What Is a Vegetable Blancher?
A vegetable blancher, also known as a blanching machine, is a specialized food processing equipment designed for blanching vegetables and fruits.
Blanching is a processing method that involves briefly heating vegetables at a specific temperature to preserve their freshness. Vegetable blanchers are widely used in food processing plants and the food manufacturing industry, as they efficiently process large quantities of vegetables.
There are various types of vegetable blanchers, with the most common ones using either steam or hot water heating. These machines differ in their control over heating temperature and duration. Some advanced blanching machines offer precise control over temperature and time, enabling more effective preservation of the freshness and quality of the produce.
