Shower-type blancherThis machine is designed to treat products by hot-water showering (spray) rather than immersion. It is ideal for products such as olives that must not be exposed to excessive heat: the system ensures heat acts uniformly and in a controlled way on the surface only, preserving internal texture, delicacy and shape.
Technical features and advantages:- Controlled shower system: Hot water is sprayed onto items on the conveyor via dedicated nozzles; because products are not immersed in boiling water, risks of overheating, melting or softening are avoided.
- Preserves product integrity: For products requiring low heat transfer, color, flavor and nutritional value are maintained while allowing transfer to the next process (e.g. drying or packing) at an optimal surface temperature.
- Heat and speed management: Shower water temperature and conveyor speed are adjustable to match the product; required temperature levels are kept stable within the cabinet.
- Water and energy savings: Sprayed water is filtered in the lower tank and recirculated; this cyclic operation reduces water and thermal energy consumption.
- 304 stainless steel construction: Frame, spray nozzles, conveyor and all contacting components are manufactured in 304 stainless steel, compliant with food regulations and suitable for continuous hot water/steam exposure with high corrosion resistance.
