PROCESS CONTROL

Three factors. Your desired result.

01

Temperature

High process temperatures matched to the product and method.

02

Airflow

Reversing crossflow for uniform treatment.

03

Humidity

Matched to the product and desired roasting, cooking or baking result.

YOUR BENEFITS

The desired result. Uniformly throughout the trolley.

01

Reversing cross-flow

Alternating air discharge from the left and right.

02

Results suited to the product

Temperature, air distribution and humidity are matched to the desired roasting, cooking or baking result.

03

Repeatable programmes

Coordinated process parameters support repeatable results.

ROASTING · BAKING · HOT-AIR COOKING

High temperatures. Uniform results.

SORGO roasting and baking systems combine a highly insulated stainless steel chamber with reversing cross-flow air circulation.

REVERSING CROSS-FLOW

Targeted airflow. Matched to product and load.

The process air flows horizontally through the products across the full trolley height and is returned on the opposite side. Pneumatically controlled reversing dampers automatically alternate the flow direction between left and right.

Three air supply designs are available. The appropriate solution is matched to the product, trolley load and process.

  1. 01

    Adjustable air slots

    Air supply from left, right and centre. Slot height, number and settings follow the rack levels and trolley loading.

  2. 02

    Perforated-sheet airflow

    Specially shaped perforations direct conditioned air into the treatment chamber.

  3. 03

    Nozzle airflow

    Specially shaped nozzles direct conditioned air precisely into the treatment chamber.

Equipment

  • Uniform product treatment over the trolley height and loading depth
  • Stepless air circulation via frequency inverter (optional)
  • Sectionally adjustable air discharge
  • Fully insulated entrance door with a continuous silicone seal and robust latch.

INSIDE THE DESIGN

HEATING

The right heating system for your operation.

HP steam, electric or gas/oil – matched to your energy supply and processes.

HP STEAM HEATING

HP steam coil manufactured in-house.

The SORGO-manufactured HP steam coil in 1.4301 stainless steel transfers heat from the heating steam to the circulating process air. The spiral-finned tubes provide a particularly large heat transfer surface. This gives the coil significantly higher efficiency than a design using smooth tubes.

ELECTRIC HEATING

Electric heating coil in the upper section of the system.

The electric heating coil is made entirely of high-quality 1.4876 chromium-nickel steel and is installed in the upper section of the system. It transfers electrically generated heat to the circulating process air.

GAS AND OIL HEATING

Heat exchanger manufactured in-house.

The tubular heat exchanger is manufactured by SORGO from heat-resistant, thick-walled 1.4876 stainless steel and installed in the upper section of the system. Depending on the configuration, heating is provided by a high-performance gas burner or an oil burner.

Heat is transferred through the tube surfaces to the circulating process air. The design aims for high efficiency and low flue gas temperatures. Heating can thus be matched to the gas or oil supply available at the facility.

OPTIONAL CIP CLEANING

Fully automatic CIP cleaning

Available as an option. The programme-controlled system performs cleaning, contact time and fresh-water rinsing of the system.

  1. 01Central cleaning station

    One central station supplies several connected systems and cleans them automatically in sequence.

  2. 02Adjustable dosing

    Cleaning agent dosing can be adjusted from 1 to 10%.

  3. 03Pressure boosting

    A powerful stainless steel pump provides a cleaning pressure of approximately 10 bar. This makes the system independent of the customer's mains water pressure.

  4. 04Automatic fresh-water rinsing

    After cleaning and contact time, the system automatically rinses with clean water.

CONTROL & DOCUMENTATION

SORGO SCS X1 – your processes under control.

Intuitive operation on a 15.6-inch industrial touchscreen, storable programmes and precise process control. Also discover SORGO INSPECT for central documentation and optional remote operation via smartphone or tablet.

INSTALLATION & SYSTEM FLOOR

Three floor designs.

Matched to installation, loading and hygiene requirements.

01Installation on standard floorSimplest building preparation

The chamber is installed on a finished production floor with sufficient load-bearing capacity. An entry lip is used or a suitable entry plate manufactured to ensure a safe transition.

Simplest building preparation
02Recessed and flush with floor levelEasy entry for heavy trolleys

The system is recessed into an opening in the production floor and precisely levelled using four adjustment screws. The full area beneath the system floor is then filled with fluid concrete. The upper surface of the system floor is flush with the production floor, allowing loading trolleys to be pushed in easily.

Easy entry for heavy trolleys
03Hygienic floor with underfloor cleaningMaximum hygiene and cleanability

A robust system floor with a sealed welded underside stands on adjustable feet in a hygienic tray. Two upward-facing cleaning nozzles specifically rinse the area beneath the system floor.

Maximum hygiene and cleanability

All three floor variants can optionally be reinforced for heavy loads of up to 3 tonnes per trolley position.
