Blancher

Food processing blanchers use a thermal process to clean and cook vegetables before further processing like freezing or canning. Blanching helps reduce microbes, remove trapped gases and pack leafy products by wilting the tissues to put into containers. Most blanchers use either steam belt or rotary drum technology. Steam blanched systems are valued because they retain solids and nutrients and tend to yield a crispier, fresher looking product. They also leave less water on the product which is desirable in freezing operations. Blanchers are used in many types of food processing facilities for vegetable, fruit, canning, freezing, drying, and fresh cut applications.

Regal Equipment offers used and reconditioned blanchers and cooker/ coolers from various manufacturers including Hughes, Lyco, Key, Blentech, FMC, A.K. Robins and Rietz.
