Smoking - Bastra

For industrial tasks
The Industrial Line product line made by Bayha &
Strackbein (Bastra; Arnsberg, Germany) includes
multi-cart universal cooking and smoking installations
for up to ten carts, climate curing and climate
smoke curing installations for up to 42 carts as well as
post-curing set-ups for up to 100 carts.
Universal cooking and smoking installations for over
four carts (hot smoke equipment) are furnished with
a separate machine component that can be placed
where needed, depending on the given space. The
multi-layer, 90 mm thick insulation of the wall elements
contributes to energy-efficient operation. All installations
of this product line can optionally be
equipped with space-saving jet doors that open upwards.
The stainless steel electric control box with “GP
Tec 500” glass panel controls or the optional “TS 800”
touch screen controls are independent units that can
be positioned where desired.
In climate maturing, climate smoke maturing and
post-maturing equipment, the ventilator unit, which
is separated from the mixing chamber, is vibrationdamped.
A frequency converter ensures infinitely variable
air-speed control. Depending on the model and
size, discharge channels and central suction channels
are available. The discharge jets and suction opening
of the channels can be set to operate separately from
one another and with variable speed.
Climate smoke maturing installations are standardly
equipped with a semi-automatic CIP cleaning system.
To ensure foaming of the smoke resin remover, pressurized
air is added to the cleaning agent.
For its Industrial Line installations, Bastra offers the
“600 H” and “1200 H” wood chip smoke generator
models. The reservoir and smoldering zone both have
an integrated extinguisher and fire protection feature.
The new “1200 H” automatically separates the reservoir
from the smoldering zone in order to prevent uncontrolled
slippage of chips into it. The electric heating
bar of the ignition device is located underneath
the smoldering plate, which protects it from mechanical
stress. The installation both controls the electrical
ignition process as well as monitors the ignition stick.
To easily and safely control smoldering and the
amount of chips, the expanded “1200 HE” smoke generator
has an additional observation window into the
smoldering room of the reservoir. This model also has
another special feature: it enables the option of producing
sausages using thinned or humidified smoke.
Three different smoke densities can be set. They can be
selected while the installation is running; the respective
program can be correspondingly adjusted during
operation at any time.
Every time the chamber is cleaned, the smoke pit is
automatically cleaned as well. The “1200 HE” can
also be cleaned, if desired.

Bastra’s climate ceiling units are designed to be an
economic solution for carrying out climatic maturing
or ripening processes in existing rooms. The “Bastra
DG 1210” model is used to equip climatic maturing
rooms. Installed below the ceiling in the middle of the
maturing room, air is sucked in through the cold
evaporator and the electric heater before finally being
directed via two diverting valves to the air ejection
channels mounted in the room. The device itself also
contains the humidifying module and the infinitely
adjustable air-circulating fan. Regulating organs in
the external electric control box monitor and control
the temperature, humidity and air speed. In regard to
temperature and humidity control, so-called adaptive
control constraint is used. This allows the upper and
lower values to be set. If the temperature or humidity
diverges from these specified values, heating, cooling,
humidification or dehumidification automatically occurs
in order to achieve the required values once
again. If the room temperature and relative humidity
are within the preset range, the operator can preselect
the further mode of operation of the circulation motor
via a three-step switch.
The “Bastra DG 64” climate ceiling unit was developed
for equipping post-maturing or storage rooms. It
runs in a temperature range of +13 °C to +18 °C. The
relative humidity can be regulated between 65 and 85
percent.
The “DG 1210” and “DG 64” models are designed for
rooms with a square
footage of up to 12 m² and
a ceiling height of mini-

mum 2.70 m and maximum 3.00 m. The maximum
room volume per unit is circa 36 m³. For large rooms
of up to 72 m³ with space for 16 carts, two units are required;
both are controlled by a microprocessor.
