Ready to Eat (RTE) Food Processing Automation

Cybernetik’s Ready to Eat Food Processing Automation is a fast and efficient industrial cooking solution. The system is designed to retain the nutritional value and flavours of ready to eat meals, minimize material burn on during cooking, and loss during power outages. Its recipe selection system enables precise ingredient addition for making multiple RTE products. Apart from the cooking machinery, the setup includes holding and packaging equipment.

Operations of the food processing line start with a buggy that loads ingredients into the cooking kettle via a buggy lifter and tipper. The system operates as per the selected recipe. A tilting kettle is available for specific operations such as tadka addition. A buffer tank downstream of the kettles prevents wastage during power outages. The food processing automation incorporates a retort to extend shelf life of ready to eat products. A pouch packer for the line allows immediate packaging. An alternative line uses a soaking silo before the actual cooking machinery for as-required pre-processing.
