Company Profile
BCH Limited are process engineers for the food and confectionery industries. At this years PPMA show 2009 BCH will be launching their NEW ProWok System.

The BCH ProWok is an industrial wok, that for the first time makes it possible to retain the crispness and bite in vegetables, the taste and sizzled rind in joints of meat, and makes preparation of the food possible using a maximum of 1% fat or oil. The ProWok now makes it possible to mass produce vegetables of a quality equal to those prepared freshly at home. For instance it is possible to produce meat and vegetable pieces for pizzas, wok dishes etc. so that the characteristic roasted taste is retained and it is possible to manufacture products for re-heating (even in microwave ovens) that retain their crispness and fresh taste when served.

For any further information about the BCH ProWok or general enquiries please contact our sales team on +44 (0)1706 852122.

BCH ProWok
Product Name
BCH ProWok
Description
Fresh & healthy, high quality stir fry production.
A chef quality process solution.

The BCH ProWok is an industrial wok, that for the first time makes it possible to retain the crispness and bite in vegetables, the taste and sizzled rind in joints of meat, and makes preparation of the food possible using a maximum of 1% fat or oil. The ProWok now makes it possible to mass produce vegetables of a quality equal to those prepared freshly at home. For instance it is possible to produce meat and vegetable pieces for pizzas, wok dishes etc. so that the characteristic roasted taste is retained and it is possible to manufacture products for re-heating (even in microwave ovens) that retain their crispness and fresh taste when served.

Problems
The problems involved in processed food are well known. Vegetables lose their crispness and bite, not least because of the traditional blanching before freezing, and roast meat joints lose their characteristic roasted taste, getting boiled rather than roasted or end up swimming in the oil that is often needed to cook them.

Solutions
The patented method used in ProWok solves these problems. The food is turned constantly in a copper-coated steel trough at a temperature of up to 300˚C. The food can be roasted using only 1% fat. Some of the natural water content evaporates along the way. The crispness and taste are retained. ProWok can be run on both gas (recommended) and electricity. It has a capacity of up to 400kg raw ingredients per hour, depending on the type of product. ProWok can be used for processing both individual raw ingredients and mixtures, for instance, casseroles containing both meat and vegetables.

The system is 100% computer controlled and can be integrated into a company’s own development/quality management system. OR Calling on our vast experience in the food and confectionery industries our electrical and software engineers will develop a control system that specifically matches the process requirements of any individual plant. The software can be developed for use on any of the leading PLC manufacturers equipment and a full SCADA package can be added to include recipe management, real time and historical trending, batch reports and complete overview of required.

BCH 100% Fruit Cooking and Extrusion System
Product Name
BCH 100% Fruit Cooking and Extrusion System
Description
BCH have developed a 100% fruit cooking and extrusion system. The system is a combination of BCH’s large surface area MaxiVap Evaporator technology which is used for long running caramel plants combined with BCH’s liquorice extrusion technology. The fruit cooking and extrusion system has enabled BCH to achieve evaporation of high moisture fruit mixes to typically 85% solids, at which point they have a consistency of a soft dough which can be extruded using BCH extrusion technology. This then enables the production of a healthy snack bar using 100% organic fruit ingredients which can be co-extruded in a variety of colours, shapes and different flavours.

BCH also manufacture a range of extruders for the confectionery industry, including side flow, twin screw, continuous or batch fed. The extruders are primarily designed to handle hot, dough textures and have been used to extrude caramel, cheese, fudge, fruit paste and liquorice.

Economical Confectionery Extrusion Line
Product Name
Economical Confectionery Extrusion Line
Description
BCH have recently launched a new economical confectionery extrusion line which is a cost-effective solution for new start-up companies as well as certain developing markets within the Middle East, Africa and Asia who wish to gain a foothold in the sector, without committing huge initial outlay. BCH Ltd expects its new user-friendly and easy-to-install solution to be of interest to those niche companies serving smaller segments of the confectionery industry. The new extrusion line presents a viable option as users invariably lack the large sales volumes to warrant investment in larger, more expensive production lines and may also offer advantages to test kitchens environments.

In addition to its ability to extrude traditional confectionery products, BCH’s new extrusion line has also been designed in tune with the continued move towards more responsible, healthy-eating attitudes. As a result, the new line offers the capability for 100% fruit and vegetable extrusion to suit the latest consumer trends for natural, organic and clean ingredient labels on snack products.

Matthew Cottam, Technical Director, BCH Ltd, explains, “Increasingly within the confectionery industry, there are niche providers, striving to differentiate themselves by offering something more special and exquisite than the mass producers. By offering an economical confectionery extrusion line, we are enabling this ‘retro’ market to operate in this smaller-run market segment.”
