Together with the Dutch potato processing company Rixona, which is part of the Aviko group, DTS have created what they call to be the largest steam cooker in the world today.
Processing equipment manufacturer Dutch Tec Source (DTS) has been supplying its technology to the potato processing industry for decades. The company has gained a reputation for supplying machinery and services to the global potato processing industry and is recognized as a market leader in auger based machinery for blanching and steaming. And as a confirmation that no task is too big for the DTS team, the Dutch company has announced that they have constructed the largest single screw steam cooker in the world for Aviko Rixona, a major Dutch producer of dehydrated potato products. With staggering capacity figures of steaming more than 13 thousand kilograms of sliced potatoes per hour, one can imagine the size being a highly significant factor. A screw diameter of 2.3 meters, an overall height of 6,4 meters and a total body length of over 10 meters long will make sure these large quantities can be processed without any problem. As stated in a communication released by DTS: “This revolutionary machine has now come to life, thanks to Dutch cleverness combined with the willingness to always look for improvement and new technology are the pillars underneath this successful cooperation between two companies with shared values.”
