Shrimp Cooking & Chilling
Low-Temperature Continuous
Steam Cooking & Chilling System
Proven CoolSteam Yield and Energy benefits with a fully integrated Water Recirculating system, improved sanitation, and food safety with less labor and footprint.
Laitram’s patented CoolSteam® technology is a groundbreaking solution that dramatically and permanently changed how Shrimp is cooked and chilled. CoolSteam combines low-temperature steam with forced convection to achieve the ideal balance of Product Safety, Flavor, Color, Texture, and Yield with precision temperature control.
Increase yield
1%-3% compared to any other method of cooking on the market.
Energy Savings
Decrease energy costs by 25% - 85%: precise temperature control and uniformity. Quick start-up times.
Product Quality
Shrimp's moisture and nutrients are retained. Thanks to the Low-temperature steam, texture, taste, and shape are superior to other cooking methods.
Food Safety
Optimal balance of lethality and quality. Reach the lethal temperature range without overcooking the outside surface.
CoolSteam Principles:
Forced Convection and Low-Temperature Steam Cooking.
-
Low-Temperature Steam Cooking: The CoolSteam method minimizes overcooking by limiting the temperature of the cooking environment (Less than 100˚C). The lower-temp environment (55˚-100˚C) prevents yield loss and flavor on the outside surface.
-
Forced Convection Cooking: CoolSteam uses this principle to provide uniform temperatures and better heat absorption, reducing cold spots and frequent adjustments that harm the product's quality, food safety, and yield.

What Our Clients
Say About Us
I have been very pleased with the purchase of our Laitram CoolSteam® Cooker. Compared to our conventional cooker, the Laitram produced a 2% higher yield, 50% savings in fuel, and overall a more consistent cooking process. It is extremely reliable and cooks the shrimp perfectly every time, giving us peace of mind. Laitram has been an excellent business partner, and we look forward to working with them in the future.
