Improving meat and Béchamel sauce cooks
Greencore has improved their meat cooks and béchamel sauce production with Steam Infusion. The Steam Infusion Vaction™ technology has been retrofitted to existing kettles, speeding up production times. Significantly, the lack of burn-on contamination has slashed cleaning times allowing twice as many batches to be completed in a shift. Greencore is also using Steam Infusion for meat cooks, benefiting from improved quality due to the homogenising effect the process has on fat.
“The Steam Infusion Vaction™ technology has allowed us to nearly double our previous throughput rates in sauce production. On top of this our meat sauce quality and consistency has improved dramatically. It is through the flexible support and engagement of the OAL team with our own that has allowed us to make such significant inroads into the benefits of this retrofit system.”
