AQUAMAT® TWIN

The AQUAMAT® TWIN is a water bath installation from VEMAG which is both applied for packed food and for cooking and cooling of meat products in artificial casing. There is also a possibility to cook vegetables, potatoes or even pasta.

It is a two-storied installation, i.e. it works on two levels one above the other. Products being heated on the upper level and cooled on the lower one. 

• Gently cooking, pasteurizing and cooling in water bath with hardly any space requirement, double-deck
• Accurate processing time by use of wire belts with drivers
• Separation of tracks makes it possible to produce 4 products at the same time with 2 different process times
• Automatic process for saving considerable staff outlay
• Water circuit saves operating costs
• Gentle treatment without handling reduces reject product significantly
• Easiest cleaning and maintenance due to the fact that the entire length of the installation is accessible at any point through large lock-open covers 

The calculation of the cost savings shown beneath is based on a production of sausages with synthetic casings with calibre 20, a length of 190 mm and a weight per piece of 60g. In the example the production is running on 5 days and 80 hours per week in a two shift operation and 1.000 sausages are made per hour.

The enormous water saving potential is getting obvious especially by seeing the water consumption. The water circulation system reduces the water consumption radically.

For the AQUAMAT only a minimal assignment of personnel is needed thanks to the high automation grade. One employee alone can manage and control the whole installation during one shift.

If we add furthermore the energy costs to our example, we get the total monthly costs of the production as follows:
