The AIRMASTER® BKQ AIRJET is a high-performance unit for cooking, steaming, baking and roasting at process temperatures up to 300°C. It works with the unique REICH cross-flow circulating air principle, which guarantees maximum performance and short processing times with optimum product quality.
It has been designed specifically for products that are placed in catering dishes or on grills. Hanging products can of course also be treated in an optimum way. Production capacities far above the normal levels can be achieved with its extremely high power reserves. The large variety of available processes makes this system the ideal replacement for traditional combi-steamers for the industrial standard. BKQ units are available as one or two-trolley units.
The new AIRMASTER® BKQ AIRJET represents the consistent further development of the proven AIRMASTER® UKQ AIRJET, which set new standards with its horizontal airflow principle. Convince yourself of the varied possible uses of the AIRMASTER® BKQ AIRJET and learn about the exciting details of the generation of universal roasting units.
Depending on the product, up to 35 levels are possible per trolley. Different trolley designs are also available for catering dishes. With many products, double the capacity can be achieved per trolley compared to standard systems. Combined with a reduced processing time as a result of the enormous airflow, considerably larger capacity increases can also be achieved.
With regard to consistency and efficiency, the AIRMASTER® UKQ AIRJET sets new standards in the area of thermal treatment of lying products at high temperatures. Its possible applications range from reddening, drying, steaming, cooking, hot-air cooking, roasting and baking. The AIRMASTER® BKQ AIRJET impresses, for example, in the production of roasted meatloaf and liver loaf with consistent roast colour, crust and uniform core temperature. Another supreme discipline in the high temperature range is the production of roast ham and crispy roasts. The defined splitting of a crisp crust with a uniform roast colour and consistent core temperature becomes child's play.
As a result of the REICH cross-flow circulating air principle, completely consistent temperatures are achieved in the treatment area, and therefore also a homogeneous browning and crust formation. When treating products in catering dishes, on roasting trays or with grilling trays, the full height of the loading trolley can be used.
Naturally there is integrated, fully-automatic CIP cleaning. Many available equipment options ensure that you can configure your unit precisely according to your specific requirements.
Unit Description
The chamber housing of the AIRMASTER® BKQ comprises a chamber module. It is very sturdy and is made of 100 % chromium-nickel steel, material no. 1.4301, and is welded to be gas and steam-tight. Mineral full insulation (temperature-resistant up to +650°C) protects against heat losses. Importance was attached to avoiding thermal bridges in the construction of the unit.
- Added-value from modular design:
- Fully stainless steel 1.4301
- Mineral full insulation
- No uninsulated housing parts
- No thermal bridges
- Low-maintenance and reliable
- Particular stability and service life
The top section of the unit contains the air preparation unit with ventilator and electric heat battery or heat exchanger for gas or oil burner.
The process air is blown gently into the unit from one side using specially developed air guide walls. The air is extracted again on the opposite side. Sturdy air exchange flaps with large free airways change the direction of blowing and suction once a minute. With the vertically arranged air outlets, the number of levels in the chamber trolley or the distance can be varied, depending on the product, without a negative effect on consistency. Compared to the competition, REICH systems work with particularly strong ventilators, thereby achieving more output and efficiency. Compared to the UK series, the circulating air volume has been increased again in the UKQ series.
More output:
- Highest air volumes
- Short, energy-efficient processes
- Maximum yield
- Greatest possible consistency
- Best product quality
- High load capacity
- Process temperatures up to + 300 °C
Only high quality products from German brand manufacturers are used for all heavily used parts such as motors, ventilator impellers,valves, cylinders, etc. In this way we ensure that the highest quality and reliability are achieved in detail.
Each AIRMASTER® has a robust chamber floor. Packing with heavily loaded chamber trolleys is not a problem. In a special version, packing is also possible using forklifts. The floor construction is kept very flat and has a sloped entrance. The substructure of the chamber floor is reinforced in the direction of travel with strong U profiles.
All AIRMASTER® systems are fitted with one or more fully insulated, stable block doors, which are sealed against the chamber housing all the way around with a silicon seal. The door hinges are made entirely from chromium-nickel steel for the high demands of seal and long service life. The door stop can be fitted left or right as required.
For fresh air, exhaust and smoke flaps, tight-closing, metallic folding flaps or silicon rubber rotating flaps are used. These flaps have multifunctional positions for controlling the amount of the volume flows.
The systems can be fitted either with electric heating, gas or oil-burner heating.
