T Q M J: Dual Control Mixing Jet Cookers

The document describes dual control mixing jet cookers manufactured by Q-JET. The cookers use direct steam injection to pressure cook slurries and feature a micrometer-adjustable mixing tube and linear valve stem actuator to control steam flow and slurry feed pressure, allowing adjustments without shutting down. This prevents steam hammering and facilitates optimization for different materials or production rates. The mixing tube accelerates and shears slurry particles as they pass through and exit as a gel or paste. The cookers are used for processes like starch cooking and ethanol production.

DUAL CONTROL MIXING JET COOKERS

THE QUIET MIXING JET


STOP HAMMERING. KEEP COOKING.
All mixing jet cookers are prone to ear-splitting, floor-shaking steam hammering if the mixing tube is not properly adjusted relative to steam flow and slurry feed. But only Q-JET cookers let you adjust the mixing tube to stop steam hammer, while you cook. Simply turn Q-JETs patented Micrometer-Adjustable Mixing Tube to the quietest setting, and carry on. This feature also makes it fast and easy to dial in Q-JET cookers for changes in slurry materials or production rates. To adjust other cookers, if they are adjustable at all, you must shut them down and manually adjust the mixing tube by trial and error. Which makes your choice simple. You can put up with system damage caused by steam hammering , or get the quiet, productive Mixing Jet Cookers from Q-JET.

ADJUSTABLE STEAM FLOW CONTROL

DESIGN BENEFITS OF Q-JET MIXING JET COOKERS


STEAM INLET

COLD SLURRY INLET

Q-JET Mixing Jet Cookers use precisely controlled direct steam injection to pressurecook such slurries as starch, polyvinyl alcohol, and cellulose derivatives. Q-JETs patented Dual Dynamic Controls a Linear Valve Stem Actuator and Micrometer- Adjustable Mixing Tube facilitate in-process optimization of steam flow and slurry feed pressure to ensure quiet, hammer-free cooking and high output quality. ADDITIONALLY: Standard mixing tube sizes from .75 to 8 with slurry flow rates of 0.5 to 800 GPM adapt Q-JET Mixing Jet Cookers to diverse processing needs. High-durability seals promote extended maintenance-free performance. 316 Stainless construction provides high reserve strength and corrosion resistance. Optional designs meet 3A Sanitary Standards.

ADJUSTABLE MIXING TUBE ANNULUS GAP

THE INSIDE STORY


At the annulus of the patented Q-JET Micrometer-Adjustable Mixing Tube, slurry combines with steam and accelerates to high velocity. As the granules pass into the mixing tube, they further accelerate, begin to disperse, hydrate, and expand. While passing through the mixing tube, the swollen granules undergo high shear-mixing, gel, hydrate, and pass out of the Q-JET Mixing Jet Cooker into a retention tube or vessel. Q-JETs technology applies well to cooking various products, with temperatures controlled to suit the process. While temperatures typically range from 190 to 325F, temperature is not equipment-limited.
