Screw blancher

The screw blancher is designed for blanching vegetables, fruits, legumes, pasta, and seafood before canning and freezing. The blanching process is an alternative and sometimes the only cooking method for temperature-sensitive products. Short processing with steam or warm water lets you clean the product from microbes and mold, making it safe for the consumer. One of the advantages of the blancher is its versatility. The plant can be configured to process different types of products, such as:

• soft seafood, such as shell-less mussels or shrimp;
• vegetables;
• fruits;
• mushrooms;
• and many more.

Blanching allows for the enzyme’s deactivation and reduces or stops its activity, which can damage the product’s color, taste, and smell. Some products acquire a light color during the blanching process. The screw blancher is equipped with a hopper to supply the product. Hot water is located in the lower part of the equipment. Heating passes through a steam cover with condensate removal. The product is transported by the screw movement.
