ALKAR introduces advanced technology to the TurboChef, a solution for industrial thermal processing. Combining hot air convection, steam & continuous waves of microwave power, the TurboChef is designed to optimize cooking time and yield across a diverse range of food types, including meat, snacks, and pet food.
The TurboChef’s modular construction offers unparalleled flexibility and a 3-15% increase in yield improvements. For facility owners and senior management, this means accelerated processing and improved profitability. Project engineers will appreciate the system's advanced automation and process control, while service technicians will find the equipment's design simplifies maintenance and enhances operational safety.
What sets the TurboChef apart is being the only industrial oven worldwide that combines microwave, convection, and steam heating. This unique capability reduces cooking time by 35% and enhances yield, setting a new standard in thermal processing solutions.
The TurboChef's innovative design supports ALKAR’s commitment to sustainability, reducing wastewater by 50%, which can save up to 5 million gallons (18 million liters) of water annually. The system ensures product safety with its Clean-In-Place cleanability, floor cooling, suppression tunnels, belt wash system that cleans the belt every cycle and RF leakage monitors at both the input and output of the TurboChef oven.
The open wire link design of the belt ensures even airflow and consistent color development, maintaining high quality throughout the 11-foot heat zone. With these features, the TurboChef not only enhances throughput and yield but also aligns with environmental responsibility goals.
