Overview
The blanching machine operates using electricity or steam as its energy source. It is designed and manufactured based on thermodynamic principles and specific food requirements, allowing it to blanch products of various specifications. The blanching time and temperature are automatically controlled, ensuring a simple and safe process that conserves both water and energy. The primary goal of the blanching machine is to preserve the vibrant color of fruits and vegetables by deactivating enzymes that can affect their freshness. Additionally, blanching helps to eliminate any odors, tightens the internal structure of the materials, and prevents the loss of aromas from marinated items. The process utilizes hot water, with electric or steam heating as the primary methods. Steam heating is commonly preferred for long-term use due to its cost-effectiveness. The operation is fully mechanized, eliminating the need for manual labor. Materials are transported into the blanching machine via a conveyor belt, equipped with frequency control to adjust the blanching time according to different product requirements. After blanching, the products are directed through a powerful air dryer, which removes any residual moisture from their surfaces, reducing the need for manual drying and increasing operational efficiency for the enterprise.

FAQ
What is the application of the blanching machine?
The blanching machine is versatile and can be used in various fields, including:
– Bottled and canned products
– Fruits and vegetables
– Pickles
– Dairy products
– Snack foods
– Low-temperature meat products
Blanching is used mainly for fragile items like wild vegetables, root vegetables (like carrots and asparagus), mushrooms, and fruit slices, serving as an essential step for quick freezing and dehydration.
Sterilization is crucial for ensuring the safety of food and extends shelf life by effectively killing harmful microorganisms. This process is suited for low-temperature meat, canned fruits, vegetable juices, pickles, jams, and more.
The machine accommodates various packaging types, including vacuum-sealed foods, soft bottles, and glass jars.
What is the installation and setup procedures for the blanching machine?
1. Equipment Placement:
Level the equipment feet at the designated location.
2. Utility Connections:
Connect water lines and electrical circuits.
3. Power Configuration:
Ensure correct power phase sequence; the green light on the phase sequence relay should be on.
4. Steam and Air Connections:
Connect the steam pipeline (pressure: 0.4 – 0.7 MPa).
Connect compressed air and adjust the relief valve (pressure: 0.6 – 0.8 MPa).
