Blancher Line
A blanching line is an important pre-treatment system used to halt enzyme activity, reduce microbial load, and preserve the color, taste, and nutritional value of fruits and vegetables through short-term heat treatment. Developed by Göztepe Makina, blanching lines are specifically designed to increase efficiency and product quality in the production of frozen foods, canned goods, and dried products.
These fully automated systems perform blanching with hot water or steam, depending on the product type and processing requirements. Time and temperature values are precisely controlled to increase the product's durability and ensure its suitability for subsequent processing. Göztepe Makina's energy-efficient, high-capacity, and hygienic blanching lines offer a reliable and sustainable solution for industrial food production.
The blanching line involves a controlled heat treatment process that prepares fruits and vegetables for processing such as freezing, canning, or drying while preserving their quality, color, and nutritional value. Göztepe Makina's blanching systems, with their automation support, offer efficient and hygienic production at every stage.
• Feeding:
Pre-washed products are automatically fed into the blanching unit via a conveyor belt system or screw conveyor.
• Blanching (Heat Treatment):
The products are subjected to heat in a hot water or steam environment for a specific period of time. During this stage, enzymes are inactivated, microbial load is reduced, and the product structure is preserved.
• Time and Temperature Control :
Processing time and temperature are automatically adjusted according to the product type, thus preventing overcooking or loss of quality.
• Cooling:
After blanching, the products are passed through a rapid cooling tunnel to end the heat treatment, thus preserving the ideal consistency and freshness.
• Transfer:
The cooled products are then directed to the next processing stage (freezing, packaging, or filling).
Göztepe Makina's blanching lines, thanks to their highly precise system structure, both improve product quality and provide businesses with savings in time, water, and energy.
