Lyco Clean-Flow® is designed to work in one or two zone configurations. The Clean-Flow® may pasteurize, blanch, cook or rehydrate in one zone, cool in a second zone or be a stand-alone cooler in a separate machine. Clean-Flow® machines were designed for rapid thorough cleaning and to allow for faster changeover in order to process several different food products per day. The CIP (clean-in-place) cycle is completed in minutes with no or minimal manual involvement.

Suggested Applications:
Pasta, Dry Beans, Vegetables, Rice, Potatoes & Fragile Products

Cut cooling times in half. The Chill-Flow™ Pouch/Tub cooler uses an innovative rotating drum design which cools twice as fast, in half the lineal footage, of any static or belt designs. It does so gently without container damage producing a safer product. Product passes through the bacterial danger zone of 130°F (54.4°C) to 80°F (26.7°C) in half the time of other conventional belt cooler or static tank designs. Submerged water agitated cooling is more energy efficient than air cooling, water deluge belt or belt freezer designs.

Sealed drum separator features enclosed construction that contains odors, improves liquid recovery and aids in temperature control. Perfect for rendering operations, this system effectively applies heat to extract moisture and separate fat, producing superior crax to the press versus a perk pan, to create rich, granular meals for animal feed or other industrial use. Drum slot spacing offers solids removal down to 0.020 to help reduce insoluble impurities and avoid clogs in screens, nozzles and other equipment further down the processing line. Captures a greater amount of solids to reduce waste and increase product recovery.

Suggested Applications:
Wine, Rendering & Wastewater

We were the first manufacturer to place a Simulator on a skid, fully packaged and delivered to our customer’s plants to develop their own unique processes.
