Double D has developed a customised Browning Unit designed to produce authentic high colour generation simultaneously on all sides on the product being treated, and without the need for artificial coatings or additives.
Part of the Double D range of Continuous Protein Ovens, the unit consists of a tunnel which delivers controlled hot air to all sides of the product. It is particularly effective on cooked ham logs or bombs, turkey saddles and delicatessen products.
"The unit can be full adjusted to colour all sides of a product," says Ian Burns, Double D's food processing development engineer. "For example, on, say a 4 x 4 log we can evenly colour all four surfaces. Equally, large oval hams can be browned all the way round.
"Consumers and supermarkets are now demanding 100% natural products from manufacturers wherever possible. The Browning Unit gives manufacturers the option of generating exactly the required colour and finish, without having to add external products or additives which are often found in product coatings."
