While many early design steam cookers are still in use throughout the industry, Komax has created a smaller diameter version of its highly successful direct steam heater specifically for the world of pulp stock, and the results have been nothing but success.

What’s Different?

Wondering what’s so revolutionary about our starch cooker? Absolutely everything, but here are a few of the highlights.

• We’ve Eliminated Noise and Vibration: One of the biggest complaints of the older direct steam cookers is the noise and vibration they so often cause, and that can lead to poor working conditions and a constant need for maintenance with regard to the other equipment. With our version, though, there are no moving parts, and that means its virtually silent.
• Six In-Line Mixing Chambers: High efficiency is always key in the pulp industry, so we’ve included six different mixing chambers to ensure you get continual division and recombination for a better level of efficiency. The product and the steam come from the cavities at exactly the same temperature with no shock or vibration.
• Better Materials: Our starch cooker is constructed of 316 Stainless steel with 150 lb RFSO flanged end connections, which means you’re going to get a longer lasting product that needs virtually no maintenance.

Your choice of equipment absolutely matters, no matter what your industry, but we’ve worked hard to design this just for the pulp industry, and the results in every installation have been nothing short of astonishing.

Whether you need a custom design or you just need one that works a bit like those we’ve installed before, we’d be happy to help. Contact us today to learn more.
