Viscous product transfer
Carry the cooked batch to the filler without losing its texture.
Particle-preserving agitation for jam production
Move heat and ingredients while keeping the agreed fruit pieces.
Input → output
Incoming
A recipe with a specified fruit-piece size, firmness and loading.
Handover
A mixed batch evaluated for particle retention and distribution.
Preservation of texture
Gentle is a performance requirement, not just a slow-speed label. Geometry, clearances, batch depth, addition timing and fruit firmness influence breakage.
Evidence chain
Sample before cooking, after discharge and after filling. Compare the same particle method at each point so pump or filler damage is not incorrectly blamed on the agitator.
Compatibility
Review the agitator and scraper arrangement as part of the chosen cooker. A separate high-shear premix may prepare ingredients without passing the finished piece-containing batch through it.
Specify the actual configuration
| Parameter | Required basis |
|---|---|
| Particle specification | Size distribution, firmness and retained fraction |
| Agitator design | Geometry, clearances, speed and loading conditions |
| Sampling plan | Inlet, cooked, transferred and packed comparisons |
Cleaning, access and operating limits
Provide access behind blades and around scrapers; isolate moving parts and inspect for trapped fruit fibres.
Particle integrity cannot be guaranteed from mixer RPM alone.
