A horizontal cooker for the alpha-starch conversion and gelatinization of raw materials such as rice flour, mochi flour, corn flour, and starch.

This machine’s main feature is the addition of a temporary holding chamber (storage section) between the drum (steaming section) and the twin-shaft kneading unit (kneading section).

An appropriate amount of raw material and water is supplied into a cylindrical drum. Once the materials are added, steam is injected, and the contents are stirred. The stirring shaft uses our proprietary crank mechanism. Unlike a straight shaft, the crank-shaped shaft is mounted horizontally within the drum to promote even steaming and to prevent the material: refined rice flour, mochi, or dough, from adhering to it. After steaming, the processed material drops onto the twin-shaft kneading unit through a shutter installed at the bottom of the drum, from where it is discharged outside the machine.

This model supports fully automatic operation when used in combination with an automatic feeder for materials.

Standard models are available in sizes 60, 80, 120, 160, 200, 300, and 400.
