Belt Blancher Machine
FRY-TECH FOOD EQUIPMENTS PVT LTD Belt Blancher
remains the most versatile machine for high-capacity vegetable and fruit
processing. Unlike screw blanchers, the belt type is essential for delicate
products (like leafy greens, broccoli, or mushrooms) and multi-layered
products (like sliced potatoes/French fries) that would be damaged by an
auger.
1. Advanced FRY-TECH Blancher Features
- Double-Mesh
System: High-end models now use a "Submerged Belt" design. A
second belt runs on top of the product to keep buoyant items (like peas or
sliced apples) fully submerged in the hot water for 100% enzyme
deactivation.
- Multi-Stage
Heating: Modern lines feature 2 or 3 temperature zones. For example,
you can start at 75C to soften the skin and move to 95 C for core blanching, which preserves
better color and crunch.
- Motorized
Hood Lifting: For cleaning, the top hood now lifts automatically via
hydraulic cylinders, allowing for full "Clean-In-Place" (CIP)
access to the conveyor bed.
