Industrial caramel cookers

Firex has designed a range of industrial caramel cookers that are capable of managing every phase of the caramelisation process thanks to the FTC electronic control board. In fact, operators can set, save, and monitor every step of the cooking process, as well as program the speed and direction of rotation of the mixer. 

Caramelising with Firex equipment

Caramelisation is a complex series of chemical reactions that leads to the formation of desirable colours and flavours in baked goods and various beverages.
This process begins with melting the sugar at high temperatures, followed by a condensation phase in which the sugars lose water and react with one another.
The following steps in the caramelising process include isomeration and further fragmentation and polymerisation reactions, leading to the production of characteristic flavours and colours, often used as colourings in commercial food products (E150), from colas to soy sauce, from confectionery items to ice cream.

Ingredients and applications

With Firex industrial caramel cookers, you can prepare dry caramel or caramel made with water, and you can produce not only all kinds of caramel-based fillings, but also caramelised dried fruit and fudge. 

Advantages and key features of the Firex caramel cookers

The many key features of Firex cookers include: 

• probes that instantly detect temperature changes; 
• the FTC ( Firex Touch Control ) system manages the heating and all process variables that can be saved in multi-step recipes; 
• Programmable mixer with peek scrapers, to withstand high temperatures.
