BCH Micro Extrusion Line
Product Name
BCH Micro Extrusion Line
Description
BCH’s new micro confectionery extrusion line is a cost-effective solution for any new start-up companies as well as certain developing markets within the Middle East, Africa and Asia who wish to gain a foothold in the sector, without committing huge initial outlay. The new user-friendly and easy-to-install solution should be of interest to those niche companies serving smaller segments of the confectionery industry. The line presents a viable option as users invariably lack the large sales volumes to warrant investment in larger, more expensive production lines and may also offer advantages to test kitchens environments.

In addition to its ability to extrude traditional confectionery products, the new micro extrusion line has also been designed in tune with the continued move towards more responsible, healthy-eating attitudes. As a result, the new line offers the capability for 100% fruit and vegetable extrusion to suit the latest consumer trends for natural, organic and clean ingredient labels on snack products.

The micro extrusion line has a 300mm product width for output capacities of up to 150kg/hr of liquorice product and up to 300kg/hr of liquorice and sugar paste co-extrusion.

BCH ProWok
Product Name
BCH ProWok
Description
Fresh & healthy, high quality stir fry production. A Chef quality process.
The BCH ProWok is an industrial wok, that for the first time makes it possible to retain the crispness and bite in vegetables, the taste and sizzled rind in joints of meat, and makes preparation of the food possible using a maximum of 1% fat or oil. The ProWok now makes it possible to mass produce vegetables of a quality equal to those prepared freshly at home. For instance it is possible to produce meat and vegetable pieces for pizzas, wok dishes etc. so that the characteristic roasted taste is retained and it is possible to manufacture products for re-heating (even in microwave ovens) that retain their crispness and fresh taste when served.

Problems
The problems involved in processed food are well known. Vegetables lose their crispness and bite, not least because of the traditional blanching before freezing, and roast meat joints lose their characteristic roasted taste, getting boiled rather than roasted or end up swimming in the oil that is often needed to cook them.

Solutions
The patented method used in ProWok solves these problems. The food is turned constantly in a copper-coated steel trough at a temperature of up to 300°C. The food can be roasted using only 1% fat. Some of the natural water content evaporates along the way. The crispness and taste are retained. ProWok can be run on both gas (recommended) and electricity. It has a capacity of up to 400kg raw ingredients per hour, depending on the type of product. ProWok can be used for processing both individual raw ingredients and mixtures, for instance, casseroles containing both meat and vegetables.

The system is 100% computer controlled and can be integrated into a company’s own development/quality management system. OR Calling on our vast experience in the food and confectionery industries our electrical and software engineers will develop a control system that specifically matches the process requirements of any individual plant. The software can be developed for use on any of the leading PLC manufacturers equipment and a full SCADA package can be added to include recipe management, real time and historical trending, batch reports and complete overview of required.

Continuous Fruit Cooking & Extrusion System
Product Name
Continuous Fruit Cooking & Extrusion System
Description
BCH have developed a NEW 100% fruit cooking and extrusion system. The system is a combination of BCH's large surface area MaxiVap Evaporator technology which is used for long running caramel plants combined with BCH's liquorice extrusion technology.

The BCH Jam System has evolved by merging with BCH extrusion technology. The fruit cooking and extrusion system therefore has enabled BCH to achieve evaporation of high moisture fruit mixes to typically 85% solids, at which point they have a consistency of a soft dough which can be extruded using BCH extrusion technology. This then enables the production of a healthy snack bar using 100% organic fruit ingredients which can be co-extruded in a variety of different colours, shapes and flavours.

BCH manufacture a range of extruders for the confectionery industry, including side flow, twin screw, continuous or batch fed. The extruders are primarily designed to handle hot, dough textures and have been used to extrude caramel, cheese, fudge, fruit paste and liquorice.

Liquorice Process Systems
Product Name
Liquorice Process Systems
Description
BCH is regarded as the world leader and has built an extensive knowledge base in the processing and handling of very viscous products like liquorice / licorice and fruit twist. In fact BCH produced their first liquorice / licorice press 170 years ago, in 1835, and has been producing equipment for liquorice ever since.

This has been as a result of a high demand to develop new products and innovation. A number of full turnkey process lines have recently been completed for various confectionery manufacturers across Europe and America, including fully automated lines for the production of both continuous extruded liquorice / licorice and liquorice / licorice allsorts.

From design and manufacture BCH can offer full ingredient feed systems to final guillotining offering product flexibility in terms of co-extrusion combinations and glazed or sugar dusted finishes.

Vacuum Cooking Systems
Product Name
Vacuum Cooking Systems
Description
BCH have long been associated with the design of high quality vacuum cooking systems, built to the highest standards, which are used worldwide. The vacum cooking process gently cooks & simmers products at temperatures below the equivalent atmospheric temperature - this ensures that product caramelisation and vapour evaporation levels can both be controlled repeatedly to your product requirements. These systems can offer improved product quality, helping the product to retain the natural flavour, colour and especially whole fruit integrity. It is ideal for table jams, jellies, preserves, fruits, chutneys and bakery jam cooking processes.

Vacuum Cooling
Product Name
Vacuum Cooling
Description
Vacuum Cooling is a well proven method of process batch cooling, and BCH has been at the forefront of this technology for over 25 years. By using vacuum technology, we are able to reduce the boiling point of a product - driving out the latent heat by boiling off vapour, which in turn causes the product to fall in temperature. Application of vacuum directly to the product achieves very fast cooling rates - typically from 90 degrees C to 5 degrees C with 30 to 45 minutes. Although cooling rates can vary between different products, this system offers a high level of repeatability, consistency and quality.
