Continuous hydrating

Sobatech’s continuous hydrater is designed to evenly hydrate texturized vegetable proteins (TVP) in a closed, automated process. Ideal for high-volume plant-based meat production, the system ensures consistent results, ready for further processing in a continuous line.

Continuous hydrater for the automated industrial production of plant-based meat

Time

The continuous hydrater is designed to hydrate voluminous masses over time.

Temperature

The closed system helps stabilize internal temperature, protecting structure and texture.

Recipe-controlled

Inline dosing of dry TVP and water is fully automated and controlled according to the recipe for precise hydration.

Technical specifications

Between 2018 and 2020, the plant-based meat market revenue has increased by more than 83%. Meat replacers characterised by being indistinguisable from real meat mostly consist of Texturized Vegetable Proteins (TVP).  In order to offer a complete automated and continuous solution for the production of fibrous plant-based meat, Sobatech now offers a continuous (TVP) hydrater.

This continuous hydrater offers an ideal solution to hydrate voluminous masses over time. It can be designed in different sizes and measurements so that it can hold products in high quantities.

The hydration system is a closed system that is continuously fed with product. Inside the machine, the TVPs are hydrated in an equal and consistent manner without destroying its structure. This results in an equally hydrated TVP that is lump-free and ready to be further processed.

  • Automatic feeding of dry TVP (in different shapes and sizes)
  • Continuous process (fully automated)
  • System automatically feeds TVP into further continuous mixing phase
  • Ability to hydrate variety of voluminous masses for different applications
