Description
Blanching (French blanchir) is a method of cooking vegetables, fruit or meat. Meat will remain more succulent for further heat treatment. Furthermore, this heat treatment method is used to facilitate easier removal of membranes. For fruit and vegetables, blanching is used to remove the skin on fruits and vegetables that are too stiff or too thick, such as tomatoes, peaches, apricots, and the like.
Due to the short-term exposure to higher temperatures, vitamins, taste and color will be retained in the food, but micro-organisms, which may cause deterioration of food during preservation, will be destroyed. This will preserve higher quality of food, for example, frozen vegetables will have a fresher color and more pronounced taste.

How it works
The SnackPro series of blanchers do not have a conveyor belt for sliding the product. The product is shifted due to the movement of the water pumped by the pump as well as by means of blades which not only move the product to the loading zone but also gently mix for even heat treatment.
The product is unloaded using a conveyor. The length of time the product is immersed (processing time) is determined by the speed of the conveyor movement.
