Frequently asked questions

What is a static vacuum cooker and what does it cook?

It is a trolley-based cooking unit inside a cylindrical chamber, designed for tuna and pelagic fish. It works under vacuum to optimise yield and the texture of the fish.

What capacity does it have?

Cooking capacity is 700 kg per trolley. Dimensions and the number of trolleys are adapted to the processing hall: it is built from 1 trolley up to 10 or more, with lengths from 1,000 to 14,000 mm depending on the model.

How does it generate the vacuum?

With a self-contained vacuum unit built directly into the machine, using an ejector that generates the vacuum by steam injection. The doors open and close hydraulically and seal with a floating ring on a high-tightness gasket.

Can it run automatically and store recipes?

Yes. It supports manual mode or a 100% automatic programmable cycle. The multiprocessor thermal control stores up to 120 recipes that the customer can parameterise, adaptable to any size or species, and can integrate up to 8 machines in the same centralised control system.

How is heat distribution validated?

The machine is delivered with heat distribution tests carried out with E-VAL PRO equipment and VALSUITE PRO software (Ellab), following GAMP and FDA guidelines. In addition, the video record independent of the PLC guarantees traceability in line with FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

Do you offer remote assistance?

Yes. The equipment allows real-time remote diagnostics and technical assistance through a direct connection, and it is compatible with SCADA / MES plant systems, which makes preventive maintenance easier.
