Line Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise basically consists of an aqueous phase and an oil phase.
Egg yolk or egg yolk powder is used as an emulsifier.
Continuous processing lines for mayonnaise include mass proportional metering of the liquid, pre-mixing and dispersing of the powders and emulsifying.
