Steam Infusion hits the States with Statco-DSI
We’re delighted to announce our latest international partnership with Statco-DSI Process Systems, the largest privately held distributor and systems integrator in the United States. They are now the official distributor of our patented Steam Infusion Vaction™ Pump technology throughout the US.
Steam Infusion is a simple, disruptive cooking process that helps food manufacturers overcome many of the challenges they face every day including burn-on contamination, variable product consistency and slow cooking times. By offering Steam Infusion to the US market, Statco-DSI can help American food manufacturers reduce their cleaning and cooking times and energy consumption, increase their cooking capacity and eliminate burn-on and Maillard reactions in a wide variety of food products.
The Steam Infusion Vaction™ Pump is a disruptive device that sits within a cooking vessel, or integrated in-line, and uses steam as the motive force to simultaneously heat, mix and pump liquids with and without particulates. The advanced food processing device can heat 2,204lbs (1,000kg) of product from 60°F to 194°F (15°C to 90°C) in five minutes with no burn or particulate damage. A Steam Infusion cooking lance can be easily retrofitted into new or existing cooking vessels, while an In-Line Vaction Pump can also be fitted directly into the line, typically achieving twice the cooking capacity. Around for over 15 years, we catalyzed the technology and its potential in food production with a £1 million (~$1.2 million) UK government funded Innovate UK project, together with the University of Lincoln and a leading UK food manufacturer.
Statco-DSI is recognized as one of the largest process equipment distributors and systems integrators for the sanitary processing market in North America, offering an extensive portfolio of sanitary equipment, systems and services and start-to-finish support in industries such as food and beverage, bio-pharm and cosmetics. With eleven sales and engineering offices strategically located throughout the United States, the nationwide network of more than 150 seasoned professionals covers the entire country. Each project the company takes on is completed efficiently and economically, adhering to all relevant regulations, and can range from one piece of equipment to an entire plant, offering manufacturers the ultimate flexibility.
“It’s great news that Statco-DSI has joined the Steam Infusion family as we think that Steam Infusion can make a big difference to the operations of a wide range of US food manufacturers. Thanks to this latest partnership, we know that Steam Infusion customers will be in the best hands, enjoying all the benefits of our award-winning technology with the experience and expertise that Statco-DSI brings to the table.”
“Adding Steam Infusion to our portfolio was an easy choice. The results of existing Steam Infusion projects really speak for themselves and we think that we can help US manufacturers achieve unique, differentiated products combining this technology with our existing equipment and systems.”
