High-Performance Features of Our Industrial Cooking Vessels

The Size Cooker maintains low viscosity even with starch sizes and is compatible with any grade or size. It is built to guarantee simple operation and minimal maintenance. The pressure vessel is made of stainless steel 304/316, has glass wool insulation, and is covered externally to keep heat in.

High torque AC geared motors are used to positively drive the stain- less steel multilayer blade stirrer. Direct Steam inlet through stain- less steel pipe with holes. Size Material is loaded through a top man- hole with a hinged door and eyebolts.

What Is an Industrial Cooking Vessel?

An industrial cooking vessel is a container used to heat and mix materials under defined process conditions. In textile sizing, a cooking vessel or size cooker is used to prepare starch-based and other compatible sizing mixtures.
Heating supports the preparation process, while a motor-driven stirrer helps distribute the ingredients throughout the batch. Cooking temperature, mixing time and the recipe must be controlled according to the sizing material being processed.

Cooking Vessels for Textile Sizing Preparation

Textile sizing preparation requires a suitable combination of heating, mixing and batch control. A cooking vessel provides a dedicated space for preparing the sizing mixture before it is transferred to the next stage.
For starch-based recipes, the required temperature and cooking time depend on the formulation. Mixing performance also depends on batch volume, viscosity and stirrer selection.
When requesting a textile size cooker, share:

  • Type of starch or sizing material
  • Required working volume per batch
  • Starting and target process temperatures
  • Expected mixture viscosity
  • Required cooking time
  • Available steam conditions
  • Loading and discharge requirements

These details help establish the appropriate vessel configuration.

Stainless Steel Cooking Vessels in SS 304 and SS 316

SS 304 Cooking Vessel

SS 304 can be considered for compatible process mixtures and cleaning conditions. Its suitability should be reviewed using the actual materials handled in the vessel.

SS 316 Cooking Vessel

SS 316 may be considered where the process requires its additional corrosion resistance. The grade should still be checked against the chemical composition, concentration and operating temperature.

FAQs – Cooking Vessel

What is a cooking vessel used for in textile mills?

A cooking vessel is used to heat and mix sizing materials during preparation. It helps produce a batch of sizing mixture for use in the textile sizing process.

What capacities are available from Dhaval Engineering Works?

The published cooking vessel range is 500 litres to 10,000 litres. Confirm the usable working volume for the selected model when discussing your batch requirements.

Are cooking vessels available in SS 304 and SS 316?

Yes. Dhaval Engineering Works offers SS 304 and SS 316 construction. The suitable grade depends on the process mixture, cleaning chemicals and operating conditions.

What is the difference between direct and indirect heating?

Direct heating introduces steam into the mixture. Indirect heating transfers heat through a separating surface. The choice depends on the recipe and whether steam contact and added condensate are acceptable.

Does the cooking vessel include a stirrer?

The published design includes a multilayer stainless steel blade stirrer driven by a high-torque AC geared motor. Confirm the drive and mixing arrangement for your selected capacity and material viscosity.

Can I choose an open or pressurized cooking vessel?

Yes. Both designs are listed in the product range. The suitable option depends on the required pressure, temperature and process arrangement.
