Manual water feeding using hoses or buckets is notoriously inconsistent, wastes labor, and risks thermal burns. This horizontal cooking mixer with automatic water dosing incorporates an automated fluid management system directly connected to the PLC touchscreen. Operators program multi-stage water addition directly into the cooking recipe: adding initial hydration for starch dissolution, timed mid-cook water replenishment to compensate for evaporation, and final moisture adjustments—all metered accurately to ±1.0%.

Where conventional vertical agitators stall or flex under dense pastes, the horizontal shaft configuration delivers direct mechanical advantage. Driven by a heavy-duty helical gear reducer, the horizontal agitator arms generate an intensive folding and shearing action. The blades lift dense, dough-like material from the bottom, fold it over the central axis, and press it back against the jacketed shell, achieving rapid de-aeration, lump elimination, and silky textural uniformity.

High-sugar bakery fillings and bean pastes form an insulating caramelized layer within seconds if product remains stationary against a heated wall. The horizontal cooking mixer with automatic water dosing utilizes spring-loaded virgin PTFE scraper blades along the entire length of the radial paddles. The scrapers continuously clear the internal trough surface, maximizing thermal transfer efficiency and eliminating burnt specks.

Emptying heavy, sticky pastes by hand is slow and hazardous. Our dual heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders smoothly rotate the U-trough past 90 degrees, allowing gravity and slow forward agitation to discharge viscous product cleanly into 200L Euro buggies or hopper pumps. The integrated water supply system also serves as a rapid pre-rinse aid: warm wash water can be dosed into the trough automatically to flush residual starches and sugars before tilting.
