ABSTRACT:
A stainless steel tank has an inlet for food products such as pasta and a discharge end where the food product is discharged. A perforated cylinder is mounted to rotate within the tank and an auger is positioned within the cylinder to advance food product from the inlet to the discharge of the tank. The auger is fitted with a plurality of lifting baffles to extend radially inwardly from the cylinder between two adjacent flights of the auger to carry food products sidewardly and lift the food product out of water contained within the tank and allow the food product to tumble back into the water. Two manifolds extend into the tank beneath the perforated cylinder and have a plurality of apertures. A controller controls a supply of steam and a supply of pressurized air to selectively introduce steam and compressed air through the manifold apertures into the tank. The combination of steam and compressed air produces highly agitated regions within the tank which advantageously prevent the food products from sticking together.
