Blanching machines play a critical role in food processing by cleaning and cooking fruits and vegetables before they are frozen, canned, or dried. These systems use hot water, steam, or other liquids applied in either continuous or batch operations to remove sugars, starches, gases, and microbes. The blanching process enhances food safety, quality, and shelf life.
Most industrial blanchers use either steam belt or rotary drum technology. Steam systems are especially popular because they preserve nutrients and texture, producing fresher-looking results with less surface water, which is ideal for freezing. Common applications include vegetables, fruit, beans, and fresh-cut processing.
