Used Blancher Equipment
 Blancher equipment can be used for a variety of things, from heat setting product to removing the skins of fruit and vegetables by the use of heat. You have many options to choose from when purchasing blancher equipment right down to how the heat is generated – through hot steam or other safely heated liquids in continuous or batch cycles.
The blanching process removes sugars and starches from product and can provide heat necessary for later processing steps. When a product is blanched, it is submerged for a specific amount of time in hot water, steam, or liquid that is kept at a consistent temperature. The intense heat causes sugar and starch to seep from the product and eventually be completely removed. Several different types of blancher equipment are available through our inventory, including:
- Belt Blancher Equipment – perfect for fragile products, uses a mesh belt to evenly disperse product as it travels through heat and is finally dropped onto a conveyor
- Rotary Equipment –pushes product through blancher by a screw conveyor or rotating drum
No matter what type of equipment you choose, the blanching process always uses heat in a specific way to create the desired outcome. Water blanchers consist of a pan with both inlets and outlets and water injectors which agitate the water. Outlets create a circulatory system which recycles the water back to the injectors, where it is then heated by steam or heat exchange. A paddle conveyor combined with a blancher can create compartments within the blancher and insures your products are blanched for a set amount of time. Many different options and components are available when purchasing blancher equipment, and our seasoned professionals are glad to assist you in making the best and most cost-efficient selection for your processing line.
