Maize and grain hydration using OAL Steam Infusion to commercially batch produce the base for the African drink "Maheu" at a rate of 15,000ltrs per hour. For more information about OAL Steam Infusion, please visit steaminfusion....
In Africa, food and beverage manufacturers are using OAL's Steam Infusion to instantly hydrate maize flour to produce maize based drinks. The cutting edge technology improves product quality and significantly reduces the system footprint and processing times of maize and other grains. This system can manufacture 15,000 litres of Maheu an hour using only 1 5,000 litre vessel to hydrate maize flour. This shows the control screen for the hydration process. Steam Infusion is used to hydrate maize flour up to concentrations of 12%. This maize slurry is fermented at 60 degrees Celcius for 2 hours before continuously passing through 2 Steam Infusion Vaction Units to heat the final product to 90 degrees before filling. By using Steam Infusion manufacturers can realise significant business benefits. Steam Infusion does not expose the product to excess temperatures because of the partial vacuum generated in the Vaction Unit improving product quality by eliminating burn-on contamination. There are no moving parts making the process easy to clean and maintain. Furthermore, it's a near perfect heating process. 95% of steam energy is transferred to the product a significant improvement on the traditional Steam Jacket. The Guardian newspaper and Shell Springboard have endorsed Steam Infusion as a clean technology for the future food factory. The process itself is simpler, with fewer stages. This means we need significantly less capital equipment than traditional processes. OALSteam Infusion is the lowest cost and most efficient process for hydrating maize and other cereals.
OAL Steam Infusion Hydration systems can hydrate maize flour at throughput rates from 2,000ltrs p/h to 30,000ltrs p/h with a final temperature of up to 85C and a maize % between 5 -12d%.
The OAL Hydration System consists of a processing vessel, In-Line Vaction™ Units, powder incorporation system, CIP system and a steam conditioning system.
Steam Infusion is a revolutionary heating and mixing process recognised as the #1 Emerging Cleantech technology by the Guardian Newspaper. The technology is being researched under a £1million Innovate UK project to create more nutritional foods.
